Summary/Abstract: Having an interest in the matter of the educational subject is a prerequisite for experiencing positive or negative emotions. Thanks to their interest, students develop their emotional experience.

Therefore, this article examines the impact of interest in a particular group of subjects on the experience of emotions with positive or negative valence.
