Subclaims¶

q2 i? For close-to-average peer relatedness, adolescents with higher peer than teacher relatedness tended to experience higher school engagement. → Núñez-Regueiro 2024 q2 i? Beyond the relative maximum on the line of incongruence, reporting more peer than teacher relatedness was associated with lower engagement. → Núñez-Regueiro 2024 (2)

Evidence¶

Núñez-Regueiro, F., & Wang, M.-T. (2024). Adolescent Well-Being and School Engagement as a Function of Teacher and Peer Relatedness: The More (Relatedness) Is Not Always the Merrier. Journal of Educational Psychology, 117(3), 466-484. https://hal.science/hal-04920252v1

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Study 1 cubic response surface analysis of school engagement in 643 high school students; the best-fitting asymmetric congruence model showed a rising trend on the LOIC, where "adolescents experiencing higher levels of peer relatedness than teacher relatedness tended to experience higher levels of school engagement".

"for close-to-average values of peer relatedness, adolescents experiencing higher levels of peer relatedness than teacher relatedness tended to experience higher levels of school engagement"

Núñez-Regueiro 2024 (2)¶

q2 · i? · associational · r2

Same Study 1 engagement surface: past the relative maximum on the LOIC (an excess of about 1.2 SD in peer relatedness, as printed in the results), the trend reversed, so "reporting more peer than teacher relatedness was associated with lower levels of school engagement".

"reporting more peer than teacher relatedness was associated with lower levels of school engagement (Figure 4, A3)."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Belonging — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes

Related Claims¶

• Adolescent well-being is higher when peer and teacher relatedness are equally high, and unequal relatedness levels are associated with lower well-being (interdependent needs process, Study 1) — related
• Engagement rises with equivalent peer and teacher relatedness, but this positive trend weakens and reverses below a printed threshold on the line of congruence (Study 1) — related
• At large peer-teacher relatedness discrepancies, high teacher relatedness compensates for absent peer relatedness to support engagement, whereas low teacher relatedness accompanies low engagement (Study 1) — related
