Përmbledhja	Field-based theoretical sampling is an iterative qualitative sampling strategy in which decisions about whom to observe or interview next are made during active fieldwork, guided by emerging theoretical insights from the data already collected. Rooted in Glaser and Strauss's grounded theory, it extends theoretical sampling into naturalistic, in-situ field settings — ethnographic sites, clinical environments, organizational contexts — where data collection and analysis proceed simultaneously.	Maximum variation sampling is a purposive qualitative sampling strategy in which the researcher deliberately selects cases that span the widest possible range of variation on dimensions central to the study. The goal is not statistical representation but the identification of common patterns that cut across diverse cases as well as the documentation of the unique ways each context shapes the phenomenon under investigation.
