Kinsey's data has also been criticized on the basis of being non-representative; Kinsey would often purposefully select participants who were more sexually deviant so as to skew the data (he would interview prisoners and then claim that his data was representative of the wider culture for example)" - https://incels.wiki/w/Special:Contributions/197.185.111.11 | |||
:This is all pretty well known.<br>-"Due to the fact that the fifties were much more conservative and prudish, the average civilian typically wasn't receptive to answering questions about their sex lives; thus people who do respond to survey's tend to be more sexually deviant than average."<br>This would also lead to social desirability bias that would underestimate the prevalence of such behavior. So the bias would go both ways, which may lead to a more accurate estimate.<br>"For example Kinsey most notoriosly claimed that 10% of all men are gay (in general estimates of rates of homosexuality don't typically exceed 2% in contemporary survey's)."<br>- This figure tracks with other surveys of self-described participation in homosexual acts, I don't really care what people call themselves but what they do. Exclusive homosexuals seem rare in both sexes. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/apr/05/10-per-cent-population-gay-alfred-kinsey-statistics<br>Probably his estimates were off for some samples but not horribly so. There are still no really good quality studies on this stuff up until the modern era. You could criticize all of them for the same reasons.
