Participants were recruited either for a study of sexual attitudes and behavior or for a study of attitudes and behavior without mention of sexuality. Both groups answered questions about their sexual behavior and completed the Self-Monitoring Scale, the Balanced F Scale, and the Social Responsibility Scale. No differences were found as a function of recruitment technique in the mean reports of subjects' sexual behavior, but substantial differences were found in some of the relationships between these personality variables and sexual behavior reports as a function of recruitment technique; the correlation between the balanced F Scale score and masturbation frequency for females was +0.61 for those recruited for a study of sexual behavior and -0.61 for those recruited for a study of general attitudes and behavior. In both groups, larger correlations were found between female sexual behavior and personality than between male sexual behavior and personality. In all groups, the Self-Monitoring Scale was significantly correlated with masturbation frequency. The results are discussed in terms of self-selection bias and self-presentation bias, both of which may affect research on sexuality.
参与者要么被招募来参与一项关于性态度和行为的研究，要么被招募来参与一项未提及性取向的态度和行为研究。两组都回答了关于他们性行为的问题，并完成了自我监控量表、平衡F量表和社会责任量表。在受试者性行为的平均报告中，未发现招募技术对结果有差异，但在这些人格变量与性行为报告之间的一些关系中，发现了因招募技术而产生的显著差异；对于那些被招募来参与性行为研究的女性，平衡F量表得分与自慰频率之间的相关性为+0.61，而对于那些被招募来参与一般态度和行为研究的女性，该相关性为-0.61。在两组中，女性性行为与人格之间的相关性比男性性行为与人格之间的相关性更大。在所有组中，自我监控量表与自慰频率显著相关。结果从自我选择偏差和自我呈现偏差的角度进行了讨论，这两种偏差都可能影响性取向研究。
