According to methodological experts, such as Rosenthal and Rosnow (1975; 1991), what are
some recruitment strategies that researchers can use to increase participation and better ensure
a representative sample while maintaining ethical integrity?
What will be an ideal response?
A variety of strategies could address this question. When recruiting subjects using
advertisements, the information in the ad should communicate the general purpose of
the study, the importance of the research, and language should be crafted in neutral
terms. For example, "Parenting Study" is a better ad title than "Parenting Stress Study".
When communicating to potential participants directly, one should stress the practical
and applied significance of the work. The researcher should consider ways to minimize
risk and ensure that compensation is equivalent to the amount of work required of the
participant.
