Answer to Question 1

A cross-sectional study is one in which various segments of a population are sampled and data are collected in a single moment in time. In a longitudinal study, respondents are questioned at multiple points in time. The purpose is to examine continuity of response and to observe changes that occur over time. Some longitudinal studies are similar to cross-sectional studies in that they survey different samples every time the study is conducted (e.g., cohort study). However, other longitudinal studies gather data from the same sample of individuals over time (e.g., consumer panel). It seems that a longitudinal study is more appropriate for this research question.
