Nonsampling error refers to the omission of participants from research in such a way that the sample used in the research is nonrepresentative of the population. It occurs when sampling systematically neglects some component of the population. This error can occur because it may be easier to study some segment of the population (e.g., hospitalized schizophrenics) than others (e.g., homeless, noninstitutionalize d schizophrenics).
