Rowe, Anna D.; Fitness, Julie; Wood, Leigh N.
Australian Educational Researcher, v41 n3 p283-309 Jul 2014
This paper reports on a qualitative study exploring the role and functionality of emotions in feedback. In-depth interview data from students and lecturers at an Australian university are analysed using cognitive appraisal and prototype theory. Results suggest that students experience a range of positive and negative emotions in feedback contexts which function to address both achievement and relational concerns. Practical implications are identified.
