  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Advances in Teacher Emotion Research

Abstract

I review the research on emotion management in teaching since the 1990s, including the theoretical knowledge underlying this research. My focus will be on describing its contribution to our knowledge base about emotional displays and their determinants in school teaching. I also discuss emotion management at work and then focuses on forms of emotion management in teaching. I also review and analyze factors affecting emotion management in teaching – such as the culture of teaching, gender, seniority, and the principal. Finally, I discuss the implications of emotion management in teaching.
