Sexuality Research
As Kinsey and others discovered to their cost, sex research is fraught with problems for researchers and must be managed carefully. In recent decades the US Congress cut or threatened the funding for two national surveys of sexual behavior: a study of massage parlor workers and a study of sexual risk‐taking, among other topics. And those who publish research invite trouble, as the University of Minnesota Press found when it published Judith Levin…
Embodied Resistance
Kiss and Tell
Learning the details of others' sex lives is possibly the most enticing of guilty pleasures. We measure our own practices against the normalcy sex surveys seek to capture. Special interest groups often use or attack survey findings (such as the claim that 10% of Americans are gay) for their own ends. This text chronicles the history of sex surveys in the USA over a century of changing social and sexual mores. It reveals that the survey questions …

With enough cases, why do you need statistics? Revisiting Kinsey's methodology
The 50th anniversary of Kinsey's Sexual Behavior in the Human Male provides an opportunity for a reexamination of Kinsey's methodology. I start with a discussion of Kinsey's approach to science and move on to his research question, his sampling method, and the composition of the sample. Next, I address questionnaire design, interviewer training, and interviewing, allowing for a comparison of Kinsey's methodology with more conventional approaches.…
Women's Employment and Changes in Family Structure
This article examines the impact on women's employment of the changing demographic structure of the family. Using log linear techniques and data from the 1960 and 1970 censuses, our findings modify earlier research and have implications for the future. Key findings include a decline in the effect of marital status on women's employment; no decline in the effect of child status; a more complicated relationship between race and employment status th…

Fertility patterns and trends among the Old Order Amish
Using statistics from an Amish census, a survey of couples, and a family genealogy, we examine trends in Old Order Amish fertility during this century. We also examine factors which might explain variations in fertility. We find that Amish fertility has remained high and that there is no evidence of a downward trend. Comparisons with Hutterite fertility show that while marital fertility rates are similar for young women, the rates for older Amish…
The Division of Family Roles
In this paper, we analyze the marital role division between 1,212 couples taken from a probability sample of the Philadelphia urbanized area. We concentrate on the division of household tasks, of child care, and of paid employment. Using log linear techniques, we examine the effects of a variety of variables measuring social networks and the relative status of husband and wife. Data show support for a marital power model with husband's income neg…
An Analysis of the Journey to Work for Women
The basic argument of this paper is that the journey to work has a different meaning for women than for men. Unlike men, women's Home-role requirements are important predictors of the length of their journey to work. Data from the NLS survey of women aged thirty to forty-four are examined. The main findings are that women with demanding home roles have shorter journeys to work, and that, although black women have longer journeys to work than whit…
