The Scientific Importance With Human Sexuality Research

This is Damian form your Monday's & Wednesday's 12:30 pm class , it came to my attention that there seemed to be some problems relating to the test we just took on chapter 2 of the Human Sexuality class. Personally, im under the impression that i took the new exam although it had no timer applied to it and some of the question's apparent responses seem a little contradictional. On this questions for example # 1; "Which of the following statements regarding the desire phase of sexual response is true?" , #2; In which of the following areas would Masters and Johnson's research on sexual response be least helpful?, #3; Which of the following most accurately describes the plateau phase?, the book clearly states that this is

The first method the textbook brings up is surveys. The textbook describes this method as being a way to reach a larger number participants, and is used to see patterns and relationships among

Among the techniques learned in the course material (Tappen, 2011), the three techniques which could be considered vital in research are first “ well-designed plan for tracking participants” (p. 202), second, “conduct the study in an accessible and comfortable location” (p.202) and third “respect for cultural values, beliefs, and norms” (p.203).

Scientific method utilizes a series of facts, hypotheses, laws, and the theories to explain observations in the natural world. It involves observing, coming up with a hypothesis and make predictions, test those predictions and repeat to find the similar results.

In order to evaluate research projects, and understand their strengths and limitations, it is necessary to first understand which type of research method is being used. First, type your name in the space indicated above. Then classify each of the following research studies as experimental, correlational, or observational/qualitative. Simply type an E, C, or O in the space below each study to indicate type of study. This assignment will be graded on a 100-point scale. Ten points will be deducted for each wrong categorization of a study. The assignment will be worth 3% of your overall grade in the course.

In 1991 the average birth rate for Black females between the ages of 15-19 was 118.2 out of every 1000. An astonishing 11.8% of teenagers were having children. In 2013 the same demographic had a birth rate of 39 per 1000 ("Birth Rates (Live Births) per 1,000 Females Aged 15–19 Years, by Race and Hispanic Ethnicity, Select Years"). This is due to teaching safe sex, and encouraging the use of contraceptives. In order to provide the highest quality future for America’s youth, safe sex needs to be implemented nationwide. This means teaching comprehensive sexual education classes instead of abstinence-only, showing that parents want their children taught safe sex, and impressing the burden teenage pregnancies have on society.

The researcher will look at different methods and decide which should use to gather the information required to answer the hypothesis questions. These methods may both include quantitative and qualitative approach such as interviews, questionnaires, conducting experiments or gathering data through statistic. After choosing appropriate methods, the researcher will investigate possible ethical implications, validity and reliability of the data collected.

I think the most effective way to help kids understand the various possibilities of sexuality is through drawings, cartoons, role-playing games, etc. Children have the tendency to learn better through imaginations (Taylor, 2013). They also have the tendency to learn better when they can visualize it. The concept of sexuality is hard to portray without giving children some form of illustration. I believe human sexuality is a very complex idea to be taught to young kids because there are so many different factors involved. If I were to help young kids to understand the possibilities of sexuality, I would start with telling them how human sexuality is essentially how one perceives and expresses themselves (Rathus, 2013). Then I would go into more details talking about sex, gender, and sexual relationship.

Long go the days of prude and proprietary notions of sexuality, in comes an era of more excepting generation that has accepted (for the majority) all of the twists and turns of sexuality and all of its counterparts. This generation during its liberation has been incarcerated by its own doing, instead of these people being seen as freed, they shamed and sexualized. Hyper-sexualization is defined by the American Psychological Association as “occurring when a person’s value comes only from his or her sexual appeal or behavior to the exclusion of other characteristics” (Jones). By this definition all qualities of a person is negated by their sex appeal. Then how can people hypersexualize children and youth? Aren’t they innately innocent?

Scientific method is the steps used to test out hypothesizes, your guess on the why something is the way it is, such as why something does not work. Scientific method is important because testing out experiments is a sure way to find out why something is the way it is. Science is something you can count on when experimenting.

I do believe that sexuality research is important. As in any health and science field there needs to be reliable information. This information is attained through research. Without scientific facts, everything is then based on hear-say or opinions, no matter if they are actually true or not. There is just no proof. Research is able to show us an unbiased view of things and accurate data. It is able to correct societal misconceptions. Without correct information about sexuality, we are unable to efficiently and accurately educate our students. For example in class, we watched the Alfred Kinsey documentary. In it Dr. Kinsey ran into some issues with the lack of sex research. He had students coming to him and asking if their sexual behaviors were

I really enjoyed the use of psychology to breakdown sexuality. On page 4 it discusses how Freud believed it was geared towards pleasure and not just reproduction. Last semester I watched a video about Freud’s Psychosexual Stages, which discussed how our life experiences play a role in our sexuality.

I think human sexuality is a valid learning experience for college age students because we are all adults and that we get to learn new things about human sexuality that we never learned about.evrytime I read on the text book or on the powerpoins from the human sexuality cours, I learn new things that I never knew. For example , I just learned what is a

Six of the most popular sociological research methods (procedures) are the case study, survey, observational, correlational, experimental, and cross‐cultural methods, as well as working with information already available.

The studies of sex have been a physiological study for over multiple centuries. Researchers such as psychologist John Watson, gynecologist Robert Latou Dickinson, and biologist Alfred Kinsey have all studied areas and/or ideas about sex. One researcher also is known to be a famous author, decided to also research and find a team of well-known researchers to discover the secret to amazing, mind-rippling sex (Roach 298.) Through interviews, traveling, and personal experiments, Mary Roach found that she believes “sex is far more than the sum of its moving parts” (Roach 128). Sex is far more than just the functions of each organ used in intercourse. In the book Bonk, Mary convinces her husband to partake in a lab research experiment for her to personal experience and understanding of research tools that were used in the past. After the experience, Mary claims the atmosphere and emotion of sex resemble nothing of what actually goes on during the time the couple is intimate alone and at home (Roach 128). The environment in which sex research is being done can help determine the outcome of the results. For example, the romance and adrenaline produced in the attic of Kinsey house can be different than romance and adrenaline produced in a lab as well as in the couple 's own house. Where the intimacy is taking place can cause a lack of adrenaline as well as performance. Emotions and hormones produced during sex changes can impact the results of the experience causing unreliable
