Part 1: Limitations
Review all the articles you included in your reference list/literature articles assignment focusing specifically on the limitations presented in each study (remember to cite the information). List the limitations that you find below. Please note: limitations are often in the discussion or conclusion of an article. Researchers/authors will note things like a small sample size as a limitation.
* There are methodological limitations and challenges of systematic review articles, such as single studies with individual-level interventions (Abu-Omar et al., 2017).
* The low response rate in follow-ups is partly because participants can no longer be reached (Bell et al., 2019) and (Pascoe et al., 2020).
* The lack of comparison groups and sufficient information makes it more difficult to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention and the observed effects (Pascoe et al., 2020).
* When there is an overrepresentation of specific individuals and groups and the samples, this is likely to compromises the generalizability of research findings (Schneider et al., 2019).
*  Differences in the severity of mental health and illnesses mean the results cannot be generalized in all settings (Varma et al., 2021).
* The respondents may self-select, and the challenge with this is that the research is more likely to be biased as it is the most interested people who responded (Varma et al., 2021).
* In research where there is the population’s psychological state, the research work is mostly periodic. Yet, the psychological states tend to change over time and are affected by the environment (Salari et al., 2020).
Part 2: Similarities of Limitations
Look for similarities in the limitations. Do several studies note the same limitation? Write a paragraph that summarizes the similarities noted. Make sure you have cited all of the articles in-text that note similar limitations. (Please note: When your parenthetical citation includes two or more sources, list in alphabetical order by the last name of the first author listed and separate using a semi-colon.)
There are various psychological models for preventing, treating, and managing stress, including physical exercises, and the researchers identified limitations and justified for a good reason. Thus, in various studies, there was a focus on the reliability and trustworthiness of the research to support research findings and ensure the research could be generalized (Schneider et al., 2019); (Varma et al., 2021). Additionally, self-selection bias is of concern, but samples that are more representative of the population are required. The researchers recognized the limitations and the need to portray how mental health interventions promoted be...
