Method evidence record

Panel-based exploratory quantitative research

Panel-based exploratory quantitative research tracks the same sample of participants across multiple measurement points to discover patterns, relationships, and change processes that a single snapshot cannot reveal. Because the research goal is exploratory — uncovering structure rather than testing a predetermined hypothesis — the design is especially valuable in emerging topic areas where theory is underdeveloped and the relevant variables are not yet well understood.
