Siblings who are twins not only look alike but often display similar behavioral and personality traits. The study noted that life outcomes of subjects were determined to a large extent by their socio-economic and demographic circumstances, and that chances for upward mobility remained limited in late 20th century Britain (Pearson, 2012). The latest installment was filmed in 2019 by which time the participants had reached 63 years of age. When it was first conceived, the aim of the study was to document the life progressions of a cross-section of British children through the second half of the 20th century in light of the rapid social, economic, political, and demographic changes occuring in Britain.ġ4 children were selected from different socio-economic backgrounds for the first study in 1963 in which all were 7 years old.
LONGITUDINAL STUDIES SERIES
The interviews are filmed and form the subject matter of the critically acclaimed Up series of documentary films directed by Michael Apsted. The study is conducted in the form of interviews in which the subjects report the changes that have occurred in their lives in the last 7 years since the last interview. The Up Series is a continuing longitudinal study that studies the lives of 14 subjects in Britain at 7-year intervals. References Examples of Longitudinal Studies 1.
