Activity 2

A new influence that perhaps could be classed as an advantage or a disadvantage depending on your point of view is the insider knowledge of the subjects that you are conducting your primary data research on or thinking of conducting your primary data research on. I believe that this is a distinct advantage as it enables you to make more informed choices/ informed conclusions when either planning or analysing your research, for example when trying to put together a group of subjects/ participants that are truly representative of the type of persons/ group of persons that your research is about (your ‘sample’), your insider knowledge will help choose the subjects/ participants in order to make sure that they are truly representative group in order to help ensure the validity or your results.
