A qualitative researcher who is attempting to provide findings from multiple diverse viewpoints on a phenomenon would most likely subscribe to which of the following?
A) Deviant case sampling
B) Typical case sampling
C) Criterion case sampling
D) Confirming case sampling
A
Feedback:
Deviant case sampling would provide multiple diverse viewpoints. Extreme (deviant) case sampling provides opportunities for learning from the most unusual and extreme informants (e.g., outstanding successes and notable failures). Typical case sampling involves the selection of participants who illustrate or highlight what is typical or average. Criterion sampling involves studying cases that meet a predetermined criterion of importance. Confirming cases are additional cases that fit researchers' conceptualizations and strengthen credibility.
