SEX SURVEYS - METHODOLOGICAL PROBLEMS
1) PURPOSEFUL DISTORTION
2) ABILITY TO REMEMBER
3) ABILITY TO ESTIMATE
4) COST

Human Sexual Response (1966) 694 people studied males - ages 21-89 females - ages 18-78 Mostly medical students Medical View of the
sample - the processes observed assumed to be normative

Advantages & Disadvantages of Masters & Johnson’s methods
Sophisticated technology Sampling problems “Unnatural” laboratory setting Direct observation: No self-report
problems

Quasi-ExperimentsSome Important Characteristics of
Real Experiments: Manipulation, Control, Random Assignment, Systematic Measurement
Why “Quasi”? ---You can’t manipulate gender.

Design of Heiman’s Quasi-Experimental Study
erotic &

Manipulations of story content:
Crossed with this matrix of manipulations was the gender of the participant

Two Types of MeasuresUsed in Heiman’s Study
Physiological Self-Report
![Page 19: Methodologies used to Study Human Sexual Behavior Surveys Clinical Studies Quasi-Experiments](https://reader030.vdocuments.site/reader030/viewer/2022032704/56649d545503460f94a31802/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Results from Heiman’s Study
Explicit sex was most arousing for both men and women
Female-initiated/female-centered scenarios were most arousing for both men and women
When physiological measures indicated that women were aroused 1/2 failed to report it
