Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the key characteristics of each research type: Longitudinal research studies the same individuals over an extended period, observing changes as they age.
Recognize that Cross-sectional research compares different groups of people of various ages at a single point in time, allowing for age-related differences to be observed without waiting for time to pass.
Sequential research combines elements of both longitudinal and cross-sectional designs by studying several cohorts over time, helping to control for cohort effects.
Case study research involves an in-depth examination of a single individual or group, not focused on comparing different age groups.
Identify that the research type which compares people of different ages at the same point in time is Cross-sectional research.
