Chapter 8: Study Limitations Although through this investigation there is now a clearer understanding of the selfregulation construct in the context of academic and school readiness outcomes, there remains a clear need for further investigation which attempts to take an even longer longitudinal perspective, with a larger, more diverse sample on self-regulation and its influence on academic success. Although this investigation has many advantages stemming from its multi-method, multi-source approach, there are a few potential limitations that remain. It must be stated the a proportion of the relation between on-task involvement and classroom learning behaviors may not be the result of the construct having a theoretical tie, but from the fact that the child’s teacher completed both measures, and thus risks single-rater bias. For future investigations, taking a multi-source and multi-method approach wit of on-task involvement and classroom learning behaviors would be optimal. As noted in the methodology, there was a significant decrease in child participation between the initial measurement in preschool and the population’s matriculation into kindergarten. The vast majority of the drop off can be attributed to either the child not moving onto kindergarten by the time researchers we collecting time 3 data, or the 59
child no longer being affiliated with the schools in the measurement pool. In order to confirm that the strength of the current findings are not impacted by attrition of a confounding population, future investigations should attempt to source data from a more stable sample population or be inclined to track children outside of the schools in the measurement pool. Finally, another potential limitation pertains to the sampling. Although the sample size of this investigation certainly meets the minimum established requirements for structural analysis, it would have been ideal if the sample were larger and more diverse. Regarding diversity, any analysis with the current data using race/ethnicity as a demographic variable is confounded by school type, due to the fact that the majority of Caucasian children are in the private day school, and all other races/ethnicities are better represented in the Head Start classroom. As a result, future work will need to expand the analysis to include investigation across race/ethnicity to fully understand how the model functions for more ethnically diverse samples. 60
