What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Answer would ideally include one of the following: In maximum variation sampling, the researcher selects cases that differ on an important characteristic. Extreme case sampling focuses on the sampling of an outlying case. Typical sampling involves the selection of a person or site that is typical to outsiders. Theory or concept sampling helps the researcher generate or discover a new theory or concept. In homogeneous sampling, sites or individuals are selected because they possess a similar trait. Critical sampling focuses on individuals or sites that represent in dramatic terms the phenomenon being studied. Opportunistic sampling allows the researcher to sample for new and different information as questions emerge in the study. Snowball sampling relies on participants to recommend other potential participants for the study. Confirming or disconfirming sampling allows the researcher to seek additional data to confirm or disconfirm preliminary findings.
