本研究调查的有效性刻板印象的性别差异的偏好异性着色。采用性别选择问卷调查了482名白人女大学生和549名白人男大学生对异性眼睛颜色、头发颜色和肤色的好恶程度。结果表明，性别差异的喜欢和不喜欢的所有三个功能。男性表示更喜欢更轻的女性着色，而女性表示更喜欢更深的男性着色。这些结果进行了讨论的“真理的核心”的刻板印象的假设，并可能与早期的研究颜色和性别词的语义意义。特别关注的是，男女双方都对红头发的人非常反感，以及这项研究对理解当代美国黑人与白色人通婚中黑人男性/白色女性占主导地位的可能影响。
The present study investigated the validity of stereotyped beliefs about sex differences in preferences for opposite sex coloration. The likes and dislikes of 482 female and 549 male Caucasian college students for eye color, hair color, and complexion color of the opposite sex were investigated by means of a sexual selection questionnaire. Results indicated sex differences in both likes and dislikes for all three features. Males indicated somewhat greater preference for lighter female coloration, while females indicated somewhat greater preference for darker male coloration. These results were discussed in terms of the “kernel of truth” hypothesis of stereotyping, and the possible relationship to earlier research on semantic meanings of color and gender words. Special attention was paid to the tremendous aversion of both sexes to redheads, and to the possible implications of the study for understanding the predominance of black male/white female couplings in black-white interracial marriage in contemporary America.
