Whist the PANAS questionnaire and Bradburn's formula are used to model the student's emotional well-being state before the start a lesson, three variables; namely the self-belief, the independence and the number of attempts which are derived from the OCC model are used to model the student's emotional well-being state during the lesson itself.
