人们对男女如何表达性同意知之甚少。在这项研究中，378名大学生女性和男性完成了一份问卷调查，旨在研究他们如何在假设的情况下解释他们的约会对象和他们自己的同意信号，以及他们如何在异性恋情况下实际沟通同意。尽管在对假设约会对象行为的评价上没有性别差异，但梅尔特认为他们自己在假设场景中的行为比女性对自己行为的评价更能代表同意，这表明当女性和男性使用相同的信号时，他们可能意味着不同的事情。在实际情况下，他们如何表示同意方面存在一些性别差异;此外，妇女和男子都报告说，他们最经常以不作反应的方式表示同意性交。性别差异的效应量很小。结果表明，基于性别的关于同意的误解是可能的，但不太可能。因此，沟通不畅不太可能解释强奸。
Little is known about how women and men communicate sexual consent. In this study, 378 undergraduate women and men completed a questionnaire designed to examine how they would interpret their date's and their own consent signals in hypothetical scenarios and how they actually communicate consent in heterosexual situations. Although there were no gender differences in ratings of the hypothetical date's behavior, melt rated their own behaviors in hypothetical scenarios as more representative of consent than women rated their own behaviors, suggesting that women and men may mean different things when they use the same signals. There were some gender differences in how they conveyed consent in actual situations; furthermore, both women and men reported most often showing their consent to sexual intercourse by making no response. The effect sizes of the gender differences were small. The results suggest that gender-based miscommunications about consent are possible but unlikely. Thus, miscommunication is an unlikely explanation for rape.
