In some types of research the target population might be as broad as all humans, but in other types of research the target population might be a smaller group such as teenagers, pre-school children or people who misuse drugs.

It is more or less impossible to study every single person in a target population so psychologists select a sample or sub-group of the population that is likely to be representative of the target population we are interested in.

This is important because we want to generalize from the sample to target population. The more representative the sample, the more confident the researcher can be that the results can be generalized to the target population.

One of the problems that can occur when selecting a sample from a target population is sampling bias. Sampling bias refers to situations where the sample does not reflect the characteristics of the target population.

The evolutionary theory that suggests that a species can suddenly and rapidly evolve into a new species is ?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<span>Punctuated Equilibrium/ Equilibria proposes that once species appear in the fossil record, the population  will be in the state of little or absent morphologic change. This is called a state of stasis. The theory further proposes that the population is confined to infrequent and geographical rapid events when significant evolutionary change happens.  The parent species will the split into two distinct species. This process if called cladogenesis.</span>

What are possible benefits of studying Biology?
IRINA_888 [86]
Science means to know. Biology is the study of living things.
You understand a lot more of the function of the body (EMT, healthcare, diseases, etc.)
animals (veterinary work,etc.) You will understand the intro into genetics, and the ways in which the sun and plants directly influences our entire world.
Biology is a form of science that is pretty broad, and at the same time a form of science you can use in every day life of understanding the basic things that happen around you (in culture, family, news, environment, behavioural, etc.)
Biology is also a great way to get your feet wet into basic science- a launching pad for chemistry, physics, etc. Hope this helped. :)
