Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Longitudinal studies take place over time. Assessment over time uses measures that are age-appropriate at each measurement interval. A study designed to evaluate depression in children might begin with parent or teacher evaluations of behavior. As the child matures, participant interviews might be added to the observational reports of parents and teachers. As the child matures across assessment periods, self-report measures of depression may be used.
