Convenience sampling refers to the process of gathering information from a sample that is conveniently available to the researcher (family members, friends in social media). This is not a random sampling method because not all of the members have the same probability to be selected.

Using convenience samples to develop constructs and scales can be risky.

From the definition, we can say that using convenience samples to develop constructs and scales can be risky since <u>the information gathered by using this sampling does not necessarily represent the characteristics of the population (since it was not chosen at random).</u>

It is a time-consuming process when there are a large number of respondents.

This is not a time-consuming process but is actually easier to gather information this way rather than by other methods.

It is commonly used in the later stages of research.

This process is a gathering of information process and it takes place at early stages of the research

The representativeness of the sample can be measured because sampling error estimates are not calculated

As we said before, this is not a random sample and therefore it is not necessarily a representative sample.

It is commonly used to generalize results to the target population.

Although probably our sample shares some characteristics with our target population, this sampling is not used to generalize results to the target population.

Which is an example of a latent function of education?

Tema [17]

<h2>An example of a latent function of education is: making bunch of friends in school, knowing the value of friendship.</h2>

Explanation:

Latent functions of education are unintentional and unrecognized functions. Going to school, interacting with adults and following the established rules are considered as Latent functions.

Going to a school and getting educated, where skills, knowledge and character are being molded and developed are the manifest function of the school.

While studying in school, we make bunch of friends as we know the values of friendship. These are the unintended and unconscious functions but at the same time they are beneficial functions transmitted by school. This is the latent function of school.

Negative peer pressure is a form of peer pressure to do something that would have negative effect to your life. Since being talked into volunteering into people in need would bring positive effect to your life, this whole situation would be considered as a positive peer pressure.

2. That statement is false

Flattering other people because we want something from them is considered as a manipulation, not a harassment.

To be considered as a harassment, that people need to create a certain level of discomfort or intimidation due to offensive action or language. If the person is genuinely flattered, we can't consider it as a harassment.

3. That statement is false

The best course of action to deal with high-pressure situation is to use our Refusal skills.

Refusal skills refers to our ability to disengage/avoid being involved in necessarily risky behavior. This skill is very important in high-pressure situation.

Aggressive skills tend to be more appropriate to be used in less-risky situations.

4. That statement is true

Assertive people operates on their own standard of principles and they are unwilling to compromise those principles under any circumstances.

They are willing to stand their ground to anyone who challenge their principles even if it can create some sort of damage to their personal relationship. Because of these characteristics, most people see assertiveness as a desired trait for a leader.

5. That statement is true

Through dating , we will have more time to observe our partner's behavior due to the amount of time that we spend together. IN the long run, this will help us feel more comfortable with that other person and we will start to understand the general principle/moral values that our partner held.

6. That statement is true

Both decisions would have their own advantage disadvantage.

Begin dating would help them learn about how to develop close/intimate relationship with other people, but it would take a lot of their time.

Remain abstinent would help them focus on their academics, but it would damage their social status and make it harder for them to connect with others when the do need one.

7. That statement is true

What make a certain action or behavior 'risky' is the fact that it would trap us in uncertain situations that can damage/destroy our life at any moment.

By planning ahead, we can identify each risks and think about positive and negative value that we can get before hand. This would eliminate the 'uncertainty' and help us avoid the behaviors that had high probability of damaging our life.
