25 Jan If a researcher must use convenience sampling for their study, describe how this form of sampling is conducive to self-selection bias and the steps researchers should take (supported by scholarly sources) to reduce this bias
Some people decline to participate in a study because they are too busy, do not like the topic, or are just uninterested. Some people are overly interested and have an agenda to push. This opportunity to choose can create self-selection bias, and it leads to a biased or non-random sample. If a researcher must use convenience sampling for their study, describe how this form of sampling is conducive to self-selection bias and the steps researchers should take (supported by scholarly sources) to reduce this bias.
