Blasius, Jörg; Thiessen, Victor – Sociological Methods & Research, 2021
Identifying illicit behavior in survey research is inherently problematic, since self-reports are untrustworthy.

This article explores how Dutch physical education (PE) teachers discursively construct body differences between students related to gender, (dis)ability and health.
