Psyc 140 module 2 developmental life span portage learning.1. Longitudinal Study Design
Answer: -Research in lifespan development
-involves following individuals over a long period of time with multiple assessment points
-enables researchers to tease out whether a phenomenon is due to developmental change (the person
becoming older, more mature, etc.) or something inherent in the individual
-explore what qualities change over time and what qualities remain stable
-longer the study, the more time and resources are needed. Also, it is difficult for people to commit
multiple years (or decades) of their lives to a single study.

becoming older, more mature, etc.) or something inherent in the individual
