Latent profile analysis in Mplus of three momentary engagement indicators (self-reported emotion and cognition; observed on-task behavior) from 196 adolescents doing the same ten-minute literacy task. "A total of 196 cases were classified into the seven profiles", with the engaged profile comprising 28% of the sample.

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Classmate cognitive engagement, but not classmate behavioral or emotional engagement, predicts individual momentary engagement profile membership — related
• Internally divergent momentary engagement profiles occur within a single task, with students attentive yet emotionally and cognitively disengaged — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
• Female gender and Irish ethnicity predict membership of less positively engaged momentary profiles relative to the engaged profile — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
