Maria, a 10-year-old girl, faces a significant challenge when her mother dies unexpectedly from a prolonged illness. This traumatic event places Maria in a difficult situation, as she now has to live with her grandparents, adjusting to a new home and coping with the emotional impact of her loss.

contexts
Emily initially performs well academically and socially in her early childhood and early elementary years. Her family moves frequently due to her parent's jobs, leading to some negative changes in schools and social circles. At age 11, Emily’s family relocates to a new city, and she starts attending a new middle school. This new environment offers different educational resources, extracurricular activities, and social opportunities. The new school has a robust academic enrichment program, including advanced courses and after-school tutoring. Emily engages in these programs, which challenges her academically and enhances her skills. This is an example of what view of development?
That development is determined mostly by "later experience"
Researchers create a controlled environment in a lab where children are exposed to standardized stress-inducing tasks, such as timed problem-solving activities or simulated challenging scenarios (e.g., a frustrating puzzle). The lab setting allows for precise control over the conditions of the task and the environment. The primary advantage of this approach is that researchers can control extraneous variables and ensure that all participants experience the same conditions. This is an example of one advantage of a laboratory observation over what other type of observations?
Naturalistic

To examine the relationship between the time spent playing video games and academic performance, data was collected from 100 children on the average number of hours each child spends playing video games per week.

This is an example of what type of research design?
Correlational
Data was collected on 200 children ages 3-5 to investigate how different parenting styles (e.g., authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful) in early childhood influence peer interactions in adolescence. Data was then collected again at ages 8-10 and 15-17. What type of research design is this an example of?
Longitudinal
