Smallest pre-Kinsey study
Some research studies have been too small to appear as regular references in the literature.
Kinsey himself
identified on 19 studies of sex behaviour which are in any sense taxonomic. Of these the
smallest were based on
data gathered by a probation officer who interviewed a hundred boys who were passing
through a juvenile court
in Seattle, on interview returns from a hundred handicapped females, and on data derived from
a study "of 40
superior single men." This latter investigation, the smallest of the nineteen cited by Kinsey,
was based on single
males between 21 and 30 years of age and for the most part superior college graduates from
Universities in
Eastern Massachusetts. "Because of the uniformity of the population, the results are better
than such a small
sample might be expected to give."
