Abstract

ABSTRACT Reading motivation may help explain some discrepancies in higher education attainment among Latinx adolescents. Using a person-centered approach to understand underlying reading motivation profiles among N = 254 Latinx adolescents, results identified four ordered classes of reading motivation including, (a) a “High” class characterized by high motivation across dimensions, (b) a “High-Practical” class characterized by moderate to high levels of motivation with particular emphasis on practical reasons for reading, (c) an “Apathetic” class with moderate to low motivation across dimensions, and (d) a “Low” class who consistently endorsed low levels of motivation across dimensions. Results also showed reading motivation class membership was significantly associated with demographic covariates (e.g., gender and parent education) and higher education aspirations, consistent with previous research. Practical implications are also discussed.

拉丁裔青少年的阅读动机概况及其与高等教育愿望的关系

摘要：阅读动机可能有助于解释拉丁裔青少年在高等教育程度上的一些差异。使用以人为中心的方法来了解N=254名拉丁裔青少年的潜在阅读动机档案，结果确定了四个有序的阅读动机类别，包括（a）以跨维度高动机为特征的“高”类别，（b）“高实践”班，其特点是中等到高水平的动机，特别强调阅读的实际原因；（c）“冷漠”班，各维度的动机中等到低；（d）“低”班，一贯支持各维度的低动机。结果还表明，阅读动机班级成员与人口统计学协变量（如性别和父母教育）和高等教育愿望显著相关，这与之前的研究一致。还讨论了实际意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
