This paper aims to introduce the application of Latent Profile Analysis (LPA) in educational and psychological counseling research. The researchers first explain the definitions and principles, using practical examples and diagrams with the commonly used software Mplus to demonstrate syntax writing and analysis steps, along with important considerations during the process. Additionally, the open-source software Jamovi, which also supports LPA, offers a simpler operation compared to Mplus. After analyzing relevant high-quality papers, the researchers provide comprehensive recommendations for future research.
