Longitudinal Versus Cross-Sectional Study Design
What is the primary implication of using a longitudinal study, rather than a cross-sectional study, to analyze changes in social media usage among teenagers?
A
It increases the immediacy of data collection but reduces long-term usability for future research.
B
It limits the scope to a narrower age range, preventing generalization across all teenage groups.
C
It allows for quicker hypothesis testing with immediate results, though it may lack depth in analysis.
D
It provides insight into trends and developmental patterns over time that cannot be captured by cross-sectional studies.
