Reliance on available subjects or convenient sampling is the method used in this scenario as the researcher is collecting data from individuals who are easily available and accessible to them. Although this method may not be representative of the entire population's attitudes towards premarital sex, it is practical and cost-effective for the researcher to carry out the survey in this manner.
