The importance of matching researchers to participants demographics

Gathering representative data requires matching researchers to appropriate participants. Many businesses make the mistake of creating social research on the convenience of sampling participants rather than using the most appropriate demographics or candidates. This means that few researchers achieve sample studies that represent the general population.

This creates invalidity in many social studies. As our population grows, we are becoming increasingly ethnically diverse. There is a combination of political and economic forces in all communities across the globe, attributing to a shift in our society. Globalization has improved access to travel, which means that as a society, we are becoming more and more diverse year on year. For a social study to represent this diverse community, it would need to get down to business and use a wide range of ethnicities, sexualities, genders, etc., in its participant research. 

Using the right demographics in research means capturing and representing the opinions of different people, which is essential.
