==Topics covered==

Although capable in a range of psychological topics - notably communication and persuasion - Bruce Rind is best known for his controversial studies of intergenerational sexuality - particularly [[pederasty]] in its historical and modern contexts.

==[[Rind et al|1998 Meta-analysis]]==

Published by Rind in 1998, [http://www.ipce.info/library_3/rbt/metaana.htm A Meta-Analytic Examination of Assumed Properties of Child Sexual Abuse Using College Samples] collated data from previous studies, concluding that:

:''"Self-reported reactions to and effects from CSA indicated that negative effects were neither pervasive nor typically intense, and that men reacted much less negatively than women. The college data were completely consistent with data from national samples. Basic beliefs about CSA in the general population were not supported."''

The study was condemned by a number of conservative Talk Radio hosts and then formally so by the [[US]] house of Congress.
