The assessment of school engagement: examining dimensionality and measurement invariance by gender and race/ethnicity.

TLDR
It is concluded that school engagement was a multidimensional construct, with evidence to support the hypothesized second-order engagement factor structure with behavioral, emotional, and cognitive dimensions, using large-scale representative data on 1103 students in middle school.

Social Support Matters: Longitudinal Effects of Social Support on Three Dimensions of School Engagement From Middle to High School

TL;DR: This study examined the relative influence of adolescents' supportive relationships with teachers, peers, and parents on trajectories of different dimensions of school engagement from middle to high school and how these associations differed by gender and race or ethnicity.

School context, achievement motivation, and academic engagement: A longitudinal study of school engagement using a multidimensional perspective

TL;DR: In this paper, a longitudinal study adopts a multidimensional perspective to examine the relationships between middle school students' perceptions of the school environment (structure support, provision of choice, teaching for relevance, teacher and peer emotional support), achievement motivation (academic selfconcept and subjective task value), and school engagement (behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement).

The reciprocal links between school engagement, youth problem behaviors, and school dropout during adolescence

TL;DR: Results indicated that adolescents who had declines in behavioral and emotional engagement with school tended to have increased delinquency and substance use over time and higher likelihood of dropping out of school.

Adolescent Behavioral, Emotional, and Cognitive Engagement Trajectories in School and Their Differential Relations to Educational Success.

TL;DR: This article used a multidimensional approach to examine developmental trajectories of three dimensions of school engagement (school participation, sense of school belonging, and self-regulated learning) from grades 7 to 11 and their relationships to changes in adolescents' academic outcomes over time.

Cutoff criteria for fit indexes in covariance structure analysis : Conventional criteria versus new alternatives

TL;DR: In this article, the adequacy of the conventional cutoff criteria and several new alternatives for various fit indexes used to evaluate model fit in practice were examined, and the results suggest that, for the ML method, a cutoff value close to.95 for TLI, BL89, CFI, RNI, and G...

Structural equation modeling in practice: a review and recommended two-step approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development, and present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models

TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

On the evaluation of structural equation models

TL;DR: In this article, structural equation models with latent variables are defined, critiqued, and illustrated, and an overall program for model evaluation is proposed based upon an interpretation of converging and diverging evidence.
