The GSS is a repeated cross-sectional survey because it collects data from a new sample of respondents each year, but the questions asked are the same or similar to previous surveys. It is not an experiment because the researchers are not manipulating any variables or assigning participants to different groups. It is also not participant observation or a longitudinal study because it does not involve observing participants over a period of time or collecting data from the same group of participants over an extended period.
