1-17. (applied-24) Suppose I am interested in knowing whether adults who are very introverted at

age 20 are still highly introverted at age 50. Which of the following statistical analyses will I

be most likely to use?

a. a comparison of average introversion scores for a sample of adults aged 20 and another

sample aged 50

b. a comparison of average introversion scores at age 20 and age 50 for the same adults

assessed longitudinally

c. an analysis of the average amount in introversion between any 2 measurements of the

same people over time

*d. a calculation of the correlation between scores on the key variable at 2 time points in

a group of subjects studied longitudinally between age 20 and age 50
