Two ways to define sampling criteria - Answer- · Homogeneous sample - as similar as
possible so as to control for extraneous variables

· Heterogeneous sample - represents a broad range of values, used when a narrow
focus is not desirable. The more heterogeneous, the more difficult to interpret results
and generalize

nonprobability sampling - Answer- the probability of any particular member of the
population being chosen is unknown

Probability sampling - Answer- randomization of sample, more likely to be
representative of population. Each element of the population has an equal chance of
inclusion in the sample. Most representative, strongest

Simple random sampling - Answer- laborious (require much work), controlled. Need to
know the entire population. Increases the representativeness of the sample based on
the target population.
· Control group: used in studies with random sampling
· Comparison group: not randomly determined

Stratified random sampling - Answer- requires that the population be divided into strata
or subgroups. The goal of this strategy is to achieve a greater degree of
representativeness

Multistage sampling or cluster sampling - Answer- involves a successive random
sampling of units (clusters) that meet sample eligibility criteria, this sample progresses
from large to small

Systematic sampling - Answer- strategy that involves the selection of every "kth" case
drawn from a population list at fixed intervals, such as q 10thmember listed in certain
directory

Convenience sampling - Answer- most readily accessible persons are participants.
Risk: bias, self-selection

, Quota sampling - Answer- identifies a specific strata of the population and represents it
proportionally (known attributes) in the sample. More representative, still risk of bias.

Purposive sampling or Judgmental or Selective sampling - Answer- efforts are made to
include typical or atypical subjects. Sampling is based on the researcher's judgement

Matching sampling - Answer- an equivalent comparison sample group by filling it with
participants who are similar (chosen variable) to each subject in another sample group
(particular criteria)

Network or snowball effect sampling - Answer- takes advantage of social networks to
get the sample. One person in the sample asks another to join the sample, and so on.

Theoretical sampling - Answer- used in grounded theory research. Data are gathered
from an individual or group that can provide relevant data for theory generation diversity
in the sample is encouraged

Generalization - Answer- extending the findings from the sample under study to the
larger population
Inappropriate generalization - samples cannot be generalized beyond their sampling
criteria. Leading to inappropriate generalizations because of language, reading ability,
other types of illnesses or injuries

Random variation - Answer- expected difference in values that occurs when different
subjects from same sample are examined

Refusal Rate - Answer- percentage of subjects who declined to participate in the study
· E.g.: 80 subjects approached and 4 refused, so 4/80=0.05 = 5% refusal rate

Acceptance Rate - Answer- percentage of subjects who consented to be in the study.
· E.g.: 80 subjects approached and 76 accepted, so 76/80=0.95 = 95% acceptance rate

Sample attrition - Answer- withdrawal or loss of subjects from a study. Attrition rate =
number of subjects withdrawing/number of study subjects X100

Sample retention - Answer- number of subjects who remain in and complete the study

Effect size - Answer- the effect is the presence of the phenomenon being studied, is
extent to which the null hypothesis is false. Increasing the sample size increases the
effect size

Power analysis - Answer- ability to detect differences in the population. Or capacity to
correctly reject a null hypothesis

Research Variables - Answer- specific factors altered and measured during research
