Studying Lives through Time: Secondary Data Analyses in Developmental Psychology.

Brooks-Gunn, Jeanne; And Others

Developmental Psychology, v27 n6 p899-910 Nov 1991

Two ways of studying lives in context through time are analysis of longitudinal data and secondary data analysis of long-term studies intended to answer questions not originally posed. The opportunities for, and limitations of, these types of analysis; their relevance to policy; and their applicability to interdisciplinary research are considered. (BC)
