Advocates of basic research argue that the more <u>basic</u> the principle being studied, the <u>less</u> it matters who participates in the study in terms of sample representativeness.
<h3>What is representativeness?</h3>
In the field of qualitative research, representativeness refers to the need for a sample to be collected using methods reliant upon probability. A sample is also said to be representative, when the small sample, after being tested, exhibits traits consistent with or similar to the larger group.
<h3>Why is representativeness important in research?</h3>
If the sample is not representative of the larger population, then there is sure to be a bias in the results of the research.
