6.2 Future research directions
As this was an exploratory study meant to primarily discover and define constructs of interest, there is a great deal of future research possible based on the findings. First, simple replications of part of this study three to five years after the initial data collection are in order, as the pace of change in this area appears high and thus being able to compare samples from a longitudinal perspective will begin to help us understand which issues are moving forward and which are not.
