When longitudinal studies and cross sectional studies are compared with one another, they are very similar; however, there is a major difference between the two. Cross sectional studies observe data at one single point in time, whereas longitudinal studies take place over a period of time, and have at least 2 waves of measurement. (Trochim, 2006) In other words, time is the main variable that is used in a longitudinal study, while cross sectional allows for conclusions to be drawn.…

1. a) A longitudinal study is a study approach where data of a person, or people, is gathered over a long period of time. For example, a Perry Preschool study (high/scope program) was conducted using the longitudinal approach. Researchers continuously added new information to their original files, using the original participants, for the length of 40 years. A cross-sectional study is a research approach where participants of differing ages are observed and compared, at a single point in time.…

I would choose to study a cohort of fifty, 30-year-old inmates of both genders who would be released after 15 years during the study. A longitudinal study would allow me to be able to visit and converse with them, get information about how they live their lives behind bars and also study how they would cope with their return to society. According to Novak, 2012 “Longitudinal studies look at age cohorts or individuals over time” (p. 41). With how fast technology has been improving and growing in…

cross-sectional and longitudinal studies. Cross-sectional studies allow researchers to compare different population groups at the same time (“Cross-sectional Studies vs. Longitudinal Studies,” n.d.). So, if a psychologist wanted to see how many words on average a 2 year old says, he could randomly select a certain number of children who were the same age and observe them to get the information he was seeking. Longitudinal research is utilized when a researcher wants to test the same group of…

Chapter11: Nonexperimental Designs Activity 1 1. Survey is a type of design is known more for the breadth of data collected than for the depth of its data. 2. Longitudinal is a major disadvantage of this design is the length of time needed for data collection. 3. Correlational is the main question is whether or not variables co-vary. 4. Ex- post facto words mean “after the fact”. 5. Cross -sectional eliminates the confounding variable of maturation. 6. Correlational quantifies the magnitude and…

Each longitudinal study focused on a different stage of life; The Michigan Longitudinal Study (MLS) focused on early childhood, the Adolescent/Adult Family Development Project (AFDP) on early adolescence, and lastly the Alcohol and Health Behavior Project (AHBP) focused on early adulthood. Each longitudinal study had a slightly different research method used to collect the data. The design of the MLS study was through the recruitment of alcoholic families, which were identified by community…

order to develop FBU and SC, so that the FBU and SC can support each other for further improvement. Razza & Blair (2009) conducted a longitudinal study highlights the early EF and FBU relation as an essential contributor to the development of children 's SC. They examine the association between EF, FBU and SC within a low Socio-economic status (SES) sample of pre-schoolers. Sixty-eight children (mean age =5.2) were included in the sample, and they were from kindergarten and preschool…
