Feedback-seeking behaviors (FSB), namely, attending to written comments (feedback monitoring) and requesting clarification or additional feedback (feedback inquiry), are central to writer agency and writing outcomes. Existing studies have yet to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the motivational underpinnings of FSB, particularly for adolescents. Prior FSB research also treated second language (L2) writers as a homogeneous group, overlooking variations in motivational configuration across different stages of writing development.

Additionally, current knowledge on how multiple motivational constructs function together at the individual level in shaping learning behaviors and boredom remains limited. The present study aims to address these gaps by using both variable-centered and person-centered approaches. Participants were 784 university students as L2 English...
