Match the columns and select code :
| List I | List II |
|---|---|
| (1) Developmental research | (i) Research that explores relationships among variables. |
| (2) Longitudinal research | (ii) Study of changes in behavior across years. |
| (3) Cross-sectional research | (iii) Research in which the same participants are studied over a period of years. |
| (4) Correlational research | (iv) Research in which samples of participants from different age groups are selected in order to assess effects of maturation. |
Codes :
Answer: B
The correct matching is (1)-(ii), (2)-(iii), (3)-(iv), (4)-(i).
- Developmental research studies changes in behaviour across the years of life (1-ii).
- Longitudinal research follows the same participants over a period of years (2-iii).
- Cross-sectional research compares samples from different age groups at one time to assess the effects of maturation (3-iv).
- Correlational research explores relationships among variables (4-i).
The other codes swap the longitudinal and cross-sectional designs or misplace correlational research; the two developmental designs are the easiest to confuse.
