Many Teachers: Emotions
Collaborating with world-renowned teacher emotion scholar Anne Frenzel at the University of Munich, Dr. Daniels has many emotions about this many emotions project: excitement, fear, joy, anxiety. Modelled after the "Many Labs Project" approach that sought to increase the robustness of psychological research by joining labs to collect international data, in this study we are looking to find out “what it feels to feel” for teachers, worldwide, how intensely and frequently they report to experience and express a selected group of discrete emotions, how they regulate them, and how appropriate it is for them to experience and express them in the classroom.
