3️⃣ Finally, we were interested in feedback loops. Do career aspirations themselves affect future motivational beliefs?

➡️We show effects from reading-related career aspirations to German self-concept and from math-related career aspirations to math motivation, but no robust cross-domain effects.

2️⃣ How do associations to domain-specific self-concept and intrinsic motivation change over time?

➡️ We find stronger associations between intrinsic motivation and reading-related career aspirations at 16 compared to age 13, supporting an intensification of domain-specific associations.

➡️ Additionally, we find increasing stability of math- and reading-related career aspirations over time.

Based on expectancy-value and dimensional comparison theory we look into three questions:

1️⃣ How do math- and reading related career aspiration develop?

➡️ We show slight increases and identify students' domain-specific self-concept, interest, and achievement as predictors of initial levels.

Nice! Congratulations 🥳🥳🥳

In general, it might already help to include files for data processing in #OpenMaterial, particularly when working with secondary data.
Writing / revising code in such a way that it is understandable to others can already reveal possible errors.

I can only recommended anyone working with R (or any other statistics program) to utilize code review, e.g. among co-authors - four eyes are always better to discover blind spots or errors 👀👀
