Identify the group of interest and its characteristics to which the findings of the study will be generalized
…called the “target” population (the ideal selection)
…oftentimes the “accessible” or “available” population must be used (the realistic selection)

A subset of the population, selected by either
“probability” or “non-probability” methods. If you have a “probability sample”
you simply know the likelihood of any member of the
population being included (not necessarily that it is
“random.”

1 Get a list or “sampling frame”This is the hard part! It must not systematically
exclude anyone. Remember the famous sampling mistake?
2 Generate random numbers3 Select one person per random number
![Page 20: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
advantages…advantages……easy to conduct
…strategy requires minimum knowledge of the population to be sampled
![Page 21: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
disadvantages…disadvantages……need names of all population members
…may over- represent or under- estimate sample members
…there is difficulty in reaching all selected in the sample
![Page 22: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1 Select a random number, which will be known as k
2 Get a list of people, or observe a flow of people (e.g., pedestrians on a corner)
3 Select every kthpersonCareful that there is no systematic rhythm to the
flow or list of people.If every 4th person on the list is, say, “rich” or
“senior” or some other consistent pattern, avoid this method
![Page 23: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

disadvantages…disadvantages……all members of the population do not have
an equal chance of being selected
…the Kth person may be related to a periodical order in the population list, producing unrepresentativeness in the sample
![Page 25: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
1 Separate your population into groups or “strata”
2 Do either a simple random sample or systematic random sample from there
Note you must know easily what the “strata” are before attempting this
If your sampling frame is sorted by, say, school district, then you’re able to use this method
![Page 26: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
advantages…advantages……more precise sample
…can be used for both proportions and stratification sampling
…sample represents the desired strata

1 Get a list of “clusters,” e.g., branches of a company
2 Randomly sample clusters from that list3 Have a list of, say, 10 branches4 Randomly sample people within those
branchesThis method is complex and expensive!

…qualitative research is characterized by in-depth inquiry, immersion in a setting, emphasis on context, concern with participants’ perspectives, and description of a single setting, not generalization to many settings
![Page 46: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
…because samples need to be small and many potential participants are unwilling to undergo the demands of participation, most qualitative research samples are purposive
![Page 47: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
…representativeness is secondary to the quality of the participants’ ability to provide the desired information about self and setting

2. Homogeneous sampling: selecting participants who are very similar in experience, perspective, or outlook
1. Intensity sampling: selecting participants who permit study of different levels of the research topic
![Page 49: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
4. Snowball sampling: selecting a few individuals who can identify other individuals who can identify still other individuals who might be good participants for a study
3. Criterion sampling: selecting all cases that meet some pre-defined characteristic

5. Random purposive sampling: with a small sample, selecting by random means participants who were purposively selected and are too numerous to include all in the study
![Page 51: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Qualitative researchers seek “saturation” “How many” isn’t the issue. Do you understand the
phenomenon? Have you learned enough? Mere numbers are irrelevant. You want “verstehn”
or deep understanding Quantitative researchers seek statistical
validity Can you safely generalize to the population? Have
you systematically excluded anyone?
![Page 52: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The size of the sample influences both the representativeness of the sample and the statistical analysis of the data…larger samples are more likely to
detect a difference between different groups
…smaller samples are more likely not to be representative
![Page 53: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
2. For smaller samples (N ‹ 100), there is little point in sampling. Survey the entire population.
1. The larger the population size, the smaller the percentage of the population required to get a representative sample
![Page 54: Sampling procedure30 jan2012](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022103111/54c811884a795918768b456d/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
4. If the population size is around 1500, 20% should be sampled.
3. If the population size is around 500 (give or take 100), 50% should be sampled.
5. Beyond a certain point (N = 5000), the population size is almost irrelevant and a sample size of 400 may be adequate.

Sampling error…
…the chance and random variation in variables that occurs when any sample is selected from the population
…sampling error is to be expected

…to avoid sampling error, a census of the entire population must be taken
…to control for sampling error, researchers use various sampling methods

Sampling bias…
…nonrandom differences, generally the fault of the researcher, which cause the sample is over-represent individuals or groups within the population and which lead to invalid findings
…sources of sampling bias include the use of volunteers and available groups

Be aware of the sources of sampling bias and identify how to avoid it
Decide whether the bias is so severe that the results of the study will be seriously affected
In the final report, document awareness of bias, rationale for proceeding, and potential effects
