Question

A major advantage of longitudinal design over the cross-sectional design is the ability to detect change as a result of repeated measurement of the same variables on the same sample. Select one: a. True b. False

Answer 1

Conclusion: The statement is true.

Explanation:

A longitudinal design consists of the observation of one or several variables in a group of individuals during a time window, in order to record the possible changes that are generated in said characteristic in that lapse.

On the other hand, the transverse design is concerned with measuring one or several variables at a single point of time and, therefore, does not allow changes to be detected over time.

Conclusion: The statement is true.
