“…However, as the field has evolved, several scholars have identified methodological limitations due to the absence of longitudinal studies (Fabling & Grimes, 2010; Guest, 2011; Jiang & Messersmith, 2018; Saridakis, Lai, & Cooper, 2017). To date, most studies have been based on cross‐sectional data (with some exceptions such as Roca‐Puig, Bou‐Llusar, Beltrán‐Martín, & García‐Juan, 2018; Shin & Konrad, 2017), and so do not allow any inference of causality. Thus, the first aim of this study was to make a methodological contribution to the debate on causality.…”
