Abstract: Young female English teachers in independent college have dealt with a range of emotions over their research careers, which have influenced their research cognition and professional growth. This narrative case study purposefully selected two young female English instructors in an independent university as participants. Semi-structured interviews, narrative frames, and log records were used to look into their dynamic emotional experiences in research, ecological and environmental elements affecting their emotions, and the regulating strategies. This study gives the following three primary results: the participants transitioned from positive to negative to mostly positive emotions; there was a complicate combination of positive and negative emotions in their research growth with the positive emotions dominating; two kinds of regulating tactics are presented.
