摘要：Little has been studied the relationship between affect and school problems related with attendance. This study aims to identify different affective profiles and to determine whether these profiles differ from each other based on the four functional conditions of school refusal behavior. Participants were 1816 Spanish adolescents aged 15-18 years (M = 16.39; SD = 1.05). The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-Children-Short Form and the School Refusal Assessment Scale-Revised-for Children (SRAS-R-C) were administered. Latent profile analysis revealed five affective profiles: Low Affective Profile, Self-Fulfilling Profile, Low Positive Affect Profile, Self-Destructive Profile and High Affective Profile. The Self-Destructive Profile revealed the highest average scores in the first three factors of the SRAS-R-C, whereas the High Affectivity Profile reached the highest average score in the fourth factor. On the contrary, the Self-fulfilling Profile obtained the lowest average scores in the first two factors of the SRAS-R-C, whereas the Low Affectivity Profile revealed the lowest average scores in the last two factors. Findings suggest the relevance of developing more adaptative affective profiles, such as the self-fulfilling profile, which would contribute to diminishing school attendance problems.
