Jill is using homogeneous sampling because she is selecting a specific group that shares common characteristics (children of international diplomats from the United States who were in service between 1980 and 1990, aged 8-16, and stationed outside the United States for at least 24 months) to examine their career interests. This method focuses on a particular subgroup within a population to ensure that all participants have similar backgrounds and experiences.
