This article presents the results of an investigation carried out on the followers of the television series The Newsroom (HBO) in Spain. Two focus groups (N = 17) were carried out. They included journalists (with different roles in local and national media) and journalism students from various Spanish universities. The participants were questioned about their experiences, knowledge, and perceptions of the plot and the characters of the audiovisual fiction. The interpretation of the data was made from four levels, which evaluated the emotional involvement from lower to higher degree: (1) transportation, (2) identification, (3) parasocial interaction, and (4) worship. The central hypothesis raised the relationship between the ethical values of The Newsroom and the high emotional involvement of the fans. The results obtained will help to understand the high degree of identification of the spectators with the media content. The internalization of ethical values, the adoption of the character's point of view, and the reflection on their informative mission, based on the fiction proposal, are significant aspects. Participants demonstrated an aspirational tendency through empathy and the desire to imitate the main characters. The reasoning of the fans revealed parasocial interactions, and their experiences of transportation (immersion in the story) demonstrated critical skills expressed through counterarguments.

In Spain, various interventions have been designed and implemented to improve emotional competencies and the development of Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) in teachers in initial training. Through inquiry, they are emotionally and intellectually engaged in scientific learning. This article analyses the change in emotions towards the inquiry methodology in a Science Didactics subject with emotional intervention. Fifty-four students enrolled in the Degree of Primary Education at the University of Huelva, who manifested in a questionnaire with a Likert scale their degree of agreement in the intensity of seven negative emotions, before, during, and after the intervention. Also, through classroom observations, narratives, and interviews with the trainer and a new teacher, the possible causes of change are established. Data treatment was based on descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and non-parametric tests. The results confirm the predominance of positive emotions in the three moments. There is a significant increase in enthusiasm, satisfaction, interest, acceptance, tranquillity, well-being, and wonder, also a significant decrease in scare, fear, and boredom. The approach to a socioscientific issue linked to the Andalusian context, the application of regulation strategies and the field trip to the natural environment enhance the change in emotions.

In the present study, building on classic studies regarding partisan identification and its recent evolution, we carry out an analysis based on structural equation modelling of the factors that explain the construction of the concept. To do this, we have used the Political Study of the General Elections in Spain 2016: Emotions and Electoral Behaviour carried out by the Political Research Group at the University of Santiago de Compostela after the 2016 General Election in Spain. The results have permitted us to identify certain issues of great interest, including the importance of three components as central elements in the construction of partisan identification: a positive emotional component felt toward political parties and their leaders, a structural component driven by the effect of cleavages, and a political competition component, represented by the role of political leadership.

Media, and in recent years social media, are a space for political confrontation that generate a framework for the interpretation of democracy and affections. Their consumption directly affects citizens attitudes, reinforcing previous beliefs and building both a cognitive and emotional framing. From this viewpoint, emotions are constructed and circulate socially within the framework of political communication. The objective of this article is to investigate the extent to which and the conditions under which media and social media determine citizens' emotions towards the different political actors in Spain. To this aim, a analysis has been carried out using the Post-Election Survey for the November 2019 General Elections. As main results, it is shown that citizens who consume political information in Spain through any type of media present a more active emotional profile, with a greater presence of negative emotions than positive ones and, with a greater intensity of aversion on the internet. Moreover, the different supports have their own characteristics, highlighting the activation of enthusiasm towards left-wing parties on television and a generalization of negative emotions towards all formations and candidates on social media, especially on Twitter.

This article analyzes and compares the following of Twitter users during the two electoral debates of the general elections in Spain in April and November 2019. Through the collection of the official hashtags #ElDebateDecisivo (970,706 tweets) and #DebateElectoral (821,521) respectively from 9 am on the day of the debate until 2 am the following day, we analyzed the polarity and basic emotions of the messages posted on the social network using algorithms with R software. A network theory study was also carried out to determine each account's affiliation to each group. The results show a polarization in the network, with well-defined groups with hardly any relationship with other groups of different ideologies. It is also observed that the entry of a new player, Vox, into the second debate completely alters the rest of the centerright parties, which end up seeing it from a much more negative perspective. This entry does not involve major changes among the left-wing parties, but it does mean an increase in fear. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, social networks have become an important communication platform through which candidates promote the political engagement of their constituents. One of the variables that could influence this ability to generate engagement through social networks is the use of messages with a significant emotional charge, both positive and negative. Our research aims to delve into the analysis of this relationship between political engagement and emotions in social networks, through the Sentiment Analysis in the tweets of the main candidates in the general elections of April and November 2019 in Spain. For this we resort to the technique of text extraction and its analysis with the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) software, relating the level of presence of positive and negative emotions, with the level of engagement reached by the candidates during the electoral campaign. Our analysis helps to demonstrate the existence of a relationship between the emotional charge of the discourse on social networks and the level of engagement it generates, although this seems to be also mediated by the political agenda and the campaign strategy of the parties. We also verify that the relationship between emotional discourse and engagement towards a leader is not exclusively endogenous, but may also be due to exogenous elements due to the presence of shared digital communities.

Spain is no longer the exception in Europe. VOX's entry--first into the Andalusian party system and then into the Spanish one--marked the beginning of a new political stage. This article aims to move beyond a simplistic interpretation of the far right, in order to establish an emotional profile of VOX voters in comparison to voters of other political parties. It also seeks to shed light on the key issues in the emergence of this new party. The study uses Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) to build a structural model that describes and explains the impact of the elements that have shaped the political behaviour related to voting for VOX.

Chinese culture is distinguished by its civility, courtesy, decorum and the tendency to suppress negative emotions in pursuit of maintaining harmonious interpersonal relationships (Gao, 2008; Liu 2014). Unlike Spanish culture, where there is greater freedom to exhibit them, their control in the Chinese community is especially noticeable when there is a difference in social distance (Gu, 1990). In order to observe the manifestation of the emotions of both cultures and study their adaptation to an academic context, we have done a descriptive analysisin which the emotions displayed were identified and classified according to Pekrun y Linnenbrink-García's, (2012) taxonomy. For this purpose, we used a corpus of 100 emails written by native Spanish university students and ChineseSpanish-learning students who live in China or in Spain. The results suggest that the Chinese participants did not act according to the prototypical characteristics of their culture, nor did they conform to an appropriate register and style in academic Spanish.

Introduction. The impact of the information on COVID-19 on the Spanish population is analysed to identify the effects and emotions related to the channels and sources of information consumption during the first phase of the pandemic, which coincided with the first days of the state of alarm. Methodology. To this end, a survey administered via the Internet (n=1823.) was distributed during the second and third weeks of confinement (from March 23 to April 8, 2020) to the entire elderly population resident in Spain and with access to the Internet. Results. Among the results obtained, it is worth noting that news about the pandemic generated different negative emotions during this period - sadness, anxiety, fear, confidence and anger - which varied depending on the channel of information consumption. Among the topics that were of most interest to those surveyed were data on the evolution of the pandemic, protective measures and forms of infection, while the most credible sources were organizations and official authorities, health personnel and the media. Conclusions. It is shown the importance of emotions - especially negative ones - in the population's perceptions in crisis contexts such as the Covid-19 in Spain. Specifically, Emotional Support is the second most valued and official message, empathy, the most outstanding feature of the information received. The Government's ability to "understand" and "put itself in the place of the citizenry" ahead of any other aspect is positively appreciated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The use of Twitter by newspapers is widespread and is a way to keep readers informed in real time. In this article, we analyze the discourse of the messages released by the ten main general information newspapers in Spain and the reactions they provoked on the social network. The objective is to analyze whether the emotional discourse of the news in each newspaper caused greater dissemination among and attention from users, as well as to determine the emotions and feelings expressed by them. To do so, news about important events such as court judgements, street riots, and general elections was followed between October and November 2019. A total of 124,897 tweets collected using machine-learning techniques were analyzed by the application of algorithms which allowed the determination of emotions and valences of feelings. We carried out statistical studies and produced graphs showing the dependence between emo- tional variables and positive or negative sentimental valence. The results showed that, in general, newspapers do not use an excessive amount of emotional speech with the aim of impacting their public. However, differences were found among the newspapers in terms of trying to encourage reader loyalty. The reaction of the users was more linked to the informative facts themselves and the emotions they provoked than to the type of emotional and/or polarized discourse. The day-to-day information determines to a large extent what is consumed by Twitter users, in which changing modes of speech are observed depending on the editorial line of each newspaper.

The study of emotions has resurged in the last 20 years from different discipline spaces and with different theoretical approaches and methodological gears, although its incorporation in the field of political science has not been simple. Under for further reading of the relationship that emotions and reason keep between them, we propose in this work to perform an analysis of the role that the emotions can have in the voting decision. To this end, the convulsed and confusing political context that took place in the General Elections of 2016 in Spain, after an unsuccessful attempt of government formation, it is the ideal scenario in which to analyse and to study the impact that in the voting decision played it, along with other traditional components, the emotional element.

Collective identity has been conceptualized by social movement theories mainly as a definition. In this text, based in feminist theories, I argue that the conceptualization of collective identity as a definition forgets other fundamental dimensions -mainly relations and emotions- and, moreover, limits its processual character. This argument is based on the study of contemporary feminist mobilizations in Spain through a qualitative fieldwork (quasi-biographical interviews, focus groups, participant observations and the analysis of written and graphic materials). The analysis allows the widening of dimensions of collective identities - from definitions to relations and emotions- as well as the radicalization of their processuality by placing the notions of iteration and activation at the heart of the analysis. I offer a theoretical-analytical proposal that understands that collective identities are but partial materializations, always unfinished processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Nationalist education during the Franco era used weekly slogans written in students' notebooks as a resource for memorizing and non-critical learning. The objective of this article is to analyze the link between the world of the emotions, the content of the slogans used, and the cultivation of patriotism. We have used a methodology relevant to the curricular micro-history of a unitary school in Navafría (1964-1965 school year) in the context of Franco's Spain. We conclude by revealing an emotional indoctrination aimed at loading the students' minds with a positive emotional charge intended to generate an exclusionary and intolerant form of patriotism, at the same time that it institutionalized the past in accordance with the totalitarian interests of the regime.

In this paper, by analyzing deep qualitative interviews, we explore how ordinary people, in other words persons without previous political experience, are now participating actively in the urban movement and have developed a personal process of emancipation, transforming themselves into political subjects. The study case that we propose is the local expression of 15M in Seville, the capital of one of the poorest regions of Spain and Europe, Andalusia, and one of the most affected areas because of the economic and the social crisis. With regard to the emotional dimension of the protest, we want to show how the persons interviewed deal with the threat deriving from moral shock, identify those responsible and elaborate the injustice frame as well as the process that leads to the transformation of conscience and behaviour.

This study assesses the relation between coping strategies and emotions to know to what extend these are processes related to aggressive behavior . We assume that the aggression influence coping mechanisms in solving problems and handling of emotions: emotional instability (lack of self-control in stressful situations) or empathy (feelings faced to "other" who has a problem or need). A sample of 1.557 boys and girls, with an age range of 12-15 years, enrolled in first-cycle of Compulsory Secondary Education in 36 Scholar Centers in the Valencian Community, randomly selected, was evaluated. The results indicate clear differences between high and low aggression and coping mechanisms that they use. More aggressive adolescents used to a greater extent an unproductive coping, while less aggressive adolescents apply strategies more focused on solving the problem. In all structural equation models, the direct effect of emotional instability and empathy on aggression is significant, always positive in first case but negative in the second one. Besides, empathy promotes coping centered on the resolution of the problem whereas emotional instability is positively related to unproductive coping and this one with aggression.

In this study, two questions are analyzed: (1) what the emotions provoked by the Spanish government's declaration of its intention to negotiate a peace process with the terrorist group ETA are; (2) how these emotions relate to different attitudes to this negotiation. A questionnaire was applied to a sample of 263 university students. A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to verify how emotions were organized and an ANOVA was subsequently conducted to analyze the relationship between emotions and attitudes to negotiation. With respect to the first question, the emotions which are linked to the negotiation process are classified in a three factor model (enthusiasm, anger and anxiety), and with respect to the second, it became clear that the emotion of anger is associated with subjects who are against negotiation. At the same time, enthusiasm and anxiety were associated with different attitudes to negotiation, support and rejection respectively; however, both these emotions were also found to be present among those who wanted the different political parties to reach an agreement and face the process of negotiation with a common policy.

Previous research has shown that in highly repressive contexts, the emergence and continuity of activism cannot be understood without considering the role of strong subjective, affective and emotional elements. Building on this approach, this article offers a longitudinal analysis of the activism of the first generation of clandestine anarchists under Franco's dictatorship (1939-1975). The results point towards a combination of three factors that help explain the maintenance of anarchist activism. These are: i) the role of hope in the perception of opportunities for mobilization; ii) the strategic mobilization of indignation in the discourse directed at potential supporters and participants; and iii) the strengthening of the ideological identification with the movement due, paradoxically, to the effects of repression. The sources used include a range of archival material as well as activists' memoirs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Having overcome the prejudice that equated emotion with irrationality, collective action theories are beginning to incorporate emotional variables. Nonetheless, these are restricted to negative ones, fundamentally anger. This is due to the fact that collective action is associated exclusively with protest, when this does not necessarily have to be the case. The aims of the present work are twofold: a) to analyze the structure of emotions with regard to the Spanish Government's decision to negotiate with ETA; and b) to verify the impact of these emotions and of ideology on the intention to participate in demonstrations supporting or protesting against said decision. The results show that emotions can be organized into three factors: anger, enthusiasm and anxiety. Anger and enthusiasm account for a high percentage of variance in the attention to demonstrate. Ideology, although to a lesser extent, also has a significant influence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Spain, the dying process is sometimes described as «bad» or even «awful». There are many reasons for this situation, the most important being the difficulties health care professionals have to face with death and their lack of ability to help and assist patients to go through the dying process. The influence of the current cultural context regarding death and the way people die is paired with other factors. These factors are both clinical and professional in nature such as for example: the moment of diagnosis of a terminally ill patient that entails important emotional implications for the health care professionals, the patient and their family. All these factors have a direct influence on the health care assistance. We conducted Grounded Theory-based, phenomenological, qualitative research using a final sample of 42 in-depth interviews with doctors and nurses from different fields in Granada (Spain) in order to understand their point of view, as health care providers, on the assistance given to terminally ill patients. The results were analysed with Atlas-tí software using thematic coding. The results show the effect the emotional factor has on the clinical judgment of health care professionals and support the need for broader and more comprehensive study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present Spanish Educational Law (L.O.G.S.E.) takes in account the attitudes between the curricular contents that have to be taught at school. Nevertheless, neither the promotion of attitudes nor its evaluation are an easy task to be developed by educators. This is, in a major part, due because the term «attitude» lacks of the needed conceptual clarity. In our opinion, the attitudinal dispositions have a correspondence with determined affective states that predispose individuals to act in the sense those states prescribe. In this way, the education of attitudes can be considered as an aspect of emotional education that has to be promoted by educators out of its appointment to any knowledge's areas.
