Abstract

The aim of this research was to examine the relationship between appraisals of control and value with the positive and negative learning-related achievement emotions and academic success. The research was conducted with psychology and sociology students at the Catholic University of Croatia. The participants completed the Learning-Related Emotion Scales i.e. the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire, Task Value Scale and Control of Learning Beliefs Scale from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire and few questions about sociodemographic data including their academic success.
The results showed that positive learning-related achievement emotions have a statistically significant positive correlation with academic success, while negative learning-achievement emotions have a statistically significant negative correlation with academic success. There was also correlation between other measured variables. The results were interpreted according to theoretical assumptions and practical implications of the importance of emotions in an academic setting were showed.
