Usefulness do results apply to real life situations
Measures of Usefulness sample size / representative sample / "blind" experimenters / operational definitions / statistical significance
Observation Naturalistic / Laboratory
Experiment Independent / Dependant Variables - Experimental and control groups
Case Study Study of single individual
Cross-Sectional Research Groups of subjects at different ages; same period in time.
Longitudinal Research Same group of children at different points in time
Cross Sequential Research Combination of Cross sectional / Longitudinal
Ethics 1. Child has rights that supersede the investigator 2. Respect child's freedom to choose to participate or not. 3. Obtain informed consent of parent or guardian 4. Use no research operation that may harm the child
Correlation An observed correlation cannot distinguish causation.

Qualitative Data from interviews etc.
