q2 i? A systematic review of multimodal SRL research identifies four types of analytical approaches (unimodal, horizontal, vertical, integrated) and documents a shift from unimodal toward integrated approaches, while motivational and affective dimensions remain underrepresented. → Tina Seufert 2026

The discussion paper reports, attributing to de Mooij et al. (2025), a systematic review that expands the empirical basis of the SMA Grid and identifies "four types of analytical approaches: unimodal, horizontal, vertical, and integrated." The review documents a shift from unimodal to integrated designs; no effect sizes are printed.

"It identifies four types of analytical approaches: unimodal, horizontal, vertical, and integrated. This typology adds valuable granularity to the field’s methodological landscape"
