Cognitive and Affective Causes of Interest and Liking.

Iran-Nejad, Asghar

Journal of Educational Psychology, v79 n2 p120-30 Jun 1987

Two experiments investigated some of the cognitive and affective causes of interest and liking. Results did not support the hypothesis that degree of surprise per se causes interest. The hypothesis that interest and liking arise from different causes was supported. (Author/LMO)
