The thesis presents available theoretical basis for examination of sensitive issues in sociology and draws attention to measurement errors in sociological surveys. Further the analysis of discrepancy in respondents' reports of number of lifetime sexual partner is conducted. For the purpose of the analysis the data from Survey of sexual behavior, accomplished by prof. Petr Weiss, PhD. and docent Jaroslav Zvěřina CSc. in 1993, 1998, 2003 and 2008, is employed. The text summarizes available explanations of discrepancy, which are further used for clarification of an incongruity in the data from Czech republic. First an outline of the means of number of lifetime sexual partners for men and women is presented and a reduction of the dataset by extreme values is implemented. The analysis deals with effects of commercial sex on the discrepancy, detects whether men and women respond differently on other sensitive attributes and reveals whether answer strategies are sex-linked. The dataset of female respondents was used for testing the social desirability hypothesis. Finally the SAQ mode data from Survey of sexual behavior are compared with the outputs of the face-to-face interview mode survey.
