Define cross-sectional design and longitudinal design. Develop an example of each using the same basic situation
What will be an ideal response?
A cross-sectional design is a design in which one sample of respondents is drawn from the target population and information is obtained from this sample once. A longitudinal design is a type of research design involving a fixed sample of population elements that is measured repeatedly on the same variables. The sample remains the same over time, thus providing a series of pictures which, when viewed together, portray a vivid illustration of the situation and the changes that are taking place over time.
The students should provide their own examples of each using a situation of their choice.
