Following the introduction of the concepts of apathy, sympathy, empathy, metapathy, and their correspondence with emotioncy, the present study aimed to present the concept of transpathy, and its respective type of concern, transvolvement, as the highest level of concern about others. Additionally, it sought to investigate which types of emotions are typically experienced with different concern types, and which one is deemed as the most desirable one among students. As the first step, five different scenarios measured the emotions experienced by each type of concern (i.e., apathy, sympathy, empathy, metapathy, and transpathy). The scenarios’ validity was verified with the consolation of professionals. The data obtained from 104 participants revealed that transpathy enjoys the highest percentage of positive emotions, and subsequently, transpathic teachers are deemed as the most successful ones. However, despite being overly concerned, negative emotions were also attributed to metapathatic and transpathic teachers, reaffirming the friction previously mentioned in studies.

The present study aimed to examine the impact of multisensory learning based on the emotioncy model, namely audio-visual and discovery learning of vocabulary on EFL learners. In doing so, 60 participants were selected from Iranian English learners. To compare the vocabulary knowledge of the instructed words from both behavioral and cognitive aspects, after a two-week interval from the instruction, participants received a vocabulary knowledge test along with a newly-designed e-Stroop task. The obtained results of the two groups disclosed that the interference score in the discovery approach was higher than the one in the audio-visual group implying that the attentional bias increased with higher levels of involved senses and emotioncy. Moreover, the paired sample t-test indicated that there was a significant difference between the obtained mean scores of these two approaches. Finally, the findings of the Chi-square test revealed that discovery learning stimulates positive emotions towards the instructed words in learners.
