This study measured teacher\u2013student relationship, academic motivation, and academic emotions through several self-reported questionnaires. Structural equation models were used to analyze data and investigate the direct and indirect influence of teacher\u2013student relationship on Chinese high school students' academic motivation for the ideological and political subject.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Teacher\u2013student relationship had a significant, positive, and direct impact on Chinese high school students' academic motivation for the ideological and political subject. Moreover, positive and negative academic emotions, in parallel, mediated the relationship between these two factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study demonstrates the important influence of teacher\u2013student relationships on Chinese high school students' academic motivation for the ideological and political subject. A positive teacher\u2013student relationship can directly increase students' academic motivation for this subject and indirectly enhance their motivation by generating positive academic emotions. Therefore, teachers should express care for their students, make friends with them, and be their partners in learning and life. Additionally, teachers need to pay close attention to students' academic emotions and provide them emotional support so that they can develop positive academic emotions while learning, and strive to establish and maintain a good teacher\u2013student relationship.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyg.2023.1329439","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]],"date-time":"2024-01-08T05:03:28Z","timestamp":1704690208000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["The influence of teacher\u2013student relationship on Chinese high school students' academic motivation for the ideological and political subject: the mediating role of academic emotions"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yufeng","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guohai","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhendong","family":"Yao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"433","DOI":"10.1016\/j.learninstruc.2005.07.011","article-title":"Students, tasks and emotions: Identifying the contribution of emotions to students' reading of popular culture and popular science texts","volume":"15","author":"Ainley","year":"2005","journal-title":"Lear.
