Professor Sandis is interested in the development of cognitive abilities. So he designs a research study using a cross-sectional design. He considered a longitudinal design, but it was too time consuming. To avoid any interpretation problems, he should consider using
A)a mixed methods design

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sequential designs combine elements of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs, allowing researchers to study different age groups at the same time and then follow these groups over time. This approach can help mitigate the time constraints of purely longitudinal studies while addressing developmental changes more effectively than cross-sectional designs alone.
