STMS model (butterfly model) with test motivation and psychological predictors. VALUE = Subjective test value dimension of the test motivation construct. EFFOR = Effort dimension of the test motivation construct. 11, 12, 13 = grade 11, grade 12, grade 13. The state-like components overlap only at grade 11 and 12 with the test motivation’s state-like component. For this reason the association β_s13 (states at grade 13) is depicted as dashed line indicating that this association is not investigated in the present study. β_t (trait), β_s11 (states at grade 11), and β_s12 (states at grade 12) indicate the associations of interest. The correlated uniqueness approach (item/method-specific correlations over time) is indicated by vertical curved (unlabelled) arrows
