Describe the sampling technique and outline how you would apply this technique: Random
All members of a chosen population have the same chance of being selected. This is through giving every men ever a number then the sample is generated through a random number generator
Describe the sampling technique and outline how you would apply this technique: Systematic
A systematic sample is when every nth member of the target population is chosen for the sample. For example: chosen every 5th house down a street
Describe the sampling technique and outline how you would apply this technique: Stratified
The amount of people are representative for each population. For example: if 40% of the population support Man City and the sample size is 100 then 40 people in the sample would need to support Man City
Describe the sampling technique and outline how you would apply this technique: Opportunity
The researcher just asks random people who are willing and available at the time of the study . They’ll simply ask whoever is around them at the time
Describe the sampling technique and outline how you would apply this technique: Volunteer
People select themselves for being part of the sample. The researcher must put an add in a newspaper or a notice board
What order do these points go in the method of a report on psychology and what do they include? Participants Procedure Materials Design
Design - Experimental design, IV and DV
Participants - Target population and how you obtained your sample
Materials - Mention a pilot study of one is used and basic materials
Procedure - The precise procedure you followed
