Document Summary
Concept is personal relations and we have to come up with dimensions (2) Then come up with indicators and ways of measuring the 2 types of dimensions we come up with. Use the songs to come up with concepts. The process of selecting elements (individuals or artifacts) from a population to observe is called sampling. Sampling is a methodological technique to address resource constraints in research. Probability sampling is the general term for samples selected in accord with probability theory, typically involving some random selection mechanism. Random selection: a sampling method in which each element has an equal chance of selection independent of any other event in the selection process. Element: unit of which a population is comprised and which is selected in a sample. Distinguished from a unit of analysis, which is used in data analysis. Sampling frame: the list that describes the entire population from which some elements will be sampled.
