Timescale

This is the landing page for everything related to the timescales of constructs of interest.

To ensure the measurement of a process aligns with the theory and research questions we have, it is paramount to determine the timescale at which the process is assumed to unfold, and match this with the timescale at which we observe the process.

Below we have specified multiple articles that help you consider the timescale of your process.
