Disadvantage

The biggest disadvantage of this form of recruitment is that it is not random. As such, it is unclear whether panelists’ characteristics, as well as their views, are representative of the population. The recruitment method produced a list of participants who were more likely to be women, older, and better educated, but the misrepresentation on demographics was not greater than the bias observed for recruitment processes that included a random selection component (see Table 4.1). However, as mentioned, demographic representation does not mean attitudinal representation. Given the recruitment method, the greatest concern is that these participants were more politically aware than non-participants. The participants were largely recruited through the Oldman Watershed Council electronic mailing list and thus were a group already engaged with the political process. In addition, they may have had homogeneous views on climate change and water issues, because they were largely recruited from a single community organization.
