Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? Latent profile analysis of five indicators (racial centrality, public regard, math attainment value, math mastery experiences, resistance motivation) yields a three-profile solution with optimal fit at both time points. → Melody Wilson & Jamaal Sharif Matthews 2024

q2 · i? · associational · r2
Longitudinal latent profile analysis of survey data from Black adolescents in five secondary schools, measured at two time points one year apart, in which "a three- profile solution had optimal fit across T1 and T2". Profiles were labeled Mathematics Devalued/Ambivalent, Moderately Math Attained, and Resistors.
"In reference to ourfirst research question regarding the nature and type of negotiation profiles among Black American adolescents, a three- profile solution had optimal fit across T1 and T2"
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Cultural and critical mathematics instruction predicts membership in the Moderately Attained profile (significant at T2) and shows non-significant positive association with the Resistor profile — related
- The Devalued/Ambivalent profile is significantly overrepresented in academically selective magnet schools, and Resistors are underrepresented there — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Being female is associated with higher odds of membership in the positively oriented profiles — related
- Higher negative math emotions are associated with lower odds of membership in the positively oriented profiles — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Five cross-domain motivational profiles emerge among ninth-graders in both semesters: Adjusted, Highly motivated, Unattached, Math-motivated, and Language-motivated — related
- Five distinct emotion regulation profiles emerge among teachers, three common to both measurement bursts and two unique to one burst — related
- Latent profile analysis of 2015 PISA data identifies four collaborative problem-solver profiles among Chinese 15-year-old students — related
- Interest profiles combine homogeneous and heterogeneous patterns across the six dimensions — related
- Four distinct action-control belief profiles (agentic, moderate, avoidant, and mixed) emerge among Finnish ninth graders — related
- No cross-lag effects were observed between racial discrimination and racial centrality over three years — related
- Latent profile analyses of interest dimensions best support two nearly identical sets of six profiles at both time points — related
- Adolescents' math and L1 self-concept and interest development across Grades 7–9 is best described by a single homogeneous trajectory profile — related
- Instructors' strategies and beliefs were associated with the organization and trajectory in which they worked — related
