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)

本研究配套手稿《需求满足与挫败感构型的时序稳定性及其与动机功能的关联》所附的分析代码。
本研究旨在识别具有不同需求满足与挫败感组合模式的学生亚群体，并评估此类组合（即学生个体构型）在约两个月的周期内的稳定性；同时考察这些构型与学生的自主型动机、控制型动机及无动机之间的关联关系。本研究由以下三个研究问题导向：1. 结合学生基于需求的体验的整体与特定水平，本研究样本中存在哪些以不同需求相关体验组合为特征的学生亚群体？2. 学生亚群体的分布模式以及个体所属特定构型的归属情况，在时间维度上的稳定性程度如何？3. 归属某一特定构型与学生的自主型动机、控制型动机及无动机之间存在何种关联？
本研究采用纵向设计，运用双因素探索性结构方程模型（bifactor ESEM），分析数据为量化数据（问卷数据/自我报告数据）
