Multispecies networks: visualizing the psychological research of the Committee for Research in Problems of Sex.

In our current moment, there is considerable interest in networks, in how people and things are connected. This essay outlines one approach that brings together insights from actor-network theory, social network analysis, and digital history to interpret past scientific activity. Multispecies network analysis (MNA) is a means of understanding the historical interactions among scientists, institutions, and preferred experimental animals. A reexamination of studies of sexual behavior funded by the Committee for Research in Problems of Sex between the 1920s and the 1940s demonstrates the applicability of MNA to clarifying the relations that sustained this area of psychology. The measures of weighted degree and betweenness can highlight which nodes (whether organisms or institutions) were particularly "central" to this network. Rats featured as the animals most widely studied during this period, but the analysis also reveals distinct institutional and disciplinary cultures where different species were favored as either surrogates for humans or representatives of more general biological groups.

Carney Landis and the psychosexual landscape of touch in mid-20th-century America.

In the last quarter of the 1930s, Carney Landis, an associate professor of psychology at Columbia University affiliated with the Psychiatric Institute of New York, headed a Committee for Research in Problems of Sex-funded research project in which he conducted interviews with 100 women between the ages of 18 and 35 who self-identified as physically disabled. Landis interviewed the women about their sex lives, their sexual identities, and their relationship to their bodies and published the results in 1942 under the title The Personality and Sexuality of the Physically Handicapped Woman. The book represents conventional psychosexual presumptions about disabled women's stunted personality and frustrated sexuality stemming from the absence of a Freudian "sexual moment." Yet, the original research notes, housed at the Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, reveal that many of these women engaged in acts of erotic touching that played a far more dynamic and complex role in the development of their sexual subjectivities than Landis or his researchers could recognize. This article examines how touch and tactility produced meanings for Landis' research subjects and thus illuminated forms of sexual subjectivity not regularly associated with either histories of disability or histories of sexuality.

Problems of sex and the problem with nature: A commentary on “Beyond Kinsey”.

In this commentary on the three articles in the special section "Beyond Kinsey: The Committee for Research in Problems of Sex and American Psychology," I focus on the implications of each author's analysis for understanding scientific constructions of sex and sexuality by examining the complex intersection of sex and nature. I show how each paper illuminates the ways nature was deployed by researchers investigating one of the most intimate yet most political aspects of being human. What did they count as "natural" when it came to sex and sexuality? What did they exclude or overlook? What political and moral work did the rhetoric of "the natural" do?

Sex and Behavior

With nearly 600 pages and some 23 contributors, this book constitutes the end product of two international conferences held in 1961 and 1962 at the University of California in Berkeley under the sponsorship of the Committee for Research in Problems of Sex. The contributors, all leaders in their fields from all over the world, represent a wide variety of disciplines ranging from anthropology to zoology, including embryology, endocrinology, genetics, and ethnology. Psychiatry and some clinical disciplines are represented in the seven articles bearing directly on human sexuality, even though problems in sexual behavior are viewed in evolutionary perspective. This multidisciplinary book expresses an ambitious attempt to bring together and interrelate widely scattered research methods, findings, and theoretical interpretation. Comparison of final results brings to light that there are several basic problems common to all the disciplines and also that techniques and interpretations developed by investigators in one field have direct

Religiosity, Sexual Gratification, and Marital Satisfaction in the Middle Years of Marriage

This study of a group of husbands anid wives in the middle years of marriage investigated the relationship between sexual enjoyment and marital satisfactioni of those high on religiosity and those low on religiosity. The maj or finding was that religiosity reduced the impact of wonmen's lack of sexual gratification on their general marital satisfaction. This did not occur with the men. These findings are consistent with those of a study of the early years of mza rriage. A number of studies have found a correlation betweeln sexual gratification in marriage ancd evaluations by busbands and wives of the over-all success or failure of their marriage.1 In a previous article by Wallin12 it was argued that this correlation would obtaini to a lesser degree for persons witlh a religious orientation than for the more secular ninlded. This would follow, it was suggested, fromn the tendency of organizations concerned witlh religious training and activity to *This is one of a group of articles reporting studies of questions relating to the sexual behavior of menand women before and after marriage.

Religiosity, Sexual Gratification, and Marital Satisfaction

THIS article reports a study of effect of religiosity on relation between sexual gratification and marital satisfaction. One of distinguishing features of marriage is that it is a relationship in which socially sanctioned sexual intercourse is engaged in with some regularity and, particularly in early years, with considerable frequency. Consequently, it could be presumed that more gratifying sexual activity, greater would be participants' satisfaction with their marriages. This conclusion follows from assumption that gratification from a significant, frequently recurring activity contributes to satisfaction with total relationship of which activity is a part. It is likely that tendency for satisfaction with marriage to be influenced by sexual gratification is reinforced in contemporary American society by numerous sources that promulgate idea that sexual gratification is essential for a happy, satisfactory marriage. It is reasonable to suppose, therefore, that sexual gratification would enhance, and that non-gratification would decrease, women's and men's positive feelings about their marriages as a whole. Research has shown that positive correlation between sexual gratification and marital satisfaction inferred from assumptions advanced above does indeed obtain.' It seems evident, however, that insofar as this correlation is due to marital dissatisfaction stemming from a lack of sexual gratification, it would not obtain (or would do so to a lesser degree) among persons with a diminished sexual drive or among those who have a normal sex drive but for whom a compensatory mechanism is operative. This compensation may be achieved through enhancement of value to individual of a non-sexual component of marital relationship. A sexually dissatisfied wife may, for example, attach increased significance to esteem she derives from her husband's prestige or to material comforts his income makes possible. The enhancement of these, or other non-sexual satisfactions, may serve to attenuate expected negative effect of woman's lack of sexual gratification on her satisfaction with marriage. In addition to individual sources of substitute gratification, here, as in other areas of life, society possesses institutional arrangements with accompanying value structures that serve to mitigate effects of personal distress. One is led in present instance, to consider immediately role of religious organizations and religious beliefs, and this for two reasons. First, religious beliefs and activity have provided and undoubtedly continue to provide for many persons both consolation for distress (i.e. the consolation of religion) and positive gratification (i.e. the peace that passeth all understanding). Secondly, these ministrations are associated with an other-wordly outlook that depreciates-at least relatively to secular orientations-the pleasures of world and *This is first of a number of articles reporting findings of a study dealing with questions relating to sexual behavior of men and women before and after marriage. I am grateful for support given study by Rockefeller Foundation and Social Science Research Council. The study was also supported in part by a grant from Committee for Research in Problems of Sex, National Academy of Sciences-National Research Council. I am indebted to Ernest W. Burgess with whom I collaborated on longterm investigation of engagement and marriage in course of which data of sex study were collected. For their work on various phases of study I owe thanks to Fred Chino, Alexander Clark, Jan Howard, and Don Mills. 'See Lewis M.
