Handbook of sexuality-related measures / edited by Robin R. Milhausen [et.al]

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The Handbook of Sexuality-Related Measures has a long and rich history... Here's how it began. On a flight to
Jerusalem in 1981 for the 5th Congress of Sexology, passengers Bill Yarber and Clive Davis were talking about sex
research and Bill expressed his frustration about the difficulty of acquiring standardized sexuality-related measures
from authors of sex research studies. He suggested to Clive that they should edit a compendium of available meas-
ures, and Clive agreed that such a handbook was needed. Seven years later in 1988, Clive M. Davis, William L.
Yarber, and Sandra L. Davis published Sexuality-Related Measures: A Compendium—the first edition of what has
since evolved into the Handbook of Sexuality-Related Measures. Although much has changed in our field, much
also remains the same. Sexual scientists still routinely rely on questionnaire-based assessments of attitudes, behav-
iors, beliefs, emotions, and experiences. And although online scholarly databases have made it easier than ever
before to quickly search for a measure of a given construct, it can be difficult to keep up with the rapid pace at which
measures are published in our field. Researchers therefore face new challenges in efficiently finding either the
go-to classic measures or new up-and-coming assessments within a given field of sexual science. Our new edition
of the Handbook is poised to continue serving the needs of the sexual science community by helping to connect
researchers to the high-quality assessments in their areas of scholarly interest.
