Individual differences in susceptibility to cybercrime victimization and its psychological aftermath
2020, Computers in Human BehaviorCitation Excerpt :Previous research has shown that respondents may fail to provide honest answers, even in anonymous settings, for a variety of reasons such as self-enhancement (Vavreck, 2007). Telephone surveys and interviews may place even more pressure on respondents when their responses are recorded (Powney & Watts, 2018), thus further discouraging honest replies, particularly with regard to such sensitive topics as their engagement in morally questionable and/or illegal activities such as viewing child pornography or engaging in certain forms of sexual activity (Marquis, Marquis, & Polich, 1986; Rodgers, Billy, & Udry, 1982). However, this is a common limitation encountered by many self-report methods.
Attitudes Toward the Vaginal Ring and Transdermal Patch Among Adolescents and Young Women
2009, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :Although participants noted that it might be beneficial to use the ring without a partner's knowledge, they also voiced reluctance about using the ring because of fears of negative sexual attitudes of partners. Partner concerns may serve as an additional barrier for women considering this option, as taboos related to masturbation are prevalent among young women and men [20–23]. Fears of the ring getting lost or migrating to distant parts of the body reflect lack of knowledge with respect to reproductive anatomy, which presents a barrier for use of a method requiring insertion into the vagina.

2008, Social Science and MedicineCitation Excerpt :The present analysis draws primarily on the SSI, although survey and ethnographic data are also presented insofar as they provide a context for understanding men's experiences of stigma and disclosure. Research on sensitive topics such as sexuality and HIV/AIDS may encounter threats to the validity of data obtained through self-reported methods (Lee, 1993; Rodgers, Billy, & Udry, 1982; Wight & West, 1999). However, a growing body of scholarly work on HIV/AIDS suggests that ethnographic approaches can reduce these threats by maximizing the researcher's direct interaction with participants in naturally occurring situations, engaging in more informal and open-ended forms of inquiry, and enabling the gradual development of rapport and trust between researchers and participants (Herdt, 2001; Herdt & Lindenbaum, 1992; Parker & Ehrhardt, 2001).
