Junior middle school stage is the key and special period to receive education for the students. Learning is the theme of life for them. Learning emotion of the junior middle school students has very important influence for their academic. The systematic study about the learning emotion of the junior middle school students has not been on. The content of learning emotion has not been clear either. So this research on the learning emotional content of Junior middle school students and the impact of emotional factors have been carried on through surveys, and making a further exploration about the relationship between the two characteristics.In recent years, many scholars in the world pay much attention to the study of learning emotion. According to the psychological needs of students, it has been an important issue that how to make the students learn happily, how to make them take the initiative to seek, and how to inspire them to keep the positive sentiment. Having comprehended the existing literature, we find that the learning emotion-related research focused on two aspects: First, it's about the academic emotion, which focuses on the emotional type and characteristics of students in the learning process demonstrated. Second, it's on the learning emotion of specific subjects, which is mainly concentrated in specific disciplines of study and emotional content and features. Learning emotion study makes us know clearly the main types of emotions in their learning process. But this type of emotional response is only a surface phenomenon; it does not make us deeply understand the inner feelings. The previous studies of learning emotion were not on students'learning activities characteristic, so they are very confusing and unreasonable. In the past, the researches about influence factor of learning emotion were focused on theory and less of empirical research. For the inadequacies and deficiencies, on the basis of literature analysis and interviews, this study determines clearly content and the impact factors of learning emotion. The learning emotion and feeling were distinguished. It is thought that the learning emotions are the feelings that the psychological experience and feelings the students have after a long period of learning activities in the relatively stable period. It is also thought that the students'learning activities closely related to the learning emotional factor.Based on the interviews and document analysis, "Learning Emotion Questionnaire for Junior Middle School Students" and " Impact Factors of Learning Emotion Questionnaire for Junior Middle School Students" were prepared. The formal survey questionnaires were identified through exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. We use the self-made "Learning Emotional Questionnaire for Junior Middle School Students " and " Impact Factors of Learning Emotion Questionnaire for Junior Middle School Students " to investigate and analysis 720 Junior middle school students. From the research and the relevant analysis on learning emotion and the factors affecting learning emotion, it showed us :1.

They were of high reliability and fair validity. They can be used as assessment tool for the junior middle school students learning emotion and impact factors of learning emotion.3. The dimension and total scores in the students'emotional learning test showed that: the feelings in the overall and various dimensions test of learning are in a good level. The scores of girls in learning emotion, feeling in learning interest, feeling of learning self-control and feeling of learning achievement are higher than that of the score on the boys (P<0.05); The dimension and total scores of Junior middle school students in grade 1 was significantly higher than that of Junior middle school students in grade 2 and 3 (P<0.05); Achievement test of students who had good learning achievement had the higher score than that of poor academic performance in various learning emotional dimensions (P<0.05).4.
