Computerized Assessment of Sexual Behavior
When an interviewer-administered questionnaire (IAQ) is used in sex research, the human element involved in a face-to-face encounter can influence the respondent to underreport certain sensitive behaviors and to overreport more normative or socially acceptable behaviors (Dolezal et al., 2011; Potdar & Koenig, 2005). A written or self-administered questionnaire (SAQ) provides an alternative survey method […]
Dual Politics: The Example of the Feminist Movement
I am now in a position to present an alternative to Habermas’s interpretation of the dualistic logic of contemporary feminist movements. I have argued that the primary targets of the new social movements are the institutions of civil society.

Feminism

Electronic Devices for Measuring Sexual Arousal
Experimental research and direct-observation studies of human sexual responses often use measures of sexual arousal. In the early years of sex research, investigators had to rely largely on subjective reports of these responses. However, advances in technology over the last few decades have produced several devices for electronically measuring arousal (see I Figure 2.1). The […]
