Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A longitudinal research design follows the same group of participants over an extended period of time, allowing researchers to track developmental changes and collect data on how behavior, skills, or outcomes change over time. This is different from a cross-sectional design which examines different groups of participants at one point in time, or a cross-sequential design which combines elements of both longitudinal and cross-sectional designs. A latitudinal research design is not a commonly used term in research methodology.
