Alfred Kinsey is a huge scientific figure who poses ground breaking, large-scale, intervening research. His primary goal is to gain sex history with thousands of people across the United States. In his research we find a sampling bias. His interviewing criterion is as follows:
- White (Caucasian)
-Middle Class (well educated)
- Many were actually prisoners, prostitutes.
The research he did was very carefully collected information and done in a very systematic way.
I love the idea Kinsey had. I feel that gaining knowledge about sexual activity is beneficial to know as a society. I also love how he was careful as to which information to gather. We watched a clip from the film Kinsey and in the film I noticed Kinsey was particular about who even did the interviews which I thought was very respectable. He made sure the interviewers had no bias in the way that they asked the questions which i am sure made the world of difference because making the chosen people being interviewed comfortable would be crucial in obtaining accurate outcomes. Overall I loved this video and Kinsey's ideas.
