We examined the sexual double standard (SDS) toward sexually active gay men and lesbian women and the role that participants' masculinity and femininity played in their evaluations. We hypothesized that there would be a reverse SDS in which highly sexually active lesbian women would be evaluated positively and highly sexually active gay men negatively, with both being evaluated more negatively than less sexually active gay men and lesbians. We also hypothesized that masculinity would moderate this effect, with participant masculinity being positively related to stronger negative evaluations of highly sexually active gay targets and more positive evaluations of highly sexually active lesbian targets. Results indicate a weak SDS in the areas of likability and morality, with highly sexually active lesbians being liked by masculine participants the most and highly sexually active gay men being rated as the least moral. The SDS appears to be influenced by expectations of gender roles and may be reversed for gay men and lesbian women because of these expectations.
我们研究了针对性活跃男同性恋者和女同性恋者的性双重标准（SDS），以及参与者的男性气质和女性气质在他们的评价中所起的作用。我们假设会存在一种反向的性双重标准，即性活跃程度高的女同性恋者会得到积极评价，而性活跃程度高的男同性恋者会得到消极评价，且两者都比性活跃程度较低的男同性恋者和女同性恋者得到更消极的评价。我们还假设男性气质会调节这种效应，参与者的男性气质与对性活跃程度高的男同性恋目标的更强负面评价以及对性活跃程度高的女同性恋目标的更积极评价呈正相关。结果表明，在受欢迎程度和道德方面存在微弱的性双重标准，性活跃程度高的女同性恋者最受具有男性气质的参与者喜欢，而性活跃程度高的男同性恋者被评为最不道德。性双重标准似乎受到性别角色期望的影响，并且由于这些期望，对于男同性恋者和女同性恋者可能会颠倒过来。
