Greetings everyone!

My name is Amy Dent, and I'm a graduate student at Duke University working with Rick Hoyle on a meta-analysis exploring the relation between self-regulation and academic achievement across elementary and secondary school. While we've attempted to ensure all published studies on this research question have been collected, we also hope to include all relevant unpublished empirical work in our meta-analysis. To that end, we would greatly appreciate if you'd be willing to share any unpublished studies on this topic or could recommend other sources of unpublished empirical work. In particular, we are exploring the relation between any academic performance outcome and constructs that have some degree of overlap with self-regulation in they way they have been labeled, conceptualized, or measured (e.g, self-control, effortful control, executive functions, delay of gratification).

I would be very grateful if you could send or refer me to an electronic copy of relevant research reports. A citation of empirical work that I could track down would also be great, as any information is helpful in our search for studies! Of course, we would be happy to share a copy of our results after completion of the search and analysis upon request.

Many thanks for your time and help!

Sincerely,

Amy Dent
