    Non-probability sampling refers to sampling techniques where individuals are selected from a population in a process that does not give all individuals an equal chance of being selected. It is often used due to limitations in time, money, and resources that make randomly sampling the entire population difficult. Some common types of non-probability sampling include convenience sampling, which selects easily accessible individuals; quota sampling, which aims for proportionate representation based on traits; and judgmental sampling, where the researcher purposely selects specific individuals. The results of non-probability sampling cannot be generalized to the entire population.

    Non-Probability

    Sampling
    Non-Probability Sampling

    Non-probability sampling is a sampling technique where the samples are


    gathered in a process that does not give all the individuals in the population
    equal chances of being selected.
    Most researchers are bounded by time, money and workforce and because of
    these limitations, it is almost impossible to randomly sample the entire
    population and it is often necessary to employ another sampling technique,
    the non-probability sampling technique.
       In contrast with probability sampling, non-probability sample is not a
    product of a randomized selection processes. Subjects in a non-probability
    sample are usually selected on the basis of their accessibility or by the
    purposive personal judgment of the researcher. 
       The downside of the non-probablity sampling method is that an unknown
    proportion of the entire population was not sampled. This entails that the
    sample may or may not represent the entire population accurately.
    Therefore, the results of the research cannot be used in generalizations
    pertaining to the entire population.
    Types of Non-Probability Sampling
    Convenience Sampling
    • Convenience sampling is probably the most common of all sampling
    techniques. With convenience sampling, the samples are selected because
    they are accessible to the researcher. Subjects are chosen simply because
    they are easy to recruit. This technique is considered easiest, cheapest and
    least time consuming.
    Consecutive Sampling
    • Consecutive sampling is very similar to convenience sampling except that
    it seeks to include ALL accessible subjects as part of the sample. This
    non-probability sampling technique can be considered as the best of all
    non-probability samples because it includes all subjects that are available
    that makes the sample a better representation of the entire population.
    Quota Sampling
    • Quota sampling is a non-probability sampling technique wherein the
    researcher ensures equal or proportionate representation of subjects
    depending on which trait is considered as basis of the quota. For example,
    if basis of the quota is college year level and the researcher needs equal
    representation, with a sample size of 100, he must select 25 1st year
    students, another 25 2nd year students, 25 3rd year and 25 4th year
    students. The bases of the quota are usually age, gender, education, race,
    religion and socioeconomic status.
    Judgmental Sampling
    • Judgmental sampling is more commonly known as purposive sampling. In
    this type of sampling, subjects are chosen to be part of the sample with a
    specific purpose in mind. With judgmental sampling, the researcher
    believes that some subjects are more fit for the research compared to other
    individuals. This is the reason why they are purposively chosen as
    subjects.
    Snowball Sampling
    • Snowball sampling is usually done when there is a very small population
    size. In this type of sampling, the researcher asks the initial subject to
    identify another potential subject who also meets the criteria of the
    research. The downside of using a snowball sample is that it is hardly
    representative of the population.
    When to Use Non-Probability Sampling
    This type of sampling can be used when demonstrating that a particular trait exists in the
    population.
     It can also be used when the researcher aims to do a qualitative, pilot or exploratory study.
    It can be used when randomization is impossible like when the population is almost limitless.
    It can be used when the research does not aim to generate results that will be used to create
    generalizations pertaining to the entire population.
     It is also useful when the researcher has limited budget, time and workforce.
    This technique can also be used in an initial study which will be carried out again using a
    randomized, probability sampling.
