Explain the "tearoom trade" study of Laud Humphreys
What will be an ideal response?
Students should demonstrate knowledge by explaining that the ‘tearoom trade' experiment was a famous research study in which the researcher observed men engaging in sexual acts in a public bathroom, and then tracked the men down one year later to conduct covert interviews. There has been much controversy regarding Humphreys' study. The subjects never consented; deception was used; and the names could have been used to blackmail subjects, to end marriages, or to initiate criminal prosecution.
