Sequential Sampling as a Technique in Sociological Surveys

Abstract: This paper describes the application—for the first time so far as the authors are aware—of sequential sampling techniques to survey investigations in sociological research. The procedure is illustrated by two applications involving comparisons of the data under review with available national characteristics and one test of a specific hypothesis regarding expected correlations within the survey data. It is argued that a more general application of this type of procedure in the field of sociological enquiry will result not only in a substantial saving in resources but also has the advantage of encouraging a more rigorous formulation of theoretical problems at an early stage in the research.
