Lomez is using a prospective study, also known as a longitudinal study, where data is collected at different points in time to examine how one variable (in this case, violent media) may be related to another variable (aggressive behavior) over time. By measuring the amount of violent television watched at one point in time and then following up with the same individuals years later to measure their aggressiveness, Lomez can examine the relationship between the two variables across time.
