Population
The Population is the group of people from whom the sample is drawn. For example if the sample of participants is taken from sixth form colleges in Hull, the findings of the study can only be applied to that group of people and not all sixth form students in the UK and certainly not all people in the world.
Obviously it is not usually possible to test everyone in the target Population so therefore psychologists use sampling techniques to choose people who are representative (typical) of the Population as a whole.
