“…The more recent case study by Marshall (2004) is another proof of the benefits of this method of controlling for faking. However, these positive outcomes were not supported in Golde et al's (2000) study: neither previous exposure nor novelty of stimulus had an effect on arousal or suppression ability.…”

“…Chaplin, Rice, and Harris (1995) suggested a combination of audio and still visual stimuli as the most effective discriminator. This was supported by Golde, Strassberg, and Turner (2000), who examined the differences between audio and audiovisual material in a sample of 53 nonoffenders. While both modalities created comparable results in a first session, audio-only material led to lesser arousal in the follow-up assessment, seemingly more affected by habituation effects.…”

“…In this study, subjects had more difficulty consciously enhancing arousal than suppressing it. Unfortunately, it seems that inhibition is difficult to detect when it is done using cognitive techniques such as mental distraction (Marshall & Fernandez, 2003), which is worrying given that Golde et al (2000) reported that these were the techniques which their subjects reported using the most.…”

“…Habituation effects might also be influenced by the stimulus type used; Krisak, Murphy, and Stalgaitis (1981) reported unstable rape indices over time with both visual and audio material, which generated a low overall reliability. Golde et al (2000) found that repeated exposure to audio stimuli led to a greater decrease in arousal response in a second testing than did an audiovisual stimulus combination.…”

“…Card and Farrall (1990) reportedly identified suppression through examining GSR and respiration rate, and Wilson (1998) demonstrated the utility of finger pulse rate as a measure of conscious arousal control. However, Golde et al (2000) reported that deliberate suppression was not identifiable through either GSR or pulse rate. In this study, subjects had more difficulty consciously enhancing arousal than suppressing it.…”

The measurement of human sexuality has recently centered on the dysfunctional and disordered, while the early work was directed at understanding and assessing the human sexual response. This article reviews the development of medical devices and instruments for the assessment and treatment of female sexual function and dysfunction; then our attention is turned to the assessment and treatment of male sexual function and dysfunction, and lastly, we review phallometry and other assessments related deviant sexual interest and arousal in the human male. Tremendous gains have been made in the last 50 years of research and development in the measurement of human sexuality. Unfortunately, these gains have occurred within a context of varied approaches, methodologies, and instruments. Despite several reviews and recommendations, there remain differing instruments, methodologies, and procedures in the physiological assessment of human sexuality. Furthermore, with the advent of more easily administered self‐report questionnaires, many outcome studies now rely on these self‐report measures, often ignoring the physiological aspects of sexual interest, arousal, and functioning. Further complicating research in this area is the lack of representativeness of human sexuality research volunteers in comparison with “normals”. Thus, we are left with an indeterminate field; what research we have may be based in part on participant variables, a lack of standard instruments in methodologies and procedures, which impedes cross‐study comparisons, and on continuing advances in technology, leading to the promulgation of new devices and instruments. There are several reliable, valid, and useful devices and instruments for the psychophysiological assessment of human sexuality, and there is hope that with advances in technology, some of the concerns sounded by the scholars and pioneers in human sexuality research will be addressed.
