Profiles of youth’s values prior to postsecondary transitions: Associations with well-being and career decision-making
Employment and the youth mental health crisis in Canada: Distinct influences across phases of the school-to-work transition
Objectives Employment-related challenges and uncertainties are thought to contribute to the mental health crisis affecting young adults globally. Yet, few studies have examined how employment characteristics relate to young adults’ mental health. This study addresses this gap, considering how the role of employment might vary depending on young adults’ educational status and level. Methods A representative sample of 6,700 young adults (18–30 y.o.…
Tricher à l’université avant et pendant la pandémie de Covid-19
La pandémie de COVID-19 a amené une hausse des cas de tricherie dans les universités, accélérant une tendance qui avait cours depuis les dernières décennies. Bien que certaines pratiques pédagogiques, telles que le soutien à l'autonomie des personnes étudiant à l’université, soient liées à une diminution de la tricherie, il demeure difficile de déterminer comment ces associations ont évolué au cours de la pandémie. Notre étude, ancrée dans la thé…
A classification system for teachers' motivational behaviors recommended in self-determination theory interventions
Teachers' behavior is a key factor that influences students' motivation. Many theoretical models have tried to explain this influence, with one of the most thoroughly researched being self-determination theory (SDT). We used a Delphi method to create a classification of teacher behaviors consistent with SDT. This is useful because SDT-based interventions have been widely used to improve educational outcomes. However, these interventions contain m…
The role of mothers in supporting adaptation in school: A psychological needs perspective
School is where adolescents spend the largest share of their waking time. The present study focused on the factors that contribute to students’ adjustment to school from a self-determination perspective. We tested the predictive value of parental behaviors (autonomy support, structure, and involvement) on the different dimensions of school adjustment (social, academic, and personal-emotional) and the mediating role played by psychological need sa…
Trajectories of self-determined motivation during the secondary school: A growth mixture analysis
Based on an accelerated longitudinal design involving three cohorts of secondary school students followed during three consecutive school years, this study has three main objectives. First, we seek to identify different profiles of students following distinct trajectories of self-determined motivation over the secondary school years. Second, we examine whether different sources of relatedness (father, mother, teachers, peers) predict membership i…
Investigating the Dimensionality and Stability of Union Commitment Profiles over a 10-Year Period: A Latent Transition Analysis
The authors adopt a person-centered approach to the investigation of the dimensionality of the union commitment construct by capitalizing on a 10-year longitudinal study (from 1992 to 2002) of 637 union members in their first year of employment measured again 1 and 10 years later. Results reveal four distinct profiles of union commitment, presenting a stable structure over time. These profiles demonstrate consistency in commitment level across th…

Adolescents’ body image trajectories: A further test of the self-equilibrium hypothesis
The self-equilibrium hypothesis underlines the importance of having a strong core self, which is defined as a high and developmentally stable self-concept. This study tested this hypothesis in relation to body image (BI) trajectories in a sample of 1,006 adolescents (M age = 12.6, including 541 males and 465 females) across a 4-year period. The results supported the self-equilibrium hypothesis among 3 profiles of adolescents, all characterized by…
Achievement goal profiles among adolescent males and females
Achievement goal theory has long been a dominant model in the study of student motivation. However, a relatively small number of researchers have investigated gender differences in achievement goals or have considered the possible role that social and extrinsic goals may play in student academic motivation. Adopting a person-centered multiple goals perspective based on personal investment theory, this longitudinal study investigated whether males…
A longitudinal person-centered perspective on youth social support: Relations with psychological wellbeing
Past research suggests that perceived social support from parents, teachers, and peers are all positively associated with wellbeing during adolescence. However, little longitudinal research has examined the implications of distinctive combinations of social support for developing adolescents. To address this limitation, we measured multiple dimensions of social support, psychological ill-health, and wellbeing in a sample of 2034 Australian adoles…
