Longitudinal

Examples of Longitudinal in the following topics:

• Methods for Researching Human Development

  • These include longitudinal, cross-sectional, sequential, and microgenetic designs.
  • In a longitudinal study, a researcher observes many individuals born at or around the same time (a cohort) and carries out new observations as members of the cohort age.
  • Longitudinal studies often require large amounts of time and funding, making them unfeasible in some situations.
  • Cross-sequential designs combine both longitudinal and cross-sectional design methodologies.
  • In a longitudinal study, a researcher observes many individuals born at or around the same time and observes them as they age.

• Generalized Anxiety Disorder

  • Indeed, one longitudinal study found that childhood maltreatment was strongly related to the development of this disorder during adulthood (Moffitt et al., 2007).
