Research Projects
LONGITUDINAL STUDY OF GENERATIONS
The 2016 web-survey of the Longitudinal Study of Generations is now live! Many thanks to those who are participating in this landmark study.
Over the years this project has produced many publications, a selection of which I list below from the last 10 years. Unfortunately, I am not able to share the manuscripts due to copy-right protections exerted by the journals (though many may be available in various data bases),
Please be reminded of the fact that the time and effort devoted by study participants like you have made these publications possible.
With appreciation.
