Abstract
Sources (2) of possible error in restrospective accounts, particularly of human sexual behavior were identified. Previous warnings about the use of recall data were reviewed. The variety of ways and the circumstances under which faulty recall and falsified accounts can influence research findings were elaborated. With care in data collection and analysis, these problems need not preclude the use of recall data in survey research.This publication has 18 references indexed in Scilit:
