Multinomial logistic regression (R3STEP) examined the effect of support level on profile membership in the national sample of 6,942 ninth graders. The article reports SEN students "were more likely to belong to pro files demonstrat- ing more maladaptive motivational patterns."
"Although SEN students were depicted in all motivational pro files, they were more likely to belong to pro files demonstrat- ing more maladaptive motivational patterns, less time on task, and lower cognitive task achievement."
