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.
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.
