    Survey Research Designs


    Survey Research Designs
    1. One of the most important decisions in survey
    research pertains to determining the overall design of
    the study.

    2. Cross-Sectional Design - multiple samples are drawn


    from the population, at one time.

    3. Examples?

    4. What are some possible limitations of a cross-


    sectional design?
    Survey Research Designs
    1. Successive Independent Samples Design - a series of
    cross-sectional studies are conducted over time
    (successively).

    2. It is important that (a) the same questions are asked


    on each occasion, (b) the different samples (over
    time) should be drawn from the same population.

    3. Examples?

    4. What are some possible limitations of a successive


    independent samples design?

    Potential Pop Quiz Question: In your own


    words explain this study, and its relevance to
    successive independent samples designs.
    Survey Research Designs
    1. Longitudinal Design - The same sample of
    respondents is surveyed more than once (mnemonic
    “longitudinal is a over a long time”).

    2. What are some pros and cons associated with


    longitudinal designs?
    Survey Research Designs
    1. On the issue of longitudinal designs, what is meant
    by attrition (sometimes also called “mortality”)?

    2. Potential Pop Quiz Question: Explain how the issue


    of respondent attrition is related to the issue of
    response bias. (Note: This requires a lot of critical
    thinking. You can do it!)

    Potential Pop Quiz Question: Explain how


    the interpretation of this table could change
    depending on whether the research design was
    longitudinal versus successive independent samples.

    Adolescent & Adult Development

    1. Let’s consider some different designs for assessing


    development across the lifespan, including adulthood.

    2. Cross-sectional Study - a study in which people of different


    ages are compared at a given time. Example: Compare the
    people who are turning twenty this year, to those who are
    turning 40 this year.

    3. Longitudinal Study - a study in which the same people are


    tested at more than one point in time. Example: Each
    participant’s performance will be measured at age twenty,
    and again at age 40 (twenty years from now).
    Adolescent & Adult Development
    Why might these two methods produce
    very different results?
    Adolescent & Adult Development

    1. Cohort - (in developmental studies) a group of


    individuals who share a year-of-birth (or range of
    birth years).

    2. A Cohort Effect - an influence that can be attributed


    to a particular year of birth (or range of birth years),
    rather than to age per se.
