Answer to Question 1

ANS: D

Feedback
A Cross-sectional design does not allow for intraparticipant comparisons because data are collected at one point in time.
B In ex post facto research, events have already occurred; intraparticipant comparison is not involved.
C Retrospective studies are similar to ex post facto research. In ex post facto research, events have already occurred; intraparticipant comparison is not involved.
D In longitudinal studies, subjects serve as their own controls, and trends in the data can emerge.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C

Feedback
A Nonexperimental designs allow observation of phenomena; experimental designs permit environmental (variable) manipulation.
B Nonexperimental designs involve no manipulation of variables.
C Experimental designs seek to establish cause-and-effect relationships by active manipulation of variables (e.g., treatments).
D Nonexperimental designs should have a scientific basis or rationale.

It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
