Strengthening School Connectedness to Increase Student Success
Category: Student Well-Being
Instrument Overview
The Momentary Emotion Assessment Tool is designed to track students' emotions and their responses in real time at school. This tool helps researchers and educators understand momentary emotions, how they change, and assess the impact of interventions aimed at improving students' school experiences. Students receive individual reports with feedback on enhancing their emotional well-being, while schools receive aggregated data and resources to support students. The tool also contributes to scientific insights on how adolescents' emotions vary across different contexts, including time, setting, activity, and social interactions, and how these experiences differ among students.
