Interest is a psychological state characterized by an affective component of positive emotion and a cognitive component of concentration . Interests are always related to particular content . It can be triggered through adolescents’ explorations and social interactions with family, teachers, and peers. This interest can be momentary, but it might also develop into a more enduring person-object relation. Whether interest persists over time is dependent on the person’s needs and goals, other (competing) interests, and the opportunities and demands in his or her environment
