How Similar Are Students' Aggregated State Emotions to Their Self-Reported Trait Emotions? Results from a Measurement Burst Design Across Three School Years.

ABSTRACT: Students' emotions in the classrom are highly dynamic and thus typically strongly vary from one moment to the next. Methodologies like experience sampling and daily diaries have been increasingly used to capture these momentary emotional states and its fluctuations. A recurring question is to what extent aggregated state ratings of emotions over a longer period of time are similar to self-reported traits of emotions. Thus, this study aims to investigate the extent of similarity between students' aggregated emotional states and self-reported traits over a two-week period in three consecutive school years (N _T1 = 149, average age_T1 = 15.64 years). Six discrete emotions (enjoyment, anger, pride, anxiety, shame, and boredom) were assessed in German, English, French
