I was looking for research examples to share with my class tomorrow. We are talking about causality and the time dimensions of studies (cross sectional versus longitudinal). On the Gallup website are several interesting examples of cross sectional and repeated cross sectional studies (trend studies).

The one that caught my eye was on life satisfaction. Happiness is high in young adult years and steadily declines into the 50s (my AGE!!!) The good news is that it takes a swing back up and the 60s look like good years once again!
