Abstract

This study investigates the impact of unique sampling techniques on the evaluation of customer threat perception. Because hazard perception affects consumer decision-making and market behavior, it is critical for businesses and legislators to comprehend it. To determine their efficiency in capturing images from different angles, the study contrasts possibility-based tactics (like stratified sampling) with non-chance techniques (like convenience and quota sampling). Statistical tools were used to analyze data from different patron companies in order to evaluate the validity, reliability and potential biases of each method. Results show notable variations in outcomes, highlighting the critical role that sampling strategy plays in the accuracy of research. The study offers recommendations for choosing suitable approaches, which enhances the rigor of consumer risk or alpha risk research.
