研究发现，男性比女性更容易将性的含义归咎于他人的行为。然而，很少有研究探讨男性和女性对某些行为的性内涵的看法相同，但对其他行为的看法不同的可能性。在第一项研究中，162名男性和186名女性大学生（主要是白人）对男性和女性目标的27种行为中的每一种暗示性交欲望的程度进行了评估。多变量方差分析显示，而男性认为所有，但两个女性目标行为比女性更性感，男性和女性不同的性内涵的男性目标行为只有大约一半的看法。因素分析显示，男性和女性的目标行为的三个因素，反映世俗的约会行为，浪漫的行为，和性行为。相对于女性，男性认为只有平凡的约会行为更性感，尽管回归分析显示这些影响受到受试者对女性的态度的调节。研究2调查了性相关态度（例如，性别角色刻板印象、对抗性性信念、强暴迷思接受）会缓和被试对行为的性内涵的知觉。男性，特别是那些赞同传统的、与性相关的态度的人，比女性更有可能将性意义归咎于这些行为。这对约会情况的影响进行了讨论。
Research has found that men impute more sexual meaning to others' behavior than do women. However, little research has examined the possibility that men and women share perceptions of the sexual connotativeness of certain behaviors but diverge in their perceptions of other behaviors. In Study 1, 162 male and 186 female undergraduates, predominantly Caucasian, rated the degree to which each of 27 behaviors of male and female targets connoted a desire for sexual intercourse. Multivariate analyses of variance revealed that, whereas men perceived all but two of the female target behaviors more sexually than women, men and women differed in their perceptions of the sexual connotativeness of only about half of the male target behaviors. A factor analysis revealed three factors for both male and female target behaviors, reflecting mundane dating behaviors, romantic behaviors, and sexual behaviors. Relative to women, men perceived only the mundane dating behaviors more sexually, although regression analyses showed these effects to be moderated by subjects' attitudes toward women. Study 2 examined the extent to which sexually relevant attitudes (e.g., sex role stereotyping, adversarial sexual beliefs, and rape myth acceptance) moderate subjects' perceptions of the sexual connotativeness of the behaviors. Men, particularly those who endorsed traditional, sexually relevant attitudes, were more likely than women to impute sexual meaning to the behaviors. The implications of this for dating situations are discussed.
