What is another word for convenience sampling?
Pronunciation: [kənvˈiːnɪəns sˈamplɪŋ] (IPA) 
Convenience sampling, also known as accidental sampling or opportunity sampling, refers to a non-probability sampling technique where participants are selected based on their accessibility and availability. Other synonyms for convenience sampling include haphazard sampling, grab sampling, or quota sampling. While convenience sampling is often criticized for its potential biases, it can be a practical and cost-effective method for research studies where time and resources are limited. However, researchers should also consider the limitations of convenience sampling and supplement it with other sampling techniques to improve the generalizability and accuracy of their findings.
