7 Since we supposedly are teaching individuals, not groups of individuals, it is the function of the school within its budgetary personnel and curricular limitations to provide adequate schooling for every learner no matter how much he differs from every other learner (Crow & Crow, 1973, p. 215). 6
8 CHAPTER 1 General Introduction This chapter reviews current theories and some of the latest findings on scholastic motivation and social relationships in adolescents school context. It describes the interplay between the individual and his or her school context during the developmental phase of adolescence. One of its main contributions is to focus on interindividual differences based on the ideas of the person-oriented approach. 1.1 Introduction Psychology as a discipline strives to balance idiographic information and nomothetic observation, however as we will see, one side of this dialectic is often emphasized at the expense of the other. During the last century the idiographic goal of describing the individual as an agent with a unique life history replete with characteristics and events that set each individual apart from others, was widely substituted for the nomothetic perspective, which largely entails the search for laws that explain the generalities of objective phenomena. At least since the cognitive revolution and the emergence of the dimension-mathematicsexperiment paradigm in the last century, research in psychology has been dominated by the nomothetic variable-oriented approach, which focuses on measurement, quantification, and objective statistical methods. One reason for the pendulum swing was that the former idiographic perspective was fraught with critiques of subjectivity, weak data and measurement, and difficulties in theory testing (Bergman, & Anderson, 2010). The paradigm shift brought with it vitalization and an explosion of knowledge within the field (Bergman & Andersson, 2010) and has led to a broader acceptance of psychology as a serious discipline 7
9 within the scientific community (Ittel & Raufelder, 2008). However, the transformation of the field was not without its disadvantages: adopting a nomothetic approach does not alter the fact that individual differences are a fundamental component of psychology, however, within the framework of variable-oriented statistical analyses these differences are often treated as noise or errors (Hampson & Coleman, 1995). Consequently, interindividual differences are often considered random and thus negligible (von Eye, Bogat, & Rhodes, 2006) and intraindividual differences, based on a whole-system perspective (Bergman & Andersson, 2010), in which the individual is seen as an organized whole (Bergman & Magnusson, 1997), have been neglected to a surprising extent. Hampson and Coleman (1995) remind us that: One of the most important ways in which psychology differs from the natural sciences arises from the existence of individual differences. Two liters of hydrogen that are treated identically respond identically, but any two human beings, even identical twins, may respond quite differently to the same stimulus. This is because people differ from one another not only in appearance (that is, physically) but also in their behavior (that is, psychologically). Consequently, the study of individual differences has been a significant part of psychology since ancient times (p. X). In 2004 Molenaar implored researchers to consider interindividual differences and as such reintroduce the individual into psychological research. Today, there is a small but emerging body of research using the person-oriented approach in developmental psychology, signaling a pendulum swing back towards the idiographic perspective, in which the individual is regarded as a dynamic system of interwoven components (Bergmann & Andersson, 2010) and as an organized whole (Magnusson, 1990), functioning and developing as a totality (Bergmann & Magnusson, 1997) unique from other individuals. The current research initiative is in response to Molenaar s (2004) appeal and begins with a brief theoretical and 8
10 methodological overview of the person-oriented approach and its implications for research in educational psychology. 1.2 Person-oriented approach in educational psychology Individual differences are essential to psychology and especially to the field of educational psychology, wherein an assumption that each individual learns in the same way under the same conditions could never be true. The earliest philosophers and humanists emphasized the need to identify student interests and adapt instruction to individual needs and differences, and they wrote of the advantages of using self-comparisons rather than competitive social comparisons in evaluations of student s work and progress (Woolfolk, 2001). Crow and Crow (1973) remind us that: educational psychology describes and explains the learning experiences of an individual from birth through old age (p. 7). Furthermore, each person has an individual profile of characteristics, abilities and challenges that result from learning and their unique developmental history. These manifest as individual differences in intelligence, creativity, cognitive style, motivation, the capacity to process information, communicate, and relate to others (Woolfolk, Winne, & Perry, 2006). However, as a consequence of the dominance of variable-oriented statistical analyses, which assume equality between individuals, and a seeming reluctance on the part of researchers to employ person-oriented methods (Rosato & Bear, 2012), our knowledge about individual differences in educational psychology is limited. One could argue that individual differences are considered in the discipline of differential psychology, which aims to identify the formal laws of variability (von Eye, 2010), but a basic assumption of research in differential psychology is that everybody can be assigned a location on the scales used for comparison (von Eye & Spiel, 2010). In contrast, 9
11 person-oriented research goes a step beyond this approach by acknowledging that particular concepts exist in or only apply to particular populations or even individuals. This basic tenet of the approach allows for the use of terms that are specific to populations, age groups, locations or historical times in the formulation of person-oriented theories. Furthermore, methodologically speaking, this tenet allows for the comparison of individuals based on the possibly changing structure of behavior domains, as well as based on the existence of behavioral domains (see von Eye & Spiel, 2010), as opposed to comparing individuals solely on their location on particular scales. In other words, person-oriented research does not proceed from the assumption that the validity of concepts and variables is universal (see von Eye, 2009, 2010). Instead, one of the fundamental tenets underlying the person-oriented approach (Bergman & Magnusson, 1997; Bergman, von Eye, & Magnusson, 2006; von Eye & Bergman, 2003) and idiographic psychology (Molenaar, 2004; Molenaar & Campbell, 2009; von Eye, 2004) states that premature aggregation of data can result in conclusions that fail to do justice to the variability in populations (von Eye & Spiel, 2010). Despite this principle, theoretical and methodological discussions within the person-oriented approach continue to proceed with the implicit assumption that the scales and measures used to describe individuals are universally valid (see von Eye & Spiel, 2010). In order to better understand these persistent assumptions, the next paragraph gives a short overview of the constituent characteristics of the person-oriented approach. Characteristics of the Person-Oriented Approach Before describing the constituent characteristics of the person-oriented approach, it should be noted that over the years the term person-oriented (often used interchangeably with the terms person-centered and pattern-oriented ) has acquired many different 10
12 meanings (Bergmann & Andersson, 2010). Additionally, some researchers do not distinguish between person-oriented theory and person-oriented methodology (Sterba & Bauer, 2010) and label their approach as person-oriented or person-centered if some kind of pattern analysis has been made, even within a variable-oriented framework (Bergman & Andersson, 2010). However, not every statistical analysis, which focuses the individual, is automatically person-oriented. Bergman and Andersson (2010) underline: To a reasonable extent, the integrity of the system under study must also be retained (p. 162). Due to the fact that to date there is no agreed upon single definition of a person-centered approach, this article summarizes the most common current perspectives on theory as well as methodology developed over the past thirty years and influenced heavily by the works of Bergman and Magnusson (Magnusson, 1988; Magnusson & Törestad, 1993; Bergman & Magnusson, 1997; Bergman, von Eye, & Magnusson, 2006). The original six tenets (theoretical elements) of the person-oriented approach (Bergmann, 2001; Bergmann & Magnusson, 1997; von Eye & Bergmann, 2003) were adapted by Sterba and Bauer (2010) as the following person-oriented principles: (1) The individualspecificity principle holds that structure and dynamics of behavior are at least partly specific to the individual. (2) The complex-interactions principle implies the consideration of many factors and their interrelations to embrace the complexity of behavior. (3) The interindividualdifferences/intraindividual-change principle assumes a lawfulness and structure to intraindividual constancy and change as well as interindividual differences in constancy and change. (4) The pattern-summary principle follows the idea that processes develop in a lawful way and can be described as patterns of involved factors. (5) The holism-principle states that the meaning of the involved factors results from the interactions between these factors. (6) Finally, the pattern-parsimony principle asserts that the number of different patterns is 11
13 infinite, but that some patterns occur more frequently than others. Von Eye (2010) postulates a reformulation of this last principle into expectancies, such as expected numbers of patterns should be specified, based on a number of arguments or model assumptions. The advantage of this approach is to test hypotheses concerning the observed frequencies of these events, which at the same time lightens the emphasis on predominantly descriptive statements (see Bergmann, Magnusson, & El-Khouri, 2003). In order to develop the environmental components of person-oriented research Bogat (2009) proposes two additional tenets: (a) the structure and dynamics of individual behavior are, at least in part, specific to the environment in which the individual lives and work as well as (b) validity is specific to individuals and environments (Bogat, 2009, p. 32). The central question, which arises from these theoretical principles and approaches, is how to transform them into analytical methods. Sterba and Bauer (2010) discussed which of these person-oriented principles could be tested via four types of latent variable analyses for longitudinal data in developmental psychology: (1) Less-restrictive variable-oriented methods (e.g., latent growth curve model), (2) classification methods (e.g., latent class growth analysis; latent Markov model), (3) hybrid classifications methods (growth mixture models), and (4) single-subject methods (e.g., dynamic factor analysis) (for details see Sterba & Bauer, 2010). Despite this classification system, there remains a degree of arbitrariness in determining whether a given principle can be tested within each analytic approach (Mun, Bates, & Vaschillo, 2010). Although Mun, Bates and Vaschillo assert that there is currently an effort to better match theoretical concepts with analytical tools (Mun, Bates, & Vaschillo, 2010), there is still much disagreement about the appropriate use of person-oriented research methods. The next section discusses three statistical analyses that are often used in person-oriented research, that adhere to the precept of reintroducing the individual into psychological research 12
14 (Molenaar, 2004) and that are also helpful in answering research questions in educational psychology. The discussion aims to shed light on some of the difficulties inherent in integrating person oriented theory and methodology. Methods of Analysis of Person-Oriented Research In general, person-oriented methods enable the researcher to identify important intraindividual and interindividual differences and thus model distinct configurations of heterogeneity within a given sample (Rosato & Baer, 2012). That means that individuals are studied on the basis of their patterns of individual characteristics specific to the research question. It should be noted that such patterns can occur at different levels (from the molecular to the global) and that a single study can only address a few patterns. Bergman and Magnusson (1997) address the role of variables within this pattern-orientation: It is sometimes objected that even the person-oriented approach is variable oriented because, for instance, in many of its applications, variables are used to construct profiles of individuals scores which are then used in the statistical analysis. However, variables included in such an analysis have no meaning in themselves. They are considered only as components of the pattern under analysis and interpreted in relation to all the other variables considered simultaneously; the relevant aspect is the profile of scores (Bergman & Magnusson, 1997, p. 293). The basic goal in person-oriented research is to group individuals into categories, with each one containing individuals who are similar to each other and different from individuals in other categories (Muthén & Muthén, 2000). Von Eye and Bogat (2006) defined three criteria for person-oriented research: (1) a sample is analyzed under the assumption that it was drawn from more than one population, (2) attempts be made to establish external validity of 13
15 subpopulations, and (3) groups be interpreted based on theory. These general criteria, as well as the methodological issues raised by Sterba and Bauer (2010), Molenaar (2010), and Mun, Bates and Vaschillo (2010) presuppose that the scales, instruments, and measures used to identify differences in individual profiles and patterns are equally meaningful in all subpopulations and for all individuals, although the person-oriented approach is generally open to the assumption that particular concepts exist in or apply to particular populations or even individuals only (von Eye & Spiel, 2010, p. 153). These criteria can be better illustrated through an example: the statement that car drivers often feel pressured by other car drivers only makes sense for car drivers, and not for non car drivers (latter assumption). In contrast, if researchers want to compare Canadian and German students on motivation, they must be sure that Canadian and German students understand motivation in the same way (presupposition of equal meaning). Von Eye further explicates this presupposition in his concept of dimensional identity (for detail see von Eye, 2010) and its implicit condition of commensurability (for detail see von Eye & Spiel, 2010). One popular analysis, which is often used in person-oriented research, and is the methodological foundation of this work, is latent class analysis (LCA) or latent profile analysis (LPA). Latent Class Analysis (LCA) & Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) Latent class analysis (LCA) and latent profile analysis (LPA) (Lazarsfeld & Henry, 1968) are conceptually related to cluster analysis. The advantages of these approaches over cluster analysis are that they are model based and as such generate probabilities for group membership. In other words, these models can be tested and their goodness of fit can be analyzed. In general, LCA and LPA are non-parametric statistical techniques based on the 14
16 assumption that patterns among a set of observed variables are explained by an unmeasured latent variable with discrete classes (Collins & Lanza, 2010; Lazarsfeld & Henry, 1968; McCutcheon, 1987). It is a multivariate method used to identify latent subpopulations of individuals based on multiple observed measures (Lubke & Muthén, 2005). The two forms of analysis use maximum likelihood estimation for the analysis of categorical (LCA) and continuous (LPA) outcomes and assume that the association between items can be explained by the existence of several latent classes. LCA and LPA examine individuals as a whole based on their patterns of observed characteristics (Bergman & Magnusson, 1997). Within one class, individuals are assumed to have identical patterns of solution probabilities. Participants can be assigned to a class for which his or her assignment probability is the highest. Integrating Person-Oriented and Variable-Oriented Analyses By integrating person-oriented and variable-oriented analyses researchers attempt to minimize the weaknesses of each approach and maximize their strengths by combining disparate but complementary assumptions (variable-oriented vs. person-oriented). In such cases Bergman (1998; cf. Spiel, 1998) proposes the following sequence of analyses (see also von Eye, 2010): (1) Identifying operating factors by using exploratory, variable-oriented analyses (Feyerabend, 1975; von Eye & Bogat, 2006); (2) Identifying possibly existing subpopulations by using exploratory, person-oriented analyses (von Eye & Bogat, 2006); (3) Testing theoretical assumptions by using confirmatory person-oriented analyses of data from independent samples and; (4) Linking theories and results from the different research strategies by using variable-oriented analyses (Feyerabend, 1975; Molenaar & Campbell, 2009). The advantage of these combined analyses is self-evident: While the person-oriented approach is useful in its ability to describe different experiences for different profiles of 15
17 individuals, it does not reveal associations between variables that are common to all individuals. Therefore, by combining the methods researchers gain information about the profiles of distinct groups as well as generalities across entire samples. There are other methods of analysis, which can be used in person-oriented research; some of them have yet to find a concrete application, such as comparative methods (Caramani, 2009) or symbolic data analysis (Billard & Diday, 2006), but others have been used extensively in the field of developmental psychology such as latent growth curve modeling (LGM), latent class growth analysis (LCGA), and latent Markov model (e.g., Sterba & Bauer, 2010; Bergman & Magnusson, 1997). An interesting area for future discussion would be the degree to which multilevel analyses in educational psychology can be understood as person-oriented analyses within variable-oriented research, seeing as school level, class level and individual student level analyses can be conducted simultaneously. Conclusions Interindividual and intraindividual differences are at the heart of educational psychology, which as a discipline concerns itself primarily with individual learning processes. Nevertheless, research in educational psychology (as in psychology general) has been dominated by variable-oriented research for decades. Results of variable-oriented research often provide information about students, children and adolescents on average, which does not allow for the implementation of learning support on an individual level. In contrast, the person-oriented approach, which has been developed in the field of developmental psychology, explicitly addresses interindividual as well as intraindividual differences. By outlining the theoretical and methodological characteristics of the person-oriented approach, the problems associated with matching the theoretical tenets of the approach with appropriate 16
18 methods of analysis, as well as the implications of the approach for educational psychology, this introduction highlights the urgent need to integrate person-oriented theory and methodology into educational psychology research. The main goal of this work is to take steps torward satisfying this need. In sum, person-oriented research is essential to the field of educational psychology. The fact that individuals differ in abilities, capacities and personality characteristics as well as in their personal development necessitates the adoption of individual-centered perspectives in educational settings. It seems as though Crow and Crow s assertion from 1973 is still germane to current education policy: Since we supposedly are teaching individuals, not groups of individuals, it is the function of the school within its budgetary personnel and curricular limitations to provide adequate schooling for every learner no matter how much he differs from every other learner (p. 215). 1.3 Scholastic Motivation in Adolescence Motivation Theories and Concepts As psychologists we are interested in understanding, predicting, and/or influencing individual behavior. In other words, we endeavor to understand why human beings behave the way they do? Embedded within this question lies the concept of motivation, such that motivation is defined as an internal state or condition (equipollent described as physiological or psychological need, desire, or want) that serves to activate or energize behavior in order to achieve what is desired (see Kleinginna & Kleinginna, 1981). Besides needs and cognition, emotions play a key role in motivation: they can be understood as the base or drive of motivation, such that human beings are motivated to experience positive emotions and to avoid negative ones. According to Reeve (1996) motivation involves the internal processes 17
19 that give behavior its energy and direction. Motivation originates from a variety of sources (needs, cognitions and emotions) and these internal processes energize behaviour in multiple ways such as starting, sustaining, intensifying, focusing, and stopping it (p. 2). Historically, the first motivation research evolved from the work of Darwin (e.g., James, 1890; McDougall, 1923; see Cofer & Appley, 1964) and focused on the physiological or internal reasons (instincts or needs) for motivation (hunger, thirst, sexual desire, etc.). In line with these first works on motivation, Murray s (1937) classification of human needs should be mentioned, which Maslow (1965) later elaborated on by considering the interrelationships and hierarchical structure between the needs. In Murray s classification, needs are hypothetical constructs directing behavior toward certain goals, regardless of their structure and usefulness. Following these initial conceptualizations of motivation, the research perspective shifted and the question of how behavior could be externally motivated became central to the field. The paradigm shift was initiated and represented by classical proponents of learning theory (Hull, 1943; Spence, 1956), by Lewin s field theoretical approach (1926) as well as by Freud s drive theory (1930). This could be described as the first attempt to link motivation with education, based on the idea of influencing an individual s behavior by activating her/his motivation through external stimuli. One limitation of these theories was that they portrayed the human as a machine-like reactive organism compelled to act by internal and/ or external forces beyond our control (e.g., instincts, needs, drives, incentives, reinforces, etc.) (Gollwitzer & Oettingen, 2001, p ); conscious reflections and attempts towards selfregulation were beyond their scope. Later, under the influence of the humanist movement, motivation theorists (e.g., Maslow, 1954, 1965; Atkinson, 1957, 1964; McCleelland, 1955, 1961) distinguished (a) 18
20 motivation common to animals and human beings and (b) motivation unique to human beings. While the first category was mainly based on needs related to survival, the second category of motivation was based on the needs of psychological growth and fulfillment (Saha, 2006). Therefore psychological needs were no longer reduced to genetic or biological factors, but rather understood as the products of experience and not necessarily critical for survival in the sense of subsistence (Saha, 2006). Today there are many theoretical approaches and models elucidating the concept of motivation, each emphasizing different facets, i.e. personality, social cognition, developmental history, some of which are inter-related (Waugh, 2002). Most theoretical approaches in motivation research assume that motivation is involved in the performance of all learned responses (Saha, 2006). In other words, learned behavior will not occur unless it is energized, or motivated. A crucial question is whether motivation is a primary or secondary influence on behavior: do concepts unique to motivation better explain changes in behavior or principles of environmental and ecological influences, such as memory, perception, cognitive development, emotion, and personality (Huitt, 2001)? To date there is no certain answer to this question. However, it is certain that motivation is one of the most important psychological concepts within the school context. As the long tradition of motivation research has shown, motivation is related to various outcomes such as curiosity, learning, persistence and performance (e.g., Deci & Ryan, 1985), which underscores its importance for school and educational psychology. Motivation in School In school, teachers and educators want students to be motivated to learn. The sources of motivation to learn can be categorized as either extrinsic (outside the person) or intrinsic 19
21 (internal to the person). While intrinsic motivation refers to doing something because it is inherently interesting or enjoyable, extrinsic motivation refers to doing something because it leads to a separable outcome (Ryan & Deci, 2000a), such as rewards. More than four decades of research has shown that the quality of experience and performance can be very different when one is behaving for intrinsic versus extrinsic reasons. While intrinsic sources can be subcategorized as either physical (body), mental (mind) (i.e., cognitive/thinking, affective/emotional, conative/volitional) or spiritual (transpersonal), extrinsic sources are connected with operant conditioning (Huitt, 2011) (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Categorical system of explanations regarding the source(s) of motivation (Huitt, 2011) The overall goal of teachers and educators is to nurture the development of intrinsic motivation as a natural wellspring of learning and achievement. But teachers cannot always rely on intrinsic motivation to foster learning. Sometimes specific tasks or subjects are not 20
