What is Standardization?
Selecting individuals from the population who are representative of that population.
How do we use Probability Sampling?
1. Ensure that participants will cooperate.
2. Acknowledge them the purpose of the study.
3. Guarantee that they will be treated ethically.
Mention 3 purposes of the permission.
Record individuals emotional responses.
Behavioral Observations

2. Construction.
3. Quantitative evaluation.
4. Validation

How do we use Nonprobability Sampling?
Is a statement that participants sign before they participate in research.
