The effects of subliminal stimulation on masculinity-femininity ratings of a male model were tested for 100 male undergraduates, randomly divided into four groups and individually shown a slide of a male model. One group received no further stimulation. A second group received a subliminal flash of white light across the image of the model; a third group was presented with the subliminal message "masculine," while a fourth group was presented with the subliminal message "feminine." Subjects were asked to rate the model on a six-point scale of masculinity-femininity. The differences in ratings among groups were not significant, indicating that subliminal stimulation did not influence masculinity-femininity value-norm-anchor judgments. There were no significant differences in the reported perception of additional stimuli or the tendency to be relaxed among the four groups. However, subjects who received the "masculine" message and reported that they were more relaxed did tend to rate the model higher in masculinity.
对100名男性本科生进行了测试，以研究阈下刺激对男性模特阳刚-阴柔评分的影响。这些学生被随机分成四组，每组分别观看一张男性模特的幻灯片。一组未接受进一步刺激。第二组在模特图像上接受阈下白光闪烁；第三组接收阈下信息“阳刚”，而第四组接收阈下信息“阴柔”。要求受试者根据六点阳刚-阴柔量表对模特进行评分。各组评分之间的差异不显著，表明阈下刺激并未影响阳刚-阴柔价值-规范-锚定判断。四组在报告的对额外刺激的感知或放松倾向方面没有显著差异。然而，收到“阳刚”信息并报告感觉更放松的受试者确实倾向于给模特的阳刚程度评更高的分。
