I don't know anything about a sexual survey by Watson. He did have a problem, early in his career, staying faithful to his first wife. Not as well known as the affair with Rayner that forced him to leave Johns Hopkins is the earlier affair that had forced him to leave Chicago for Baltimore (see Kerry Buckley's biography of Watson, _Mechanical Man_). > It is my understanding > that Watson got in trouble for that and landed on Wall Street Madison Avenue, actually. He worked advertising for the J. Walter Thompson advertising company. Apparently he wasn't really the great success in that business that is often attributed to him in psychology textbooks (see Coon, D. J. (1994). "Not a creature of reason:" The alleged impact of Watsonian behaviorism on advertising in the 1920s. In J. T. Todd and E. K. Morris (Eds.), Modern perspectives on John B. Watson and classical behaviorism (pp. 37-63). Westport, CT: Greenwood Press.) Chris --- Christopher D.
