However, little is known about the heterogeneity in trajectories of educational aspirations throughout adolescence, as well as their potential antecedents and impacts. Using data from a 5\u2010wave longitudinal study lasting for 8\u2009years of a nationally representative sample of 2553 adolescents (aged 10\u201315\u2009years at baseline survey,\n                    <jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\n                    <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u200912.45, SD\n                    <jats:sub>age<\/jats:sub>\n                    \u2009=\u20091.73; 49.7% girls) recruited from 25 provinces in China, this study investigated distinct developmental patterns of educational aspirations from Time 1 to Time 5 and tested how they were related to educational and psychological outcomes at Time 5 when the participants were 18\u201323\u2009years old. Growth mixture modeling identified three distinct trajectories of educational aspirations: low\u2010increasing (35.8%), moderate\u2010stable (55.1%), and high\u2010decreasing (9.1%). After controlling for covariates, individuals who followed the low\u2010increasing trajectory reported lower levels of actual educational attainment at Time 5 compared with the other two groups, as well as more depressive symptoms than the moderate\u2010stable trajectory group. However, the three trajectory groups did not differ significantly from one another in terms of subjective well\u2010being. Furthermore, age, gender, parental educational levels, residence, and perceived academic performance are significant predictors of distinct educational aspiration trajectories. These findings emphasize the value of considering heterogeneous developmental patterns among adolescents when examining the long\u2010term effects of educational aspirations on educational attainment and psychological well\u2010being.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jora.70087","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,13]],"date-time":"2025-10-13T04:09:53Z","timestamp":1760328593000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Aiming high, achieving more, feeling well?
