Setting Up a Longitudinal Study with CloudResearch’s MTurk Toolkit Setting Up Your Initial Study Fortunately, CloudResearch has tools that make running longitudinal studies on MTurk less daunting and more efficient. Even when the hassle of bringing participants to the lab is removed, online longitudinal studies can be challenging because simply re-contacting participants over email can take a great amount of time. In a traditional research lab, longitudinal studies entail contacting an initial group of participants, maintaining contact information, begging participants to return for follow up, and managing data across time points. Nevertheless, researchers in some areas rarely run longitudinal studies because doing so requires a lot of resources. Longitudinal research is important to the scientific community because it reveals how behavioral phenomena change over time. We also provide tips for maximizing worker participation and minimizing attrition.
