Time Constraint in Research

A limitation in research due to the available time frame for completing the project. This constraint impacts the choice of research methods and time horizon for data collection.

Cross-Sectional Time Horizon

Refers to collecting data at a single point in time, providing a snapshot of the situation.

Longitudinal Time Horizon

Involves collecting data over an extended period, allowing researchers to observe changes and trends over time.
