SEX IN AMERICA, A Definitive Survey

Descripción

In 1992, highly regarded social scientists Robert T. Michael, John H. Gagnon, and Edward O. Laumann embarked on an unprecedented study of America's sex life. Working through the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, their staff of 220 interviewers spent seven months interviewing 3,432 scientifically selected respondents about all aspects of their sex lives, histories, and beliefs. More important, unlike the famous but inherently flawed reports of Alfred Kinsey, 'Redbook' and 'Playboy' magazines, Shere Hite, Samuel and Cynthia Janus, and others, this survey relied on a random sample of Americans rather than on an unrepresentative group of volunteers. The resulting data reveal not just what we do sexually but how society shapes even our most private sexual experiences. The survey directly contradicts many of the conclusions of previous reports and defies widely held conventional wisdom about America's sexual practices and beliefs. SEX IN AMERICA presents a comprehensive, reliable look at America's collective sex life, the definitive word on American sexuality today. Fine, in near-fine (front flap crease, else fine), mylar-protected dust jacket. M. N° de ref. del artículo 4521
