| Term | Definition |
| Response rate | The proportion (percentage) of those invited to participate in a research study who actually do so. |
| Row percents | Percentages in a table that add across to 100 percent. |
| Rule for computing percents | If the independent variable is the column variable, the percents should sum down to 100; if the independent variable is the row variable, the percents should sum across to 100. |
| Rule for interpreting percents | Compare in the direction opposite to the way the percents sum to 100. |
| Sampel | Pendapat Sugiyono, sampel adalah bagian dari jumlah dan karakteristik yang dimiliki oleh populasi tersebut. Contoh: Karena jumlah populasi tidak diketahui tidak terhingga, maka jumlah penentuan sampel dilakukan berdasarkan pendapat Nares K. Malhotru (1993:622), yang menyatakan bahwa jumlah sampel atau responden paling sedikit empat atau lima kali jumlah sub variabel/item yang digunakan dalam penelitian.

| Sample | 1. A subset of population elements. In some usages, contrasts with population. 2. a selection of units from a population (universe). Of particular importance is how the sample was selected (see simple random sample [SRS]). 3. subset of the population used for study. |
| Sampling | 1. The practice of choosing a subset of population elements to study instead of the entire population. In general, we sample because (a) it's cheaper; (b) in some cases the population is theoretically infinite. There are two basic kinds of sampling: probability and non-probability. 2. The process of selecting a subgroup of a population to represent the entire population. There are several different types of sampling, including: |
| Sampling bias | Distortion that occurs when a sample is not representative of the population from which it was drawn. |
| Sampling Error | 1. A difference, due to sampling, between a population parameter and the corresponding sample statistic. For example, the average age of a population might be 25 years, but a given sample might yield an average of 26 because, by chance, more old people were selected than the population proportion. 2. The fluctuation in the value of a statistic from different samples drawn from the same population. 3. Random or unsystematic error resulting from selecting a sample from a population. 4. the error in estimates of a population due to the variation possible in samples |
| Sampling Frame | 1. The sampling frame is a specific list of names (or other identifying codes) of the cases to be sampled. Usually, this is supposed to be the same as the population. For example, when you study IBM, you start by obtaining a list of all IBM employees. This is the sampling frame. If your list is not complete (e.g., it omits top management), your results may not be valid in the sense of generalizing to all of IBM. 2. A list of the entire population eligible to be included within the specific parameters of a research study. A researcher must have a sampling frame in order to generate a random sample. |
| Sampling Ratio | The sampling ratio is the size of the sample divided by the size of the population. |
| Scale | composite measures of variables that form a pattern logical/or empirical. Scores thus indicate a pattern not just a sum of component variables, e.g. Bogardus social distance scale. |
| Scientific laws | Generalized laws that are always true and can be used to predict future events. |
| Scientism | Knowing how to investigate without any understanding of what it is. |
| Secondary analysis | a form of research where data collected by others, researchers, government agencies or organizations for their own purposes is used for a different research purpose e.g. the officially collected census and criminal justice data used in this module for research purposes. |

Hmm, it’s have been a while (a while???) since last time i wrote here. Skripsi is Indonesian terminology for a formal and lengthy research paper, especially a work of original research written in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a bachelor’s degree. I’m not sure about the equal English terminology for the Indonesian phrase strata satu, bachelor is the closest possible word that came into my mind. Whatever it is, with so many things in my mind, trying to share it with the entire world. :) |
