Is psychological membership in the classroom a function of standing out while fitting in? Implications for achievement motivation and emotions
This study proposes that “standing out” is also helpful for producing these outcomes, and that standing out works in concert with perceptions of fitting in. In a sample of 702 high school students nested within 33 classrooms, principal components analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were each conducted on half of the sample. Results support the proposed structure of measures of standing out and fitting in. Multilevel latent profile analysis was then used to classify students into four profiles of standing out while fitting in (SOFI): Unfulfilled, Somewhat Fulfilled, Nearly Fulfilled, and Fulfilled. A multinomial l...

A two-step sampling weight approach to growth mixture modeling for emergent and developing skills with distributional changes over time
Publication date: April 2017 Source:Journal of School Psychology, Volume 61 Author(s): Joseph F.T. Nese, Akihito Kamata, Gerald Tindal Emergent reading skills are crucial to the development of fluency and comprehension, and as such, assessing kindergarten entry skills is critical to inform educational decisions. However, skills that are assessed too early are likely to yield many zero scores, as most students do not yet have the experience or ability to perform the task. Although these floor effects typically lessen across time to show near-normal distributions, growth models cannot accommodate repeated measures with ...
