"This study attempts to determine the extent to which x influences y" implies influence. "This study attempts to determine to what extent x influences y" implies x may have no influence, but may have a measurable influence that can be stated. | |

status over time is the idiomatic way of expressing the idea in a succinct phrase. You sure you don't want to add the phrase request tag? Analysis of that status will show either continuity or discontinuity. But there's no commonly used or even rarely used word that encompasses both.. It's like looking for a neutral and unbiased word that can be a rubric for both "rough" and "smooth", "hardness" and "softness". You've gotta pick. It's called the Rockwell Hardness measure, for example. So you can measure continuity and cite exceptions of discontinuity, or you can do the reverse.

| Aug 23, 2023 at 16:50 | comment | added | Weather Vane | If suppose you could consider "stasis is a type of change" as a corner case of zero change. But this paper is titled "Statis and Change." Can you not make it clear at the start what is being studied? You've said "to avoid continually being accused of assuming that I will find change." So phrase your work in such a way that it isn't presumptive. | |
