q2 i? When variables related to control and value were added to the model, the effects of both student- and class-level achievement on enjoyment were substantially reduced. → Basarkod 2023

Supplementary analysis (Section 5, Table S8) described as a quick test of the control-value theory proposition; the article reports the reduction but prints no coefficients in the main text.

"Indeed, in a quick test of the CVT proposition, we found that when we included variables related to control and value into our model, the effects of both student- and class-level achievement on enjoyment were substantially reduced"

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Achievement Emotions — outcome: instruction changes it

• In the HghLBO profile, boredom and enjoyment lose nearly all predictive power for persistence, though they predict persistence in full-sample and multigroup analyses — related
• Climate-emotion associations and the enjoyment-participation indirect effect hold when controlling for topic emotions and discussion frequency, but some emotion-outcome paths do not — related
• The high-boredom (HghLBO) profile deviates from the linear control–emotion trend, showing elevated boredom and reduced enjoyment relative to its academic-control level — related
• Latent profile analysis of four learning-related achievement emotions yields a five-class solution: four academic-control gradient profiles plus a distinct high-boredom profile — related
• Nonlinear CVT extensions show cubic control terms with negative coefficients for negative emotions in the full sample, but the coefficient's sign differs across latent profiles — related
• Class-average achievement negatively predicts student enjoyment across math, science, and reading (the Happy-Fish-Little-Pond Effect), with the reading effect trivially small — related
