The present study analyzes modalities and effects of emotional management in the case of the students studying to become teachers. Emotions have a very important role in the learning activity and they are difficult to rebalance or regulate, being inherent, no matter if they are positive or negative. We are pleading for the fact that a better awareness of constructive emotions, of those reactions that can mobilize young people, but also of emotional manifestations with a disorganizing role, as well as the application of control techniques are ways to achieve a state of pleasure in learning, to capitalize on intrinsic resources at key moments in academic life, such as exams. At the level of higher education, it is possible to know and remove emotional difficulties, manage aversions, resolve conflicts, productively capitalize on one's own affectivity, in a pleasant, interactive climate.
