在当代西方社会中，人们普遍认为存在着双重标准，例如男性因性活动而受到奖励，而女性因性活动而受到贬损。这种普遍存在的信念可能会导致确认偏差，即人们倾向于注意到确认双重标准的信息，而不会注意到反驳双重标准的信息。在这两项研究中，参与者阅读了关于目标男性或女性的小插曲，其中包含了关于目标性取向的相同数量的正面和负面评论。参与者回忆起的符合双重标准的信息比不符合双重标准的信息多。
In contemporary Western societies it is widely believed that there is a sexual double standard such that men are rewarded for sexual activity, whereas women are derogated for sexual activity. This pervasive belief may result in a confirmation bias such that people tend to notice information that confirms the double standard and fail to notice information that refutes it. Two studies were conducted to test this hypothesis. In both studies, participants read vignettes about a target man or a woman that contained an equal number of positive and negative comments regarding the target's sexuality. Participants recalled more information consistent with the double standard than inconsistent with it.
