A person or object that is a member of the population being studied is referred to as a "subject" or "unit of analysis." In research, this can include individuals, groups, organizations, or specific items that share common characteristics relevant to the study's objectives.

Identifying these subjects is crucial for gathering data and drawing valid conclusions about the entire population.
