Non-probability sampling
Non-probability sampling is often the chosen route when the
researcher, for instance, is
undertaking an exploratory, qualitative study and does not have the objective of generalising
the findings to the population from which the sample is drawn.
•
With probability sampling, bias and subjectivity are reduced or eliminated through the
random selection of elements.
• There is relatively high level of confidence that the sample is representative of the
population from which it is drawn.
• The greater scope allows the researcher subjectivity in the constitution of the sample.
However, there is more a noteworthy
‘open door’ for the researcher who wants to influence
the sampling system and that is to contort the discoveries of the examination. Cost and
time factors may likewise affect the decision of non-probability
sampling as it requires
cautious planning and a far-reaching definition in characterising the population and setting
up the sampling outline
Convenience sampling
The researcher has the opportunity to pick whoever is accessible for consideration in the
sample. Despite the fact that it is not a
dependable research structure,
convenience
sampling is frequently the most effortless to establish and impact. Models incorporate the
choice of companions and neighbours who are anything but difficult to find and helpful to
survey. While the discoveries made from convenience sampling
may not be exact and
need unwavering quality, they might be helpful, for instance, in the exploratory systems.
For the most part, this technique does not require much to recognise or legitimise it as a
sampling strategy as it does not have a sound research ethic and legitimacy.
