How are participants chosen in convenience sampling?

In convenience sampling, participants are chosen based on their availability and willingness to participate in the study. This method involves selecting individuals who are easily accessible and located in close proximity to the researcher or the research setting. Common examples of convenience sampling include selecting participants from a particular geographical area or population, or approaching individuals who are present at a specific event or gathering. While this method is convenient for researchers, it may result in bias or limited generalizability, as the sample only includes those who are available and willing to participate.
