Accessible population | Population that is readily available to the researcher and that represents the target population as closely as possible |
Cluster sampling | Type of sampling in which the researcher selects groups of subjects rather than individual subjects; also called multistaf |
Convenience sampling | Type of non-probability sampling in which the researcher selects subjects or elements readily available; also called accidental sampling |
External validity | Extent to which results of a study can be generalized from the study sample to other populations and settings |
Network sampling | Type of non-probability sampling that takes advantage of social networks |
Non-probability sampling | Type of sampling in which the sample is not selected using random selection |
Population | Entire set of subjects, objects, events, or elements being studied; also called the target population |
Probability sampling | Type of sampling in which every subject, object, or element in the population has an equal chance or probability of being chosen |
Purposive sampling | Type of non-probability sampling in which the researcher selects only subjects that satisfy pre-specified characteristics; also called judgmental or theoretical sampling |
Quota sampling | Type of non-probability sampling in which quotas are filled |
Random assignments | Allocation of subjects to either an experimental or a control group |
Random selection | Type of selection in which each subject has an equal, independent chance of being selected |
Sample | A subset of a population |
Sampling | The process of selecting a subset from a larger population |
Sampling frame | A list of all elements in a population |
Simple random sampling | Method of selecting subjects for a sample, in which every subject has an equal chance of being chosen |
Snowball sampling | Type of non-probability sampling that relies on subjects identifying other subjects with similar characteristics |
Stratified random sampling | Type of random sampling in which the population is divided into sub-populations, or strata, on the basis of one or more variables, and a simple random sample is drawn from each stratum |
Systematic sampling | Type of sampling in which every kth (where "k" is some convenient number) member of the population is selected into the sample |
Target population | Population for which study outcomes are intended. Although the intended (target) population is usually evident, having access to members of this population (accessible) can be difficult |
