Laura Barclay Week One Discussion Main Post Hamilton et al. (2015) sought to develop and evaluate a scale for measuring self-reported parental perceptions of self-regulation, as studies have indicated that self-regulation is linked to improved mental health for parents and children as well as positive behavior. There has been extensive research within parenting literature that has explained a framework that contributes to parental competency, but there has yet to be a quantitative measurement of parents’ beliefs about their ability to self-monitor and self-manage. This study and the questionnaire developed may provide the framework for better measures to allow for improvements in parental skills training. In this study, Y represents the dependent variable of confidence in parenting ability and f and x represent the independent variable of self-regulation skills. E represents the margin of error that must be considered in all studies (Frankfort-Nachmias et al., 2019). One error to consider in this study is a lack of diversity in the sample, which included primarily white families in Australia; researchers could have recruited a broader range of participants from various socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Because much of the data was self-reported, there could also be variations in the responses based upon the participants’ understanding of the questions and beliefs about parenting.

I agree with the potential errors you pointed out, especially the issue of the hereditary nature of dyslexia, which can cause significant individual errors. However, simply because errors exist does not mean that research should be dismissed entirely. While errors impact the reliability and validity of studies (Frankfort-Nachmias et al., 2019), they can also demonstrate areas of necessary improvement, allowing researchers to construct better measures and create more reliable and valid studies.
