Background:
- Reading comprehension is crucial for academic success.
- Psychoemotional factors like motivation and emotions significantly influence learning.
- Understanding distinct student profiles aids targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate psychoemotional profiles related to reading comprehension in third graders.
- To compare these profiles across typically developing students, students with learning disabilities, and students with developmental language disorder.
- To explore the role of academic emotions and reading motivation in profile differentiation.
Main Methods:
- A person-centered approach using hierarchical and k-means cluster analysis.
- Examined academic emotions, reading motivation, and reading comprehension performance.
- Sample: 83 third-grade students in Greece.
Main Results:
- Two psychoemotional profiles were identified in all student groups.
- Typically developing and learning disability groups showed profile differences in emotions/motivation, not comprehension.
- Developmental language disorder group profiles differed in comprehension, with one showing lower comprehension, higher negative emotions, and higher motivation.
Conclusions:
- Psychoemotional experiences in reading are heterogeneous.
- The impact of reading comprehension on profile differentiation varies by developmental group.
- Educational interventions should address both cognitive and psychoemotional aspects of reading, especially for students with developmental language disorder.
