    Students welcome.

    Post homework and project questions. Work through problems towards solutions. Come back several times and discuss.

    Don't just ask for final answers in original post, and leave to never return.

    Also collect data for student degree-related research (surveys, interviews, etc.).

    Discuss methodologies, including measurements, data coding, analysis, results, and conclusions.

    Defend and discuss your reasoning.

    This is for student learning, not business or marketing purposes (latter should contact hello@boards.ie).

    Howdy folk,

    I,ve a question on sampling. I'm not great on research methods, so some advice is greatly appreciated.

    I'm writing up my methodology section, and getting different feedback from supervisor that I'm unsure of. I'm looking to find out if my sample is purposive,or stratified randomised or have I mixed both approaches.

    Basically, I divided my population up into their work titles/ positions, so, it was structured in a hierarchical way. I then chose a random person out of each group for data collection. So it basically covered the entire population, at each level of the organisation. In my mind I used a stratified randomised sample? Am I incorrect?

    thanks

    Sounds right to me...

    How did you chose the random person from each group?

    how big was your population? how many strata?

    Population was 300! There was 4 strata, basically just picked out of a hat.

    I'm just finishing a year out, going into third year so haven't done anything research related in terms of the Psychotherapy aspect yet but do have a MA in Applied Social Research so some experience on research. Sounds good to me so far. Sounds like you are going the quantitative route? Any particular reason why you chose quantitative over qualitative? Just curious.

    No it's actually a qualitative approach, quantitative wouldn't have given me access to the type of questions I needed to answer, and I didn't want to use a convinence sample
