LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Define nonprobability sampling, and describe instances in which a researcher might choose a nonprobability sampling technique.

Qualitative researchers typically make sampling choices that enable them to deepen understanding of whatever phenomenon it is that they are studying. In this section we’ll examine the strategies that qualitative researchers typically employ when sampling as well as the various types of samples that qualitative researchers are most likely to use in their work.
