Sampling methods in qualitative sampling in multicultural settings

This chapter explores the complex field of application of qualitative sampling techniques in the context of multicultural settings, covering both probabilistic and non-probabilistic sampling approaches. It recognises the importance of capturing the diversity and distinctiveness of multicultural populations and describes the intricacies of sampling in culturally diverse settings. It also explores the different challenges and considerations that arise when applying each method in different ethnic, linguistic and cultural contexts. Moreover, it emphasises the importance of aligning sampling methods with research objectives, context-specific considerations, and ethical principles. By providing practical information and guidance, the chapter equips researchers with the necessary tools to effectively navigate the complexities of qualitative sampling in multicultural settings.
