Which research design allows you to identify age effects cohort effects and time of measurement effects?

What is the type of research in which people of different ages are compared at the same point in time?

Cross sectional research is a study in which subjects of different ages are compared at the same time. It is often used in developmental psychology, but also utilized in many other areas including social science, education and other branches of science.

Which type of research design would provide information about age change?

The benefit of a cross-sectional study design is that it allows researchers to compare many different variables at the same time. We could, for example, look at age, gender, income and educational level in relation to walking and cholesterol levels, with little or no additional cost.
