Introduction
I am interested in adolescents' identity development and the motivational processes and contents behind. Using the self-determination theory (SDT), I focus on parents and teachers as immediate social contexts for adolescent development. In my work, I mostly use the structural equation modeling (SEM) framework to analyze longitudinal datasets. I hope to be a researcher who contributes to creating an environment where youth can grow into a flourishing individual and member of society.

Article
Full-text available
The transition into post-secondary education or employment presents significant challenges for youth with high-incidence disabilities affecting learning, most commonly learning disabilities and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. To date, few longitudinal studies investigate this transition in youth with learning-related disorders specificall...
Article
Full-text available
Despite the well-documented developmental benefits and costs of autonomy-supportive and controlling parenting, little is known about the extent to which parents engage in both types of parenting in real life and its implications for child functioning. This study aimed to examine how combinations of these two seemingly opposite parenting dimensions...
Article
Full-text available
Although celebrated for supporting well-being, social relationships can also bring conflict and stress. Despite extensive focus on their bright side—social support—less attention is paid to their dark side—social strain—especially among socioeconomically disadvantaged young adults in high-stress conditions. This study examined how support and strai...
Article
Full-text available
Self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2017) has highlighted the differential roles that intrinsic life goals (for personal growth, close relationships, community connections, and physical health) and extrinsic life goals (i.e., for wealth, image, and status) play in supporting well-being. Less is known about how orientations toward these two type...
Article
Full-text available
L’objectif de cette étude est de présenter les propriétés psychométriques de la version française de l’Ontario Child Health Study Emotional Behavioural Scales (OCHS-EBS), évaluée par les parents. Plus précisément, nous cherchons à évaluer sa structure factorielle à l’aide d’analyses factorielles confirmatoires, à tester son invariance entre les gro...
Article
Full-text available
“Diseases of despair,” most prominently depressive and substance-related problems, diminish the prospects of many young adults, especially those with lower levels of education. Yet many young adults in that situation avoid these problems. Close relationships are thought to be a key factor underpinning risk and resilience among this group. To examin...
Chapter
Teaching is global, so the purpose of this chapter is to provide an international perspective on classroom instruction. In the first part, the authors summarize findings from two international investigations (conducted by others). The first is a video observational study involving eight nations reporting their typical teaching practices in terms of...
Article
Full-text available
Parents are central figures in youth’s career decision-making processes. One of their key roles is to foster youth’s career decision-making agency by supporting their motivational resources—of autonomy and competence. While the findings on parent-driven effects (how parenting behaviors predict youth’s agency) are well documented, little is known ab...
Article
In this study, we seek to identify different profiles of children following distinct developmental trajectories of academic self-concept. Moreover, we look at their developmental outcomes regarding school achievement and educational attainment. This study relied on an accelerated longitudinal design that followed three cohorts of elementary school...
Article
According to self-determination theory, intrinsic values foster personal and societal wellness, while extrinsic values detract from them. This study examined the developmental change/stability in intrinsic and extrinsic values from early to mid- and late adolescence and how these values relate to family SES. Three aspects of change/stability were e...
Article
Full-text available
The purpose of the study was to examine longitudinally how intrinsic and extrinsic values develop during pread-olescence within a mother-child context by comparing three different developmental pathways-direct value transmission , indirect value transmission, and value origination. Two hundred and thirty-three Korean mother-child dyads of late elem...
Article
Full-text available
Grounded in self-determination theory, this study aimed to (a) identify profiles of parental autonomy support and control and (b) examine how these profiles predict indicators of adolescents' career development (i.e., autonomy and competence in career exploration and indecision). To this end, we used three annual waves of data covering the postseco...
Article
Correlational and longitudinal research suggests that agentically-engaged students experience multiple educational benefits. Recognizing this, two experiments tested the causal capacity of manipulated agentic engagement to create three categories of benefits: a supportive learning environment; motivational satisfactions; and effective functioning (...
