Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The population of interest is the group that the researcher wants to generalize the findings to. In this case, Dr. Kramer's population of interest is the students he is currently teaching, as he wants to know how happy they are with his teaching this semester specifically. The other options may be too broad (A, all students at the university) or too narrow (B, only psychology majors and minors, and D, only students in one of his classes).
