Phenomenologists tend to rely on very small samples of participantstypically 10 or fewer. Grounded theory researchers typically use theoretical sampling in which sampling decisions are guided in an ongoing fashion by the emerging theory. Ethnographers make numerous sampling decisions, including not only whom to sample but what to; decision making is often aided by their key informants who serve as guides and interpreters of the culture. One type of unstructured observation is participant observation, in which the researcher gains entre into a social group and participates to varying degrees in its functioning while making in-depth observations of activities and events.
