Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A longitudinal study follows the same group of individuals over time, so Dr. Davis's study of the same group of students over three years is a longitudinal study. Cross-sectional studies compare different groups at the same time, cross-sequential studies combine longitudinal and cross-sectional elements, and secular studies focus on changes over time in a larger population rather than specific individuals.
