A researcher is working with a special population of adolescents with a particular type of
eating disorder.
He reads that the average adolescent with this particular disorder is female,
and from a family system with a particular set of demographics. As he recruits the 50

disorder. Thus, his sample is roughly the same in terms of demographics as what one would
see at the national level. This form of sampling is known as:
A) convenience sampling. B) simple random sampling.
C) quota sampling. D) special sampling.
