Diversi studi sono stati dedicati all’analisi delle implicazioni emotive sul funzionamento cognitivo; particolare attenzione, a tal riguardo, è stata riservata alle molteplici influenze sulle performance accademiche, in adolescenti e giovani adulti, con risultati contradditori nei bambini. Al fine di sistematizzare le evidenze sui campioni più giovani, l’articolo presenta una rassegna dei principali e più recenti contributi sull’argomento, con un focus sulla relazione tra emozioni negative e performance in campioni di studenti della scuola primaria. La selezione degli studi di interesse è stata condotta interrogando la banca dati Scopus. Sono stati inclusi nella rassegna 21 lavori, pubblicati dal 2013 ad oggi, che rispettavano i criteri di inclusione ed esclusione stabiliti a priori. I risultati di studi cross-sectional evidenziano una associazione negativa tra emozioni e performance già a partire dalla scuola primaria, prevalentemente null’ultima classe, con il coinvolgimento anche di caratteristiche individuali; lavori longitudinali, in aggiunta, analizzano gli effetti di relazioni reciproche tra i costrutti.

Abstract
In recent years, several studies have been conducted in order to analyze the influence of emotions on cognitive functioning; in this regard, specific interest was dedicated to the influence of emotions on academic performance, in adolescents and young adults, with con-tradictory results in children. In order to systematize the evidence on younger samples, the cur-rent article aims to review the most recent contributions on this topic by focusing the attention on the relationship between negative emotions and mathematical academic performance, in samples of primary school students. Studies were selected by querying the Scopus database. Twenty-one studies, published from 2013 onwards, met the a priori inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the review. The results of cross-sectional studies show a negative association between emotions and performance already in primary school, mainly in the last grade, also involving in-dividual characteristics; longitudinal works, in addition, analyze the effects of reciprocal relation-ships between the constructs.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
