A repeated cross-sectional survey involves surveying different people in each data collection period over time. This allows researchers to compare attitudes across different cohorts of individuals and track changes in attitudes over time. In this case, cohort replacement - the idea that younger cohorts may be more accepting of nonmarital cohabitation than older cohorts - can be explored by comparing attitudes among different age groups in each survey.
