Sampling and Data Saturation Sampling involves selecting representatives of a larger population to use in research, while data saturation is the process of sampling that is done until no new information can be collected and the researcher achieves redundancy (Polit & Beck, 2020). Activities for Reflexivity and Trustworthiness An activity for reflexivity includes critical self-reflection done to analyze personal beliefs and values that can influence the process of collecting data and interpreting.
