摘要: Although interest has been repeatedly identified as a powerful basis for learning and academic achievement, limited empirical work looked at the structural composition, persistence, stability, development of interests over time. Such is necessary to support developmental models empirically. Using 6 dimensions in literature underlying (time, value, agency, frequency, intensity, mastery), 7,226 204 Dutch high school students were explored by examining structure these To measure students’ multiple their across contexts time, we used experience-sampling methodology through smartphone application 2 time points, 3 months apart. cross-sectional latent profile analyses, found that data best supported nearly identical sets profiles both points. These profiles, consisting homogeneous (i.e., similar scores on all dimensions) heterogeneous characterized interactions patterns dimensions, then investigated longitudinally evaluate them within theory. The structures transitions between largely align with common descriptions development. However, discrepancies hinting novel separate trajectory found, requiring further investigation.
