By repeating a sample several times and getting individual means for each of the samples, a sample mean can be calculated. Sampling distribution is the pattern of variation among possible values. We are considering the pattern of variation represented in a mean. If one has a mean of a certain set of data, one can calculate the standard deviation of certain values, or how variant a value is from the true average. Furthermore, if one has several means representing several samples, one can then calculate the standard error or the deviation from the mean of means.
Standard error is therefore, only the standard deviation of the larger set of means.
The sampling error describes how far each sample's mean lies from the true mean. The sampling error is an example of sampling distribution of the sample mean. Although sampling error appears to be a magnification of standard deviation, they are very different. For example, standard deviation is a lot more general than sampling error. Since several sample's means are relatively close in value, the sample mean will be closer to the true average than a mean gathered from a wide variety of values in a single sample.
