Popis: The use of college students as a data source by academicians has been a common practice in marketing research. Students have been used as surrogates for broader population groups because they are readily accessible, manageable and inexpensive to use. The suitability of the use of a sample in this fashion is open to question. This paper reviews the literature and examines suitability of student samples in the area of advertising research.
