“…An interest in studying the different achievement emotions throughout schooling has emerged in recent years (Pekrun and Perry 2014). Most studies have used either crosssectional (e.g., Monteiro et al 2017;Raccanello, Brondino, and Bernardi 2013) or longitudinal methodologies (Ahmed et al 2013;Mata et al 2017;Pinxten, Marsh, Fraine, Noortgate, and Van Damme 2014;Wang, Chow, Hofkens, and Salmela-Aro 2015), focusing on students from fourth through eleventh grades. The findings of cross-sectional studies are in general agreement, revealing higher intensity of positive emotions (e.g., enjoyment, pride, and relief) for younger students and higher intensity of negative emotions (e.g., anger, boredom) for older students, in the domain both of mathematics (Monteiro et al 2017;Raccanello et al 2013) and language (Raccanello et al 2013).…”
