B3 – Explanation of the Universe and Sample Structure

An analysis conducted without clearly defining “who you are studying” in a study loses its scientific power.

In this booklet, the definition of the concepts of universe and sample, their differences and how they should be written in the method section are explained with examples.
It explains step by step how to draw the boundaries of the universe, which is the main audience targeted by the research, and what elements the definition of the sample obtained from this universe should include.

Main topics covered in the fascicle:

Distinction between general universe, target universe and sample

How the sample size is determined and its justification

Writing format of sampling criteria (age, gender, institution, etc.)

Sample universe and sample writing examples

The text evaluation questions and writing exercises at the end of the fascicle aim to enable the student to provide a clear and appropriate sample definition in the method section.
