Okay so what the fuck is this question want me to answer: "What type of sample was used in this research?"

It is in relation to a study that was done to determine if violent video games cause aggressive tendencies  bassir;

EXPERIMENT 1
Method
Forty-three male and 32 female undergraduates participated in
this experiment.
First, a blood pressure cuff was placed on each
participantâ,,,s nondominant arm. The participant was told that the
study was designed to evaluate different types of media. In-
structions for playing the randomly assigned video game were
given, and the participant played the game for 20 min. Total
points earned and, when applicable, the number of pedestrians
killed (body count) were recorded by the experimenter from a
separate monitor. The participant then completed the State
Hostility Scale (SHS; Anderson, Deuser, & DeNeve, 1995). This
involves rating various feelings (e.g., â,˜â,˜I feel furious,â,,,â,,, â,˜â,˜I feel
aggravated,â,,,â,,, â,˜â,˜I feel angryâ,,,â,,,) using a 5-point scale ranging from 1
(strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The participant also
rated the video game on various dimensions (difficult, absorbing,
action-packed, arousing, boring, enjoyable, entertaining, ex-
citing, frustrating, fun, involving, stimulating, violent, and ad-
dicting). Finally, the participant was probed for suspicion and
debriefed. Blood pressure and pulse measurements were taken
before any tasks (baseline), during completion of the SHS, and
after all tasks were complete.
