This study examined adolescents' engagement profiles and their association with situational engagement and academic performance in lower secondary school settings. The data consisted of 301 Grade 7 students from Finland. By utilizing person-oriented approach with Latent Profiling Analysis on subscales capturing students' overall engagement, four subgroups of students with different overall engagement profiles were identified. These profile groups were further analyzed with respect to differences in student background (gender and maternal education), academic performance (GPA, and reading and mathematics tests), and lesson-specific situational engagement. The profile groups showed differences with respect to gender, maternal education, and GPAs as well as situational engagement. The findings provided new insights into the associations between overall and situational engagement by documenting concordance but also disconcordance between them, and by showing situational fluctuation of engagement in particular among students with high overall engagement.

这项研究检查了青少年的参与情况，以及他们与初中情境参与和学习成绩的关系。数据由来自芬兰的301名7年级学生组成。通过使用以人为特征的方法和潜伏性分析在捕获学生总体参与度的子量表上，确定了具有不同总体参与度的四个学生亚组。根据学生背景（性别和母性教育），学习成绩（GPA，阅读和数学测试）以及特定于课程的情境参与方面的差异，对这些个人资料进行了进一步分析。概况小组显示出在性别，产妇教育，GPA和情境参与方面的差异。
