Definitions:

Variable

Any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types and can influence the outcome of scientific research or experiments.

Sampling Bias

A bias in which certain members of a population have a higher likelihood of being included in the sample over others, leading to a non-representative sample.

Generality

The quality or state of being widespread or universally applicable, often used to describe observations or theories that are considered to be true under numerous conditions and contexts.

Findings

The outcomes, results, or conclusions reached through research, experimentation, or analysis in various fields of study.
