Show moreThis exploratory study investigates profiles of self-regulated learning (SRL) and expands on a gap in previous research. Previously found profiles were summarized, replicated, and differences among profiles in academic outcomes, personality, and goal orientation were examined. Additionally, these relationships were examined longitudinally to investigate whether personality or goal orientation predicted stability of profile membership. Four profiles were found using latent profile analysis in a participant pool of 270 undergraduate and graduate students: a very high SRL profile, a high SRL profile, an unmotivated but strategic SRL profile, and a low SRL profile. One-way ANOVA revealed grades did not differ significantly among profiles. Regression analysis found LGO, openness to experience, conscientiousness, and extraversion were significant predictors of SRL profile. Latent transition analysis was used for longitudinal analysis. Over time, participants were more likely to move from profiles utilizing more SRL to profiles of lower SRL. Generally, openness to experience, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism predicted change more than stability, while PPGO predicted stability more than change Show less
