boopk chapter
I'm not sure what you mean? Most social scientific studies are not national samples of hundreds or thousands of members. They are usually small data sets designed to incrementally moves science forward. The authors of that chapter have broadend their research beyond what most accepted studies actually do--multi-site data collection. Keep in mind, the chapter is not about the experiences of homosexual members but largely about the attitudes of professes htereosexual members about homosexual members. There are, I believe, a few homosexual/down-low members interviewed. Scholarship has to begin somewhere. Requests for individuals to respond to an on-line survey was sent out across a number of list-serves. Twenty people responded. We get what we can and move from there.
