Sampling Terminology
•Population (universe)
• Any complete group of entities that share some
common set of characteristics.
•Population Element
• An individual member of a population.
•Census
• An investigation of all the individual elements that
make up a population.
•Sample
• A subset, or some part, of a larger population.

Why Sample?
•Pragmatic Reasons
• Budget and time constraints.
• Limited access to total population.
•Accurate and Reliable Results
• Samples can yield reasonably accurate
information.
• Strong similarities in population elements makes
sampling possible.
• Sampling may be more accurate than a census.
•Destruction of Test Units
• Sampling reduces the costs of research in finite
populations.

Practical Sampling Concepts
•Defining the Target Population
• What is the relevant population?
• Whom do we want to talk to?
◗ Population is operationally defined by specific and
explicit tangible characteristics.
•The Sampling Frame
• A list of elements from which a sample may be
drawn; also called working population.
• Sampling Frame Error
◗ Occurs when certain sample elements are not listed or
are not accurately represented in a sampling frame.

Practical Sampling Concepts (cont’d)
•Sampling services (list brokers)
• Provide lists or databases of the names,
addresses, phone numbers, and e-mail
addresses of specific populations.
• Reverse directory
◗ A directory similar to a telephone directory except
that listings are by city and street address or by
phone number rather than alphabetical by last
name.
•International Research
• Availability of sampling frames varies
dramatically around the world.

Sampling Units
•Sampling Unit
• A single element or group of elements subject
to selection in the sample.
• Primary Sampling Unit (PSU)
◗ A unit selected in the first stage of sampling.
• Secondary Sampling Unit
◗ A unit selected in the second stage of sampling.
• Tertiary Sampling Unit
◗ A unit selected in the third stage of sampling.

Random Sampling and Nonsampling Errors
•Random Sampling Error
• The difference between the sample result and the
result of a census conducted using identical
procedures.
• A statistical fluctuation that occurs because of
chance variations in the elements selected for a
sample.
•Systematic Sampling Error
• Systematic (nonsampling) error results from
nonsampling factors, primarily the nature of a
study’s design and the correctness of execution.
◗ It is not due to chance fluctuation.

•Less than Perfectly Representative
Samples
• Random sampling errors and systematic
errors associated with the sampling process
may combine to yield a sample that is less
than perfectly representative of the
population.

•Probability Sampling
• A sampling technique in which every member
of the population has a known, nonzero
probability of selection.
•Nonprobability Sampling
• A sampling technique in which units of the
sample are selected on the basis of personal
judgment or convenience.
• The probability of any particular member of the
population being chosen is unknown.

How Much Does Your Prescription Cost?
It Depends on Who You Buy It From
16-17

found that prices for the
same prescription could
vary as much as $100!

Nonprobability Sampling
•Convenience Sampling
• Obtaining those people or units that are most
conveniently available.
•Judgment (Purposive) Sampling
• An experienced individual selects the sample based
on personal judgment about some appropriate
characteristic of the sample member.
•Quota Sampling
• Ensures that various subgroups of a population will
be represented on pertinent characteristics to the
exact extent that the investigator desires.

American Kennel Club Tries to Keep Pet
Owners out of the Doghouse

Club (AKC) used quota
sampling in a Dog
Ownership Study.
•Sampled 500 dog
owners and 500 non-
owners.

themselves as more
laid-back and happy
than non-owners.

Nonprobability Sampling (cont’d)
•Possible Sources Of Bias
• Respondents chosen because they were:
◗ Similar to interviewer
◗ Easily found
◗ Willing to be interviewed
◗ Middle-class
•Advantages of Quota Sampling
• Speed of data collection
• Lower costs
• Convenience

Nonprobability Sampling (cont’d)
•Snowball Sampling
• A sampling procedure in which initial
respondents are selected by probability
methods and additional respondents are
obtained from information provided by the
initial respondents.

Probability Sampling
•Simple Random Sampling
• Assures each element in the population of an equal
chance of being included in the sample.
•Systematic Sampling
• A starting point is selected by a random process and
then every nth number on the list is selected.
•Stratified Sampling
• Simple random subsamples that are more or less equal
on some characteristic are drawn from within each
stratum of the population.
23. © 2013 Cengage Learning. All Rights Reserved. May not be scanned, copied or duplicated, or posted to a publicly accessible website, in whole or in part. 16–23
•Proportional Stratified Sample
• The number of sampling units drawn from
each stratum is in proportion to the
population size of that stratum.
•Disproportional Stratified Sample
• The sample size for each stratum is
allocated according to analytical
considerations.

• An economically efficient sampling technique in
which the primary sampling unit is not the
individual element in the population but a large
cluster of elements.
• Clusters are selected randomly.

Multistage Area Sampling
•Multistage Area Sampling
• Involves using a combination of two or more
probability sampling techniques.
◗ Typically, geographic areas are randomly selected in
progressively smaller (lower-population) units.
◗ Researchers may take as many steps as necessary to
achieve a representative sample.
◗ Progressively smaller geographic areas are chosen
until a single housing unit is selected for
interviewing.

College Life

• Stress and tension can impact
students when they first arrive at
school.
• Students were surveyed when
they arrived and at the end of the
first year.
• It’s not good to engage in
negative coping behaviors or
have perfectionist tendencies.
• Better to be optimistic and
socially oriented.
• Used a panel approach to assess
change that occurred within a
sample of students over time.
