  4. Researcher’s Hypotheses • Men are expected to be more comfortable than women with all hook-up behaviors. • Each gender is expected to know the gender-specific strategy of the other gender. • Individuals of each gender are predicted to know the gender-specific strategy of their own gender. Reiber, C., & Garcia, J. R. (2010). Hooking up: Gender differences, evolution, and pluralistic ignorance. Evolutionary Psychology, 8(3), 390-404.

  5. Methods and Survey • 507 participants in total • 70 item questionnaire • 11-point scale • 3 questions asked Reiber, C., & Garcia, J. R. (2010). Hooking up: Gender differences, evolution, and pluralistic ignorance. Evolutionary Psychology, 8(3), 390-404.

Results • Hypothesis #1 Supported: Men reported higher comfort levels in regards to allsexual behaviors within a hook-up context. • Hypothesis #2 Supported: a.)Women attribute to men higher comfort levels for all forms ofsexual behavior than menreport about themselves.   b.) Men attribute to women lower comfort levels for all forms ofsexual behavior • Hypothesis #3 Supported: Men attribute to women lower comfort levels for all forms of sexual behavior Reiber, C., & Garcia, J.

  8. Critical review items Interesting Weak/Unclear • Women exhibited symptoms of sexual assault • Men have incorrect assumptions about women • Hard to generalize and participants who responded may have influenced results • Self-reported measure • Scale was confusing Reiber, C., & Garcia, J. R. (2010). Hooking up: Gender differences, evolution, and pluralistic ignorance. Evolutionary Psychology, 8(3), 390-404.
