Sensitivity Analysis-Based Purposive Sampling

Sensitivity analysis-based purposive sampling extends conventional purposive sampling by systematically testing whether key findings or case-selection decisions change when the inclusion criteria, selection logic, or boundary conditions are altered. It applies the logic of sensitivity analysis — standard in quantitative research and systematic reviews — to qualitative case selection, giving researchers explicit evidence of how robust their purposive choices are to plausible alternative selection rules.
