Resumen

El objetivo del estudio fue examinar los posibles antecedentes y consecuencias de las emociones de los profesores en el aula. Basados en una perspectiva cognitivo social y la teoría de la Autodeterminación, se examina la relación entre las necesidades psicológicas básicas (BPNs), las emociones de los profesores relacionadas con la clase y la satisfacción con la vida de los docentes. Una muestra de 595 profesores de Andalucía (España) participó en una encuesta online. Se probó un modelo de ecuación estructural, en el que las BPNspredijeron las emociones de los profesores(β = .69; p <.001 emociones positivas y β = -.42; p <.001 emociones negativas). Además, las BPNs (β = .36; p <.001) y las emociones positivas (β = .23; p <.001) predijeron la satisfacción con la vida.Los resultados muestran la importancia de satisfacer las BPNs relacionadas con el trabajopara generar emociones positivas y bienestar en los docentes. Además, el estudio es el primero en aportar amplios detalles sobre las propiedades psicométricas para evaluar las emociones de los profesores con el Cuestionario de Emociones de Logro(AEQ-T) en una muestra española.
