In-Class Assignment - 5 minutes
• If you were performing research on human sexuality, which
topic would you pick and what specific research question would
you ask?
• You have 5 min to come up with a specific topic / research
question that you want to investigate
• While we review scientific approaches to studying human
sexuality, think about (and make notes on) the following:
— What research method would you use to answer the research question
you came up with?
? E.g., Interviews, surveys, focus groups, laboratory observation, or
experimentation
— What is your target population and what sampling method would you
use? (i.e., How will you choose participants?)
— Why would you choose the methods that you selected?
