Description	Sexual Preference: Its Development in Men and Women is a 1981 book about the development of sexual orientation by psychologist Alan P. Bell and sociologists Martin S. Weinberg and Sue Kiefer Hammersmith.Bell 1981. pp. iv, 8. It was a publication of the Institute for Sex Research,DeCecco 1982. p. 282. and, together with its separately published Statistical Appendix, the culmination of a series of books including ' (1972) and ' (1978), both authored jointly by Bell and Weinberg. Based on interviews with subjects in the San Francisco Bay Area, Bell et al. found almost no correlation between early family experience and adult sexual orientation and therefore concluded that heterosexuality and homosexuality have a biological basis. Though Sexual Preference is one of the most frequently cited retrospective studies relating to sexual orientation and considered a classic work, its authors′ conclusions and methodology have been criticized on numerous grounds. Critics questioned Bell et al.′s reliance upon path analysis, and pointed out the difficulty and potential unreliability of adult recall of childhood feeling, as well as the vague and general nature of the questions Bell et al. asked their research subjects.
