This preregistered study aimed to identify antecedents and consequences of adolescents' critical consciousness (CC) profiles with person-centered approaches based on data from 663 ethnically diverse German adolescents collected from 2017 to 2019 (M = 12.91, 50% male, 50% female). Latent profile analyses of adolescents' critical reflection and interpersonal and structural critical action intentions yielded three profiles: "uncritical," "armchair activists," and "actionists." Discrimination experiences, but not CC classroom climate, predicted a higher likelihood of being in the armchair activist or actionist profiles. The actionist profile showed better, but the armchair activist profile worse socioemotional and academic adaptation cross-sectionally and over time (vs. the other profiles). The results highlight the potential of person-centered approaches and of fostering developmentally appropriate forms of critical action among adolescents in novel contexts.
这项预先注册的研究旨在采用基于 2017 年至 2019 年从 663 名种族多样的德国青少年收集的数据的个体中心方法来确定青少年批判性意识（CC）特征的前因和后果（M = 12.91，50%为男性，50%为女性）。对青少年批判性反思和人际及结构批判性行动意向的潜在特征分析产生了三个特征：“非批判性”、“空想家”和“行动主义者”。歧视经历，但不是 CC 课堂氛围，预测更有可能处于空想家或行动主义者的特征。行动主义者特征在跨时间和随时间推移方面表现出更好的社会情感和学业适应（与其他特征相比），但空想家特征表现更差。结果强调了个体中心方法的潜力，以及在新环境中培养青少年发展适当形式的批判性行动的潜力。
