What are some negative factors regarding longitudinal research?
  1. It cannot establish that one variable causes change in another variable.
  2. It does not allow for scientific control of variables.
  3. Both A and B
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: D - Some negative factors regarding longitudinal research are longitudinal research needs large quantities of time and can become a financial drain. Due in part to this, studies sometimes have just a small group of participants, making it harder to relate the results to a larger group. An additional issue is that participants often drop out of the research due to the length of the study, leaving the sample group even smaller.
