ABSTRACT
The results of the empirical study are noteworthy in terms of the links found between translators’ self-perceived emotional skills and a number of sociobiographical variables; they add weight to the extensive literature attesting to the impact of emotions on various aspects of people’s lives. At the facet level, statistically significant positive relationships were found between emotion regulation and expression, on one hand, and the variables of professional translation experience, education level, and literary translation experience, on the other hand. In addition, a statistically significant positive relationship was found between emotion expression and the variable of job satisfaction. Although the literature reviews in Chapters 3 and 4 did not highlight age as a possible variable of interest for these facets, we can see from Appendix 2 that both emotion regulation and expression also showed statistically significant positive relationships with age.
