Within-subject Between-subject Mixed
Average effect size (r) .43 .29 .26
95% confidence intervals .24 to .63 .21 to .37 .02 to .50
Samples (K) 10 50 7
Sample size (n) 133 1,144 88
Number of studies 9 42 6
Homogeneity (Q) 8.1 72.9 2.5
p = .52 p < .05 p = .87

Note: Selected studies refer to basic samples, without experimental manipulations, and with standard external sexual stimuli. A significant Q value means that effect sizes are not homogeneous, suggesting the presence of one or more moderator variables
