Recent studies suggest that teacher messages can affect students' well-being. Using a multilevel, variable, and person-centred approach, this study aimed to identify profiles of students according to their teachers' use of engaging messages and analyse the relation among these profiles and teacher-student relatedness and students' subjective vitality. A total of 1209 students participated in the study. At the student-level, profile analysis indicated the existence of four different profiles: the "few messages" profile, the "autonomous motivational appeals" profile, the "loss-framed messages" profile, and the "gain-framed messages" profile. At the teacher level, profile analysis indicated the existence of two profiles: the "variant" and the "invariant" profiles. Results showed that overall, at both levels of analysis, teachers' engaging messages related with teacher-student relatedness (either positively or negatively) with clear differences among profiles. Moreover, also at both levels of analysis, teacher-student relatedness related with students' subjective vitality. Main findings and implications for practice are discussed.
