چکیده

Introduction Peer assessment is utilized extensively in digital learning, and many studies have examined the positive influences of online peer assessment on learning (eg, Tseng & Tsai, 2007). However, other studies indicate that this type of activity has negative influences. For example, students may question the fairness of an assessment or disagree with others’ assessments (eg, Kaufman & Schunn, 2010). These effects may lead to changes in the collective emotional state of the learning community and affect the organizational climate and pattern of interactions. Because a community’s knowledge sharing is correlated with its organizational climate (Bock, Zmud, Kim & Lee, 2005), negative comments may lead to negative emotions, especially in online discussions that incorporate peer assessment (Falchikov, 2005). The latent emotions in students’ interactions may be dynamically affected by their peers’ comments and criticism.
