ABSTRACT
The study of emotion has received little attention in health professions education (Artino, 2013). While the role of emotions in learning can be found in the literature, little is known about how emotions influence the design, methods, execution, and dissemination of research in the field. We know that emotions are a pervasive influence on how information is perceived and processed (McConnell and Eva, 2012), yet how do we handle emotions when conducting research? Consider the example of a health professions researcher who has a novel idea and begins to explore their topic through semi-structured qualitative interviews. How do they respond to emotions that arise during an interview, where do they turn for help? Does the complexity of emotions hold us back from exploring topics that are challenging and sensitive to address? This seminar will delve into what we know about how emotions influence health professions education research and engage participants in a discussion designed to develop and refine a novel area of inquiry
