Question

Which of the following sampling procedures will be appropriate for conducting researches with empirico-inductive paradigm?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2019 Paper 1 Question Paper (5-Dec-2019) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is

Any of the non-probability sampling procedure

The empirico-inductive paradigm builds theory from observation of particular cases, working inductively from field data toward generalisations. This is essentially the qualitative/interpretive approach, where the researcher purposively selects information-rich cases rather than aiming at statistical representativeness of a defined population.

Such research does not require every element of the population to have a known, equal chance of selection; instead it uses judgemental, purposive, quota, snowball or convenience selection. All of these fall under non-probability sampling. Therefore any of the non-probability sampling procedures is appropriate.

Simple random, systematic and stratified sampling are all probability procedures designed for the hypothetico-deductive, quantitative paradigm where representativeness and generalisation through statistical inference are the goals. They do not fit the empirico-inductive, exploratory logic, so the correct choice is the non-probability option.

Correct answer: Any of the non-probability sampling procedure
