Self-Selected Sample |
Volunteers (easy to get, but is less diverse) |
|
Haphazard Sample |
People off the street (hard to re-create, less diverse, easy to get) |
|
Opportunity Sample |
A group that already exists (like a class) |
|
Random Sample |
Every person in pop. has equal chance of being selected |
|
Stratified Sample |
Random sample broken down by variables. Every sub-group has a chance. |
|

|
True Experiment |
Change an IV, Measure DV, Control, Random Allocation to conditions |
|
Quasi Experiment |
