Longitudinal Confirmatory Research

Longitudinal confirmatory research combines the temporal depth of longitudinal design with the hypothesis-driven logic of confirmatory analysis. The researcher specifies a priori hypotheses or structural models about how variables change or remain stable over time, then tests those predictions against data collected at two or more time points. It is the design of choice when theory is mature enough to make specific predictions about developmental, causal, or stability processes.
