A SURVEY EVALUATION OF THE KINSEY REPORT.

The article discusses a survey evaluation of A.C. Kinsey report. In order to obtain an overall evaluation of the A.C. Kinsey research project from a group of qualified psychologists, a mailed questionnaire was sent to every Fellow member of the Division of Clinical and Abnormal Psychology of the "American Psychological Association." A few criticisms were to the effect that the Kinsey interpretations were not in accord with his published data. In all such comments not a single specific example was cited, and therefore no evaluation can be made or is demanded of such generalized criticisms. Some criticize Kinsey for not exploring certain concepts inherent in certain theories of psycho-sexuality. Kinsey clearly describes the purpose of his study as being a fact-finding survey of what people do sexually.
