Person-Centered Methodologies and Motivation Research: What Does It Add and Where Is It Going?

Mon, April 11, 11:45am to 1:15pm, Convention Center, Floor: Level Two, Room 209 A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The objective of this symposium is to demonstrate the value of person-centered approaches to motivation research. Participating researchers will employ a variety of person-centered analyses (i.e., cluster analysis, latent profile analysis, latent growth modeling) to address questions regarding the prevalence and adaptive nature of students’ motivational profiles. In particular, the papers focus on the contributions of person-centered motivation analyses above and beyond or in conjunction with variable-centered findings in the same sample. To demonstrate the potential of a person-centered approach for furthering motivation research, the studies will also explore new directions within person-centered motivation research such as domain-related differences and motivational change.
