Are teachers' and students' emotions reciprocally transmitted in the classroom?

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundUnderstanding teachers' and students' emotions in the classroom is acknowledged as beneficial for teaching and learning. While existing studies have emphasized the relationships between teachers and students, it remains unclear how teachers' and students' emotions are transmitted from one lesson to the next.
aimsWe investigated the transmission of teachers' and students' emotions by exploring reciprocal relationships between their emotional experiences across lessons. SAMPLE: Twenty homeroom teachers and their students in Grades 4-5 (N = 306) in Taiwan participated.
methodUsing an intra-individual design, we collected teachers' self-reported lesson-specific positive and negative emotions (4 items per composite; n = 249 lessons) and students' perceptions of teachers' emotions as well as their own emotions (n = 3884 lessons) at the end of each lesson over 5 days. We specified cross-classified structural equation models (CCSEM).
resultsMost variance in teachers' emotions was at the teacher level (ICC = .62), whereas students' negative emotions varied the most at the lesson level (ICC = .49-.52). Teachers' and students' prior emotions carried over to subsequent lessons (positive/negative: β = .14-.20/.17-.27). We found a reciprocal transmission of same-valence emotions between students' perceptions of teachers' and their own emotions. Additionally, teachers' prior positive emotions were associated with students' positive emotions.
conclusionsThe study supports a reciprocal relationship between students' perceptions of teachers' emotions and their own emotions, whereas teachers' emotions are linked primarily to their own previous emotions. These results suggest that enhancing emotional experiences in class requires consideration of both teachers' and students' emotions simultaneously.
