Analysis code belonging to manuscript "Temporal Stability of Need Satisfaction and Frustration Profiles and their Association with Motivational Functioning"

Analysis code belonging to the manuscript "Temporal Stability of Need Satisfaction and Frustration Profiles and their Association with Motivational Functioning"<br>The current study aimed to identify subpopulations of students with different combinations of need satisfaction and frustration, and assessed the extent to which such combinations (i.e., students’ individual profiles) remained stable over the course of about two months. We also examined how these profiles were associated with students’ autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, and amotivation. The following research questions guided the present study:1: Which subpopulations of students, characterized by different combinations of need-based experiences, exist in the present sample, taking into account the global and specific levels of their need-based experiences?2: To what extent is the pattern of subpopulations of students, and students’ individual membership in specific profiles, stable over time?3: How is membership to a specific profile associated with students’ autonomous motivation, controlled motivation, and amotivation?<br>Longitudinal design, bifactor ESEM, quantitative data (questionnaire data/ self-reports)
