Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Self-Evaluation: Self-Enhancement and Self-Verification

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

The Nativist Approach

The Nativist Approach

The nativist approach to infant cognitive development proposes that infants are born with inherent knowledge structures that allow them to interpret the world almost immediately. This perspective contrasts with earlier developmental theories, such as those proposed by Jean Piaget, which emphasized a more gradual acquisition of cognitive abilities through interaction with the environment. One key concept in this approach is object permanence — the understanding that objects continue to exist...

To make research findings publicly available as they emerge.

Main Methods:

A pilot study, the Vanguard Study, is currently underway.
The Vanguard Study assesses feasibility, acceptability, and cost for the Main Study.
Three recruitment strategies are being evaluated for the Main Study.

Main Results:

The Vanguard Study successfully generated data for Main Study design.
Initial Vanguard Study experiences identified key topics for the next phase.
A decentralized business model is organizing National Children's Study operations.

Conclusions:

The Vanguard Study provides a foundation for the Main Study.
The ongoing research will elucidate complex interactions affecting child health.
Findings will inform strategies to improve children's health and well-being across the U.S.
