A researcher prepares an online survey to study whether teens trust new people they meet on social media. What kind of sampling process could the researcher prefer? Depending on the sampling method, how much can the researcher generalize the findings to all teens in the population? Discuss in detail.
Normally Social science research is generally about inferring patterns of behaviors within specific populations. We cannot study entire populations because of feasibility and cost constraints, and hence, we must select a representative sample from the population of interest for observation and analysis. So here, we need to find out the best sample method for our research i already done a research related with social networking sites, I chose Convenience and Snowball sampling because of this pandemic situation.. But If you need more reliable and avoi bias.. You can select Cluster sampling or Use strata
This certainly sounds like an exam question. As such it would be highly inappropriate to post it here, and I have flagged it for the system moderators to examine.
Random sampling can be the outcome of online-based survey. Social media- based such as Facebook friends can be surveyed.
And then the most appropriate sampling technique can be used is the snowball sampling Method. From each random sample, information about some probable suitable sample respondents can be identified and then surveyed.
