本研究旨在验证有关颜色偏好性别差异的发现，并通过寻找与性取向相关的颜色偏好可能存在的差异来扩展这一研究领域。根据北美大学生的大量样本，发现了显着的性别差异，主要差异是男性比女性更偏爱蓝色色调。另一方面，女性比男性更喜欢绿色和蓝色。关于性取向，我们发现异性恋者和同性恋/双性恋者之间没有显着差异。换句话说，男性和女性同性恋者/双性恋者表现出与异性恋者基本相同的颜色偏好配置。 (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
The present study was undertaken to verify findings surrounding sex differences in color preferences, and to extend this realm of inquiry by looking for possible differences in color preferences associated with sexual orientation. Based on a large sample of North American college students, significant gender differences were found, with the main difference being a greater preference for shades of blue by males than by females. Females, on the other hand, tended to be more evenly divided than males between preferring both green and blue. Regarding sexual orientation, we found no significant differences between heterosexuals and homosexual/bisexuals of either gender. In other words, male and female homosexuals/bisexuals exhibited essentially the same configuration of color preferences as did their heterosexual counterparts. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd.
