The primary risk involved in this approach to sexuality research is: college students are unlikely to be representative of the general population.

Explanation:

Sexuality research is a research that is conducted to focus on the behavior indicating the psychological well-being and sexual orientation.

Social psychology is the study of focusing the relationship between two persons.

The risk in involving college students for the survey is that they are not the general population. The study or research should be conducted involving the general public. The issue in conducting the sexuality research is that the participant will be hesitant to reveal information.
