Emotional spillover in classrooms: A multilevel mediational analysis of teachers' emotions, emotional labor strategies and students' affective experiences

Teachers can transmit their expressed emotions on their students by processes of emotional contagion. Since teachers emotional expressions are often guided by certain emotional display rules of teaching profession, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of emotional labor strategies in explaining the link between teachers’ emotions and their students’ affective experiences. It was proposed that emotional contagion, i.e. a transmission of emotions from teachers to their students, is mediated by teachers’ emotional labor. In order to test this assumption, data on emotions and emotional labor from high-school teachers (N=94) as well as the data on affective experiences of their students (N=2019) were obtained. A multilevel structural equation modeling showed that, at teacher level, teachers’ emotional labor fully mediates the relationship between teachers’ emotions and class level of students’ affective experiences, emphasizing the central role of teacher emotion regulation processes in understanding the emotional spillover in classrooms.
