Description Behavioral research in accounting deals with the behavior of accountants. As such, it uses accounting subjects. Accounting subjects are very difficult to come by because of the nature of the accounting environment. First, professional accountants operate in a pressured environment in...

A type of cluster sampling usually applied to a population in a specific spatial area with well-defined political or natural boundaries but without a detailed sample frame; population is divided into homogeneous clusters from which a single-stage or multistage sample is drawn Area sampling is...

Explanation The number of stages involved in the sampling method is partially a function of the number of sampling frame available. If a perfect frame were always available complete with all the associated information one might want for purposes of clustering and / or stratifying, there would...

Definition The target population is divided into mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive subpopulation called clusters. Then a random sample of clusters is selected based on probability sampling techniques such as simple random sampling. For each selected clusters, either all the...

Definition A probability sampling technique that uses a two-step process to partition the population into subpopulations, or strata is known as stratified random sampling. Elements are selected from each stratum by a random procedure. Explanation Stratified Random Sampling emerges from the word...

Definition A probability sampling technique in which the sample is chosen by selecting a random starting point and then picking every ith element in succession from the sampling frame. Explanation In systematic sampling, the sample is chosen by selecting a random starting point and then picking...

Definition A probability sampling technique in which each element in the population has a known and equal probability of selection is known as simple random sampling (SRS). Every element is selected independently of every other element and the sample is drawn by a random procedure from a...

A variety of procedures. Initial respondents are selected by probability methods. Additional respondents are obtained from information provided by the initial respondents. 5. Purposive sample Subjects selected on the basis of specific characteristics or qualities. Users of a particular...

Definition A non probability sampling techniques that is a two stage restricted judgmental sampling. The first stage consists of developing control categories or quotas of population elements. In the second stag, sample elements are selected based on convenience or judgment. Explanation • It is...

Definition A form of convenience sampling in which the population elements are purposively selected based on the judgment of the researcher. Explanation A judgment sample is one in which there is an attempt to draw a representative sample of the population using judgmental selection procedures...

1. Sampling units are selected by chance. 2. It is possible to pre-specify every potential sample of a given size that could be drawn from the population, as well as the probability of selecting each sample. 3. Every potential sample need not have the same probability of selection, but it is...

Sampling techniques may be broadly classified as non-probability and probability sampling techniques. Non-probability sampling techniques: 1. It relies on the personal judgment of the researcher rather than t he chance to select sample elements. 2. The researcher can arbitrarily or consciously...

1. When the information is needed on every unit in the population such as individuals, dwelling units or business establishments, a sample survey cannot be of much help for it fails to provide information on individual count. 2. Sampling gives rise to certain errors. If these errors are too...

1. Sampling is cheaper than a census survey. It is obviously more economical, for instance, to cover a sample of households than all households in a territory although the cost per unit of study may be higher in a sample survey than in a census. 2. Since magnitude of operations involved in a...

The Sampling Process Step Description 1. Define the population The population is defined in terms of a) element, b) units, c) extent and d) time. 2. Specify sampling frame The means of representing the elements of the population – for example telephone book, map, or city directory – are...

• Door-to-Door sampling Whisper have done door-to-door sampling, sampling through schools, newspapers, etc. even now after so many years of its launch it does sampling because of the new target base that gets added every year. Pantene also does door to door sampling.
