Job resources and flow at work: Modelling the relationship via latent growth curve and mixture model methodology (2010, result): “…results on the work motivation process are largely based on traditional variableoriented research, where the underlying implication is that changes over time follow a general trend, and that the associations among variables are similar to all persons in the study population (Laursen & Hoff, 2006).”
Children with Different Levels of Hope: Are There Differences in Their Self-esteem, Life Satisfaction, Social Support, and Family Cohesion? (2011, methodology): “Person-centered approaches are used to identify categories of individuals who share specific characteristics or relations among characteristics (e.g., Laursen and Hoff 2006 ).”
Longitudinal Relations Among Self-Concept, Intrinsic Value, and Attainment Value Across Secondary School Years in Three Academic Domains (2019, positive): “Alternatively, future research might benefit from person-centered approaches (Laursen & Hoff, 2006; Rosenzweig & Wigfield, 2017).”
Understanding psychology's resistance to intersectionality theory using a framework of epistemic exclusion and invisibility (2020, positive): “Instead, person-centered approaches (e.g., cluster analysis and profile analysis; Laursen & Hoff, 2006) that examine similarities and differences within groups of individuals better align with the basic tenets of intersectionality (Moradi & Grzanka, 2017).”
Introduction: The Person-oriented approach: Roots and roads to the future (2015, background): “The reader is referred to Laursen & Hoff (2006) for an overview of issues involved in the choice between a person-oriented and variable-oriented approach, and how findings from the different approaches, based on the same data set, can be compared.”
Profiles of Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivations in Elementary School: A Longitudinal Analysis (2014, background): “Person-centered approaches focus on the constellation of and dynamic interplay among theoretically related variables at the level of the individual (Bergman & Trost, 2006; Laursen & Hoff, 2006; Magnusson, 2003).”
The person-oriented approach: A short theoretical and practical guide (2014, methodology): “A comparison of person-oriented and variable-oriented approaches is given by Laursen & Hoff (2006).”
“To work, or not to work, that is the question” – Recent trends and avenues for research on presenteeism (2020, methodology): “Therefore, we propose that research with a broader and more complete understanding of the process and pattern of human development (Laursen & Hoff, 2006) is especially beneficial and needed for understanding presenteeism.”
The longitudinal development of employee well-being: a systematic review (2016, methodology): “…where the focus is on the mean values of variables, or their relative differences, at the group level (Bergman, Magnusson, & El-Khouri, 2003; Laursen & Hoff, 2006), and the person-oriented approach, in which individuals are taken as the unit of measurement, such as when investigating…”
A Gendered Approach to Adolescent Dating Violence: Conceptual and Methodological Issues (2009, background): “…calls for longitudinal research that is both person centered (between-group comparisons, such as profile analysis, class analysis, and ANOVA) and variable centered (within person analyses, such as correlations, regression, structural equation modeling, growth curve modeling; Laursen & Hoff, 2006).”
Teachers' beliefs about social-emotional learning: Identifying teacher profiles and their relations with job stress and satisfaction (2015, background): “Person-centered approaches identify groups of participants based on their responses to particular variables (Laursen & Hoff, 2006).”
Profiles of Helicopter Parenting, Parental Warmth, and Psychological Control During Emerging Adulthood (2019, neutral): “In other words, variable-centered approaches (such as regression analysis) focus on associations between variables and consider associations that are similar in all group members (Laursen & Hoff, 2006).”
