Cross-Sectional Research, Longitudinal Theory, and a Discriminative Transfer Ontogeny.

Kendler, Tracy S.

Human Development, v22 n4 p235-54 1979

This review argues that an hypothesis about longitudinal development may be derived from, and tested exclusively by, cross-sectional data, when the potential sources of interpretive errors are dealt with adequately. The argument is illustrated by cross-sectional data relevant to developmental mediation theory. (Author/SS)
