Discussion 2
Aging research and statistical methods present various pieces information about its essence when it comes to elderly people’s cognition, psycho-social functioning, and overall health. In this writing we present the statistical method’s role in determining the variables’ role in identifying their relationship with each other in terms of a person’s well-being in the latter part of their life. Thus, the aging research through experimental and quasi-experimental designs will determine the factors that are needed in health research.
In the field of aging research, the mentioned designs are two of the most applicable pieces of information when it comes to aging. That is because; they provide different results that would help in determining if the health-related treatments will provide effective outcomes or not (Aldwin and Gilmer 70). Additionally, it would help the health researchers to identify the most appropriate treatment process based on the symptoms.
Age-Related Designs
This information is also one of the most applicable in aging research. It provides details as to how aging affects the person himself. Its subdivision, such as cross-sectional and longitudinal designs make it possible to identify different attributes based on the person’s age and other age-related changes of a person. Thus, it shows the relevance of age with the person’s IQ development. This concept of aging research is also essential for understanding the aging population’s psycho-social interaction. Thus, we can also use this approach in measuring the accuracy of the results both from longitudinal and cross-sectional designs. These pieces of information that I included as the most applicable facets in aging research would determine both the psychological and health changes among the aging people. Thus, it will help in determining the applicable approach when it comes to dealing with elderly people’s health and well-being.
