Abstract
Longitudinal research, which includes panel research, is the term used to differentiate the methodology and utility of prospective studies from that of cross-sectional research. It describes not a single method, but a family of methods that measure change by linking individual data across time (Zazzo, 1967, cited in Menard, 2002).
