Abstract

This study explored the dynamics of motivational development across late elementary and early middle school. Using longitudinal data from a cross-section of fifth to seventh-grade students, analyses examined whether parents’ and teachers’ warm involvement shows unique and/or mediated effects on students’ academic engagement and whether engagement feeds back into adults’ continued involvement. Parent and teacher involvement each predicted changes in adolescents’ engagement; parental involvement also played an indirect role via student–teacher relationships; and students who were more engaged reported that adults responded with increasing levels of involvement. These models provide support for a reciprocal dynamic that could lead to virtuous cycles increasing in both involvement and engagement or to vicious cycles amplifying disaffection and withdrawal of involvement over time. Future studies, using time series or observational data, could further unpack these dynamics, examining processes of transmission, mediators, and effects on the longer-term development of academic engagement.

家长和教师的参与与青少年的学业参与：独特效应、中介效应和交易效应

本研究探讨了小学后期和初中初期的动机发展动态。利用五年级至七年级学生的纵向数据，分析了家长和教师的热情参与是否对学生的学业参与产生了独特和/或中介效应，以及参与是否会反馈到成人的持续参与中。家长和教师的参与分别预测了青少年参与度的变化；家长的参与还通过师生关系发挥了间接作用；参与度较高的学生报告说，成人的参与度也在不断提高。这些模型为互惠动态提供了支持，这种互惠动态可能会导致参与度和投入度双双提高的良性循环，也可能会导致随着时间的推移放大不满情绪和退出参与的恶性循环。未来的研究可以利用时间序列或观察数据，进一步解读这些动态，研究学业参与的传播过程、中介因素以及对学业参与长期发展的影响。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Behavioral Development is the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Behavioural Development, which exists to promote the discovery, dissemination and application of knowledge about developmental processes at all stages of the life span - infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age. The Journal is already the leading international outlet devoted to reporting interdisciplinary research on behavioural development, and has now, in response to the rapidly developing fields of behavioural genetics, neuroscience and developmental psychopathology, expanded its scope to these and other related new domains of scholarship. In this way, it provides a truly world-wide platform for researchers which can facilitate a greater integrated lifespan perspective. In addition to original empirical research, the Journal also publishes theoretical and review papers, methodological papers, and other work of scientific interest that represents a significant advance in the understanding of any aspect of behavioural development. The Journal also publishes papers on behaviour development research within or across particular geographical regions. Papers are therefore considered from a wide range of disciplines, covering all aspects of the lifespan. Articles on topics of eminent current interest, such as research on the later life phases, biological processes in behaviour development, cross-national, and cross-cultural issues, and interdisciplinary research in general, are particularly welcome.
