Media Effects
Convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling technique where individuals are selected based on their easy availability and proximity to the researcher. This method relies on using participants who are readily accessible rather than employing random selection, which can lead to bias in data collection. It is often used in research when time or resources are limited, but the representativeness of the sample may be compromised, affecting the validity of public opinion measurements.
