Rezensionen

"This very welcome addition to the literature is a comprehensive resource that delineates important issues inherent in conducting human sexuality research, while providing a thoughtful examination of approaches to address them. Its investigative and prescriptive tones are well-balanced and the text quite skillfully walks that fine line between providing a methodological primer for the sexuality research novice and a critical review for the established sexuality researcher....The chapters have an honest, critical, and educational tone, reviewing limitations of suggested approaches, offering other suggested readings and sources, and never positioning themselves as the last word on a topic."
Archives of Sexual Behavior

"...this book provide[s] a creditable review of experimental design and analysis as well as regression and covariance structure modelling."
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society

"this is a volume that should be on the shelves of any sex researcher or sex researcher-in-training....Every chapter contains a wealth of information....It is valuable either as a reference source or as a book to read from cover to cover."
Contemporary Psychology APA REVIEW OF BOOKS

"This book represents a significant contribution to the field. There is a burgeoning need for good sex research, and this is an excellent guide. I am impressed with the quality of the scholarship and contributing editors. This is an invaluable resource and highly recommended for all sex researchers."
Eli Coleman

"...it will make a contribution, and it will set the standard for other books on methods of sexuality research...I would certainly purchase the book myself and require it of students working under my direction in conducting sexuality research."
