COMMERCIAL ARCHITECTURE OF THE NINETEENTH
CENTURY
1 Arcades
were built in Paris as early as 1799 and in London in 1816, but these were
primarily arched passages through buildings to connect institutions. American
arcades, by contmst, were not just passages to some other destination but the

shopping malls. The Providence Arcade (1829) in Rhode Island's capital
illustmtes the American tmnsformation of the arcade into a temple of shopping.
The Arcade's pitched glass roof sheltered a large open space surrounded by
tiered shops. The Arcade was set at the edge of Providence's business district,
making it a focal point for future growth. On the two street sides, six huge
gmnite columns modeled on a Greek temple dominated the building's
facades. 2 Nineteenth-century urban
Americans flocked to another ancestor of the contemporary shopping mall, the
department store, a controlled indoor world where an army of goods were
organized under a single management. The origins of the department store were in
Cincinnati, where in 1829, a new kind of building was dedicated to tmde,
business, and culture. This building, called the Bazaar, featured a four-story
rotunda beneath a huge dome that meant to unite multiple functions under one
symbolic roof. Unfortunately, however, the Bazaar was short-lived. A more

RESEARCH DESIGNS
1
In the fields of psychology and sociology, a crucial decision for
researchers is which research design to use. When the subject of the study is
how people change or develop over time, two designs are frequently used: the
cross-sectional design and the longitudinal design. 2
Cross-sectional studies look at a cross-section of subjects and
compare their responses. The essential characteristics of the design are that it
includes groups of subjects at different age levels, and that each subject is
tested or interviewed only once. For example, researchers may give a memory test
to adults in their twenties through seventies, select the youngest group as a
standard, and then compare each older group to that norm. Cross-sectional
studies are relatively quick to do and can provide information about possible
age differences. However, they do not reveal anything about individual change
over time, since each subject is tested only once. 3
Longitudinal studies differ from cross-sectional studies because
they test or interview the same subjects over time and therefore allow us to
look at consistency or change within the same individual. The typical procedure
is to select a relatively small group of subjects who are all about the same age
at the beginning of the study and then look at them repeatedly over a period of
time. Short-term longitudinal studies cover several years and are common in
research on both children and adults. Long-term longitudinal studies follow
subjects from childhood into adulthood, from early to middle adulthood, or from
middle adulthood to old age. One advantage of longitudinal studies is that any
changes found are real changes, not just age-group differences.

the research design that they describe. TWO of the answer choices will NOT be

Answer Choices
A. A group of
subjects of the same age is tested repeatedly over a long period.
B. Researchers examine an existing relationship between two groups of
subjects. C. This design allows researchers to study human
behavior indirectly. D. Researchers test or interview each
subject only one time. E. This type of study may reveal
differences that are not just age-group differences. F.
Researchers can study consistency or change within the same
individual. G. This design can tell us about possible
differences among various age groups.
