Professor horvat designs a study to assess the work satisfaction and home life satisfaction of a group of graduate students. she administers the same measures of work and home life satisfaction on two occasions, one year apart. she finds that home life satisfaction measured at the first time point is strongly correlated with job satisfaction measured at the second time point. what type of correlation is this?

Cross sectional

Explanation:

In cross sectional studies the data of a population is studied and how one variable varies with another variable at set point in time. The data of the variables is collected in two points in time. How one variable affects the other variables in the other time is studied and the conclusions are drawn.

Here, the Professor has found that satisfaction of home life which was measured at the first time is strongly correlated with satisfaction of the job measured at the second time.

Hence, this is an example of cross sectional correlation.

is there answer choices?
