Cross-sectional research method allows researchers to observe differences in behavior among people of different ages at a given point in time, providing valuable information for developmental studies as well as comparisons between groups. However, it does not provide information about how the same person changes with age (A), and it is prone to the effect of "cohort differences" where different generations may have unique experiences that impact their behaviors (C). The longitudinal method is more sensitive to individual behavioral change and stability (D).
