Use Cases

• Modeling longitudinal relationships among motivational constructs based on cross-lagged panel modeling.
• Investigating predictive effects of mastery goals on subsequent task values like interest and utility.
• Analyzing reciprocal relations between performance-approach and performance-avoidance goals.
• Testing temporal ordering hypotheses between expectancy-value components and achievement goals.

Strengths

• Includes data from 331 participants, providing a sample for statistical analysis.
• Uses validated questionnaires for constructs like expectancy, task value, and achievement goals.
• Features a two-wave longitudinal design over a 1-month period.
• Analysis employs full information maximum likelihood estimation for cross-lagged panel modeling.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a sample of Japanese students.
