AB  - In  the  process  of  defining  a  research  question,  the  researcher  must  also  decide  who  will  be  studied.  The  goal,  of  course,  will  be  to  make  generalizations  beyond  the  individuals  studied  to  others  with  similar  conditions  or  characteristics.  Generalization  is  basic  to  all  types  of  research,  where  scientists  continually  draw  conclusions  about  human  behavior  and  the  environment  based  on  limited  experiences  and  measurements.  The  purpose  of  this  chapter  is  to  describe  how  the  responses  of  a  small  representative  group  can  be  used  with  confidence  to  make  predictions  about  the  larger  world.
