groups at the same period of time.
A longitudinal design is utilized frequently in developmental psychology as it measures the same group
of subjects over an extended period of time.
A sequential design has elements of both cross-sectional and longitudinal designs.
The type of research design that developmental psychologists consider to be the "best design" is the -
correct answer The longitudinal design is most powerful in providing statistically
significant data as this design naturally controls for many interfering variables since the same group of
individuals is measured at different points across an extended length of time, such as months, years, or
decades.
What is the largest drawback of the longitudinal design? - correct answer study
participant attrition. Since this research design takes place over an extended amount of time,
researchers need to anticipate that they will continue to lose research participants, sometimes through
death or other reasons why participants will discontinue the research study.
