摘要本文试图说明 ,从作为大多数中国内地问卷调查研究之基础的对中国人口的非代表性抽样能够 (及不能够 )推出什么结论。显然 ,出于方便而选择的一个或几个地区内的被访问的中国人样本 ,不能可靠地代表研究者感兴趣的更大的总体。本文指出 ,原则上没有理由认为地区样本是“个案研究”。尽管我们不能依靠来自地区样本的数据沿着任何单一的维度去描述更大的总体 ,这种非代表性并不一定影响有关变量之间关系的研究结果的可推广性。 This article sets out what can (and what cannot) be inferred from the unrepresentative samples of the Chinese population that are the basis for most survey research conducted in China's Mainland. Clearly, a sample of Chinese interviewed in a locality or localities selected for convenience does not reliably represent a larger population of interest. This article shows that, in principle, there is no reason to think of local samples as 'case studies'. While data from local samples cannot be relied on for descriptions of a larger population along any single dimension, this unrepresentativeness does not necessarily affect generalizability of findings about relationships between variables.
