Abstract

Research concerning school success and completion has grown increasingly complex with the number of proposed associated risk and needs domains. As the number of domains expands, various data analytical techniques have been employed to understand them, including the modeling of latent profiles, to better understand how risks and needs aggregate at the level of individual persons. Latent profile analysis helps identify individuals' subgroups based on salient combinations of characteristics. The present study used latent profile analysis and a systematic profile similarity approach to examine the profiles across middle and high school student cohorts. The study replicates the profiles of previous work with high school students and extends this to middle school students. We used two independent cohorts to replicate a 3-profile solution for middle and high school samples. Results supported a similar 3-profile solution for both samples, with minor discrepancies. Results are discussed with respect to the replication and extension of the 3-profile model and its application to efforts to improve outcomes for youth in both grade level cohorts.

初高中青少年风险与需求的潜在特征相似性

随着提出的相关风险和需求领域的数量增加，有关学业成功和学业完成的研究变得越来越复杂。随着领域数量的扩大，各种数据分析技术已经被用来理解它们，包括潜在概况的建模，以更好地理解风险和需求是如何在个人层面上聚集的。潜在剖面分析有助于根据显著的特征组合来确定个体的子群体。本研究采用潜在特征分析和系统特征相似性方法对初高中学生群体的特征进行了研究。这项研究复制了之前对高中生的研究，并将其扩展到中学生。我们使用两个独立的队列来复制初中和高中样本的3-profile解决方案。结果支持类似的3-profile解决方案，两个样本，有轻微的差异。结果讨论了关于复制和扩展的3轮廓模型及其应用，以努力改善结果的青年在两个年级水平的队列。
