ABSTRACT

In recent years, academic emotions have attracted a great deal of scholarly attention. Academic emotions are linked to many factors that influence academic achievement, but there is no review that addresses the effects of academic emotions on academic performance. This article aims to review the direct impact of academic mood on academic achievement, mediating mechanisms, and moderating mechanisms. The result shows that academic emotions have a direct impact on academic achievement and are important to study. It should be noted that different types of academic emotions have different impacts on academic achievement. Factors such as intelligence, academic buoyancy, and word-reading fluency have moderating effects between academic emotions and academic performance. On the other hand, academic emotions have an indirect impact on academic achievement by influencing factors such as attributional style, academic engagement, goals, and strategies. Future studies could focus on the impact of shifts in academic emotions on academic achievement, with more attention to the humanities and language subject areas.
