Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The selection of an appropriate control group is not generally a concern when conducting survey research on sexual orientation and identity, as this type of research is focused on descriptive statistics rather than experimental designs where control groups are needed. However, selection of a representative sample, addressing potential response biases, and understanding participants' interpretations of terms related to sexual orientation are important considerations in this type of research.
