muestreo por conveniencia

Muestreo por conveniencia, or convenience sampling, is a common research method where participants are chosen based on ease of access or availability rather than random selection. This approach saves time and resources, making it practical for quick studies. However, it may not accurately represent the broader population, as the sample might share similar characteristics that don’t reflect diverse perspectives. While convenient, it’s important to recognize that findings from such samples may have limited generalizability and should be interpreted with caution, especially when making broader conclusions.
