西班牙和美国的参与者对问卷中列出的三种常见糖果和三种常见饮料的喜好程度进行了评分。他们还说出了他们最渴望的食物或饮料。在喜好方面的跨文化比较几乎总是与在曝光率上的跨文化比较一致。在这两种文化中，在可以如此归类的受试者中，更多的女性(约5/8)渴望甜食而不是美味，更多的男性(约5/8)渴望美味而不是甜食。在渴望甜食的人中，美国女性的巧克力渴望频率(44.6%)比美国男性(17.4%)高得多，但西班牙人(28.6%和22.2%)没有这种性别差异。研究结果支持甜味/可口渴望性别差异的可能生理基础，但反对巧克力渴望的生理基础。
Spanish and American participants rated how much they liked three common sweets and three common beverages listed on a questionnaire. They also named the food or drink for which they had the strongest craving. Cross-cultural comparisons in liking were almost always consistent with cross-cultural comparisons in rates of exposure. In both cultures, among subjects whose cravings could be so classified more females (about 5/8) craved sweet foods than savories and more males (about 5/8) craved savories than sweets. Among sweet cravers, chocolate craving was much more frequent for American females (44.6%) than for American males (17.4%), but no such gender difference occurred for the Spaniards (28.6 and 22.2%). The results argue for a possible physiological basis for the gender differences in sweet/savory craving but against a physiological basis for chocolate craving.
