Psychology of the scientist: LXXXIII. An assessment of Herek's critique of the Cameron group's survey studies.
Herek's criticisms of the research on sexuality by Paul Cameron's research group are evaluated. While the Cameron group's research has many limitations, these limitations are not uncommon in contemporary research, especially research that concerns specialized, hard-to-find populations. The best response from a scientific perspective, it is argued, is better research, not merely critical comments on existing research.
