Types of research
design
Sequential design
Sequential design is premised on both
longitudinal and cross-sectional research designs (Luo et al., 2018). In
relation to longitudinal design, sequential design formulation divides the research
into phases eventually each phase builds on the last. Since the research is
exploring changes of sexual attitudes overtime, the designed features the
sample population that are followed over time. Subsequently, relative to
cross-sectional research design, sequential design involves the participants of
different ages. In the narrow sense, the participants of different age are
enrolled into the research at different stages in time to assess age–related
adjustments, development of the same age-group throughout their growing path
and to enable accounting for the likeability of cohort or the duration of
measurement effects. The change of sexual attitudes development research study
can be completed within a multiple points in time. In effect, it allows the
study of phenomena that takes place within a range of time.
Hypotheses

H1:
