Correlations between subjective and genital arousal by stimulus type (selected studies, between-subjects)
| Female-centered | Not female-centered | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | Women | Men | Women | |
| Average (r) | .47 | .29 | .65 | .27 |
| 95% confidence intervals | .33 to .62 | .17 to .40 | .45 to .86 | .18 to .36 |
| Samples (K) | 8 | 28 | 20 | 23 |
| Sample size (n) | 209 | 680 | 538 | 526 |
| Number of studies | 5 | 22 | 17 | 21 |
| Homogeneity (Q) | 5.9 | 48.4 | 77.8 | 18.7 |
| p = .55 | p < .01 | p < .0001 | p = .66 | |
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
