Overall, it is a disgusting habit. Observers cringe and prefer not to touch what has been contaminated with someone's saliva.

a longitudinal study and its topic is critiqued for quite a lenghty period of time. this study is undertaken by the researcher and lasts for years, so in saying this it is quite obvious that this is a study that is taken into the future. however, a cross sectional study critiques its research at something that has happened or occured at a specific point in time. it may be a person's experience or an event of some interest.
