This study identified the patterns of motivation (i.e., the motivation profiles) that reflect the interrelationships among expectancies of success, utility value beliefs, and perceptions of cost pertaining to an important school domain, namely mathematics. In addition, this research investigated similarities/differences among these profiles with regard to a set of eight motivation and communication factors that play key roles in learning environments: the motive to avoid failure, competitiveness, entity theory of intelligence, prevention orientation, general and school-related communicative self-efficacy, satisfaction in communicating with the mathematics teacher, and communication apprehension. To examine these aspects, data were collected from 463 secondary school students. Latent profile analyses were conducted to identify the motivation profiles. The results indicate that four motivation profiles provided a parsimonious representation of students’ patterns of expectancies of success, utility value, and cost related to mathematics. In addition, significant differences among profiles were found for the majority of the factors.

学习环境中的动机和沟通模式：潜在的个人资料分析

这项研究确定了动机模式（即动机配置文件），这些模式反映了与重要学校领域（即数学）有关的成功期望，效用价值信念和成本认知之间的相互关系。此外，本研究针对在学习环境中起关键作用的八个动机和沟通因素的集合，研究了这些配置文件之间的相似性/差异：避免失败的动机，竞争力，智能实体理论，预防导向，一般和学校相关的沟通自我效能，与数学老师沟通的满意度以及沟通忧虑。为了检查这些方面，从463名中学生中收集了数据。进行潜在特征分析以识别动机特征。结果表明，四个动机概况提供了学生对数学，数学，数学，数学，数学，数学，数学，数学的成功期望值，效用价值和成本的简约表示。此外，对于大多数因素，在配置文件之间发现显着差异。
