Document Summary

Lots of sex information out there is based on misinformation and stereotypes. First goal of sex research is creating basic knowledge and understanding. Second goal is research can be directed toward enhancing our understanding in order to influence sexual behaviour. Third research can be geared toward public policy (such as education curriculum, laws and regulations) Identify appropriate population (population is a group of people researcher wants to study) At times unable to get data from whole population and so a sample maybe taken (part of that population) Should make sure large enough sample and that sample is representative of population.
