摘要：

Three investigations of the mercury-in-rubber (MIR) strain gauge were completed to study its mensural properties under typical laboratory conditions. Study I found that basal penile circumference measurement was highly reliable (r=.94); Study II showed that at full erection reliability was somewhat lower (r=.75). Study III compared MIR circumference measures to videotaped records of erectile angle. The two measures were generally highly correlated over the initial arousal phase but were less so once circumference reached its asymptote. Overall, the MIR strain gauge can be used with some confidence, especially if its limitations are carefully considered. © 1979 Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy.
