Abstract
Full edition for public use. In this cross-cohort study with German-speaking students aged 14 to 16 years (N=1219) interest in mechanics and particle physics was assessed. In addition, different student characteristics, such as their physics-related self-concept, sex, and experience with the content area in school, were assessed. The main aim of this study was to investigate the students’ types of interest in physics and their association with different student characteristics.
