Abstract

This study investigated whether lying was a factor in research on sexuality among 1902 black South African first-year students. Consenting students completed structured questionnaires comprising 3 subject areas of biographical/career, sexuality, and political violence, each followed by an attitude scale. Subjects were more comfortable and truthful while completing the biographical/career and sociopolitical violence scales than the sexuality scale.
