Effect of metacognitive experiences on emotion experienced after
problem solving. We expected feeling of success to positively predict
pride and negatively predict shame. Due to a lack of prior findings
on discrete emotions we did not make any specific predictions for
the contribution of feeling of success on the other emotions, or on
the specific contribution of feeling of difficulty on the six discrete
emotions. We nonetheless anticipated feeling of success would
positively predict pleasant emotions and negatively predict unpleasant
emotions and conversely, that feeling of difficulty would
positively predict unpleasant emotion and negatively predict
pleasant emotion
