Matching in Sexual Experience for Married, Cohabitating, and Dating Couples
The present study examined heterosexual romantic partners' number of intercourse partners prior to the initiation of their relationship to determine if a significant positive correlation (matching) occurred between partners, and if this matching was associated with their level of love, satisfaction with, and commitment to the relationship. One hundred and six couples who were dating, cohabitating, or married participated in this study. Results in…
Sexual inferences about female targets: The use of sexual experience correlates
1971). In its most rigid form, this double standard prescribes that women, but not men, refrain from premarital sexual activity and those women who do not abide by this standard are then evaluated more negatively than women who abide by it. In a less rigid form, women may be expected to have premarital sex but only in the context of a loving or romantic relationship. This notion

Informational requests about male and female targets: The importance of sexual information
A growing body of research suggests that many judgments and evaluations about an individual are influenced by information about that individual's sexuality (e.g., sexual experience and sexual attitudes). These include judgments about the desirability of a person as a date and marriage partner (Istvan & Griffit, 1980), interpersonal attraction (Touhey, 1972), and ratings on a series of evaluative traits (Garcia, 1982). Furthermore, the findings se…
Sex differences in sexual arousal to different erotic stories
Previous research on sex differences in arousal to erotic stimuli suggests that the pattern of dominant behavior exhibited by the characters in the stimuli influence males' and females' sexual response to the stimuli. In this study, an erotic story describing a male and a female engaging in sexual activity was presented to male and female college students. The story varied the sex of the dominant character and whether the description focused on t…
Sexual evaluation of women with feminist attitudes
A study was conducted to investigate whether subjects make inferences about a female's sexuality based on her attitudes toward feminist issues. Based on the idea that both attitudes toward feminist issues and toward sexual traits are components of prototypes about females, it was hypothesized that females who expressed nontraditional attitudes on various feminist issues would be rated higher on a number of sexual traits than females who expressed…
Perception of sexual experience: The impact of nonverbal behavior
Sexual stereotypes and attributions about sexual arousal
A study was conducted to examine whether the attribution‐making process can serve as a mechanism through which stereotypes about female sexuality are maintained. Forty‐three female and 45 male subjects were given information about the sexual experience (high or low) of a male or a female target and then shown the target's sexual arousal to a variety of sexual stimuli. It was predicted that subjects would make internal attributions about the arous…
Sex-role orientation and stereotypes about male-female sexuality
The effect of affirmative action on attributions about minority group members
In the first study subjects were given information about an applicant to graduate school and asked to rate his qualifications. The information experimentally varied ( a ) whether the school had an affirmative action policy, ( b ) the ethnicity of the applicant, and ( c ) whether the applicant was accepted or rejected. Based on Kelley's discussion of the discounting and augmentation principles, it was predicted that the minority applicant would be…
Reversing Authoritarian Punitiveness: The Impact of Verbal Conditioning
Half of each of two groups of initially high- or low-authoritarian subjects were exposed to verbal conditioning procedures in which the authoritarianism scores of high authoritarians were decreased, while those of low authoritarians were increased. The remaining halves were assigned to control groups in which no conditioning was utilized. All subjects then participated in a simulated jury task in which guilt, sentencing, and parole recommendation…
