Sexuality and the social sciences

de Michel Bozon

In this volume, sociologists, demographers, epidemiologists, social psychologists, statisticians and economists analyse the data of a large-scale multi-disciplinary survey conducted in France. What are the significant factors of sexual behaviour? What part does nationality play in the decisions of individuals? What are the main reactions of men and women to the onset of the new and major risk in sexual activity represented by AIDS? This volume suggests some answers to these fundamental questions, and reports the considerable methodological investment that was made for both collection and treatment of the data.
