This page introduces key concepts in research sampling, defining population and sample, and outlining various sampling methods. Each method is briefly described, highlighting its unique characteristics.
Definition: A population is the entire group of people a researcher is studying, while a sample is a smaller subset of that population used for research.
The page covers five main sampling methods:
Highlight: Understanding the difference between systematic and stratified sampling methods is crucial for researchers to choose the most appropriate technique for their study.
Example: In systematic sampling, a researcher might select every 5th person on a register, while in stratified sampling, they might divide the population into age groups and select samples from each group.
This page provides a detailed evaluation of the sampling methods introduced earlier, discussing their strengths and limitations in research contexts.
Random Sampling:
Systematic Sampling:
Stratified Sampling:
Opportunity Sampling:
Volunteer Sampling:
Highlight: The impact of volunteer sampling on research study outcomes can be significant, as it may attract participants with specific traits or motivations, potentially introducing bias into the study.
Example: A volunteer sample for a health study might attract more health-conscious individuals, potentially skewing the results towards healthier behaviors or outcomes.
Vocabulary: Researcher bias refers to the potential for a researcher's personal beliefs, experiences, or preferences to influence the study design, data collection, or interpretation of results.
