The researcher will choose potential participants which are only few at the beginning. The chosen participants will recruits more participants, they don't have to give names. This recruitment goes on until the desired sample proportion is reached. The participants will only encourage others to come but that is not forced.

In cases where a research deals with sensitive topics such as cheating, shoplifting, drug use and other deviant societal behaviours, participants may not feel comfortable to come forward. However they may suggest others in similar situation as them and be assured of confidentiality.
