Abstract | Epistemic emotions such as surprise, curiosity, and confusion occur during epistemic cognitive activities. They result from cognitive appraisals about the (mis-)alignment between new information and existing knowledge or beliefs. More specifically, epistemic emotions can be triggered by discrepant or contradictory information that prompts cognitive incongruity, and they can influence cognitive information processing and the generation of knowledge. Metacognitive feelings, on the other hand, are affective experiences that inform individuals about the status of their cognitive processes. Metacognitive feelings are products of inferential processes that are often non-conscious and non-analytic, and they can influence the regulation of cognition. These definitions suggest that both epistemic emotions and metacognitive feelings are closely connected to cognitive processing, which raises the question whether, and how, they relate to each other. In this chapter, we introduce the concept of epistemic emotions and discuss similarities, differences, and links between epistemic emotions and metacognitive feelings. |
