Enjoy your major! If you select your sample right a small sample can still produce accurate results; if you select your sample wrong you can get biased results even with an enormous sample size. It is <em>more difficult</em> to attain biased results with a larger sample though by no means <em>impossible</em> to do so. Sample size is not the be-all and end-all of reliability. cassandra,

Heretic.

What do you mean by richer data, though? Also, at least the way studies are treated in the press, it seems like the usual desired result is generalizability (i.e. "study finds men do this under these conditions"), but maybe that's just the press being weird about studies (which they're kinda big on). I always thought, also, an at least reasonably large sample size was necessary to prevent the data from being unreasonably skewed (I always think of a study that found that 90% of British women opposed one-night stands... but it found this based on 45 women, like, i bet you 50,000 dollars worth of funding I can find you 45 British women who do not oppose one night stands on moral grounds). (Note: I just graduated high school and plan to major in statistics in college, so this is all genuine curiosity on a matter that is of particular interest to me. If there's like, a wikipedia article on "basic laws of studies" by all means send me there :) ) Well, smaller sample sizes allow richer data (if done right), while larger sample sizes allow greater generalizability (in theory, if done right).
