The Affective Domains in L2 Writing Research in Terms of Causality and Correlation: A Scoping Review

Abstract

This scoping review aimed at reviewing the research into the affective issues in L2 writing in terms of causality and correlation and to find out any gaps for further studies. Scoping reviews are recognized as useful studies for meta-analyses since they display value and inadequacy in a research theme. Results showed that relevant research focused on writing anxiety and tended to ignore other affective variables The studies often used quantitative research designs. Causal and correlational research supports that affective constraints negatively affect writing achievement. Correlational studies concluded that there is a negative correlation between the impact of these affective variables, writing performance and process. The need of piloting, different and larger participant groups was also highlighted.
