Resumen:
The time is ripe for reflecting on the current study of the relationship between emotions and mathematics. An overview of contemporary literature on the topic is presented. Empirical articles addressing emotional phenomena outside the mathematics anxiety domain are also reviewed. Three issues are analyzed: the growth pattern of the literature, the contexts of mathematical activity in which emotions have been studied, and the research trends in the literature. Most of the current literature has been produced during the last 20 years and seems to be growing rapidly. The majority of studies address populations in elementary and secondary education. There are three main research trends. The most prominent one deals with emotional traits, and it focuses on emotional orientations and their relation to mathematics performance and other affective constructs. The second, less frequent focus is on emotional states, and it investigates interactions between emotional, cognitive, and environmental factors when completing mathematical tasks. The third, least studied, subject deals with emotional interventions, and it investigates methods of intentionally influencing emotions during mathematical activity. These results are discussed and suggestions for future research are advanced. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
