Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cross-sectional research involves the study of individuals at different ages or stages of development at the same point in time, making it the most appropriate choice from the options given. Option A (analogue research) involves the use of a sample that is similar to the population being studied but is not the actual population, so it is not relevant to the question. Option B (within group research) involves studying the same group of individuals at different points in time, not different groups of individuals at the same point in time. Option D (between group research) involves comparing different groups of individuals at the same point in time, but not necessarily different ages or stages of development.
