Cohort study
A cohort study is a longitudinal study that follows a cohort of subjects over a fairly long period of time to watch how they develop in different social settings.
An example is a cohort study of pre-school children to see how their life experiences differ and the impact that has at different periods of their life; such as at the key ages of 7, 14 and 21.
Cohort effect: effects on people's lives that arise from the characteristics of the historical periods during which they experienced stages of life such as childhood or middle age.
