Advantages of Matched Over Unmatched Opt-in Samples for Studying Criminal Justice Attitudes: A Research Note (2020, methodology): “…is that any relationship between sample selection and the outcome variable(s) is spurious, due to common causes of both, such as respondent demographics, and that adjusting for these confounders through matching and weighting renders selection independent of the outcome (Thompson & Pickett, 2019).”
