摘要：Introduction. We investigated the meaning of sixteen achievement emotion words —anger,anxiety, boredom, contentment, despair, disappointment, frustration, guilt, hope, hopelessness,joy, pride, relief, sadness, shame, and surprise—, specifically in terms of their actiontendencies component, through a modified version of the CoreGRID questionnaire. Our aimwas to identify in which cases the achievement context modifies the semantic profiles of eachemotion word, specifically in terms of their action tendencies component, as compared to anunspecified general context.Method. Forty-one participants (22 females; Mage = 21.8, SD = 3.5), and another group ofthirty-six participants (21 females; Mage = 20.42, SD = 2.8), rated the likelihood of eighteenaction tendencies to be part of the meaning of each emotion word in an achievement contextcondition and in a general context condition, respectively.Results. In both conditions, Cronbach’s Alpha ranged from 0.95 to 0.98. Data analysis revealedstatistically significant differences for every emotion investigated, suggesting an influenceof context in their semantic profile.Discussion. The discussion of these results is centered mainly around data from other studiesthat were interested in the motivational component of emotions, since there is a lacking ofresearch on semantic profiles of achievement emotions. Finally, we make suggestions on directionsfor future research and inform of the limitations of our study.
