Correlations for all independent samples, by sex
| Men | Women | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subjective | Genital | Subjective | Genital | |
| Average (r) | .66 | .76 | .26 | .23 |
| 95% confidence intervals | .57 to .75 | .63 to .89 | .21 to .32 | .17 to .30 |
| Samples (K) | 81 | 29 | 108 | 55 |
| Sample size (n) | 1,732 | 630 | 2,345 | 1,305 |
| Number of studies | 57 | 19 | 74 | 39 |
| Homogeneity (Q) | 216.0 | 56.3 | 147.6 | 66.0 |
| p < .0001 | p < .005 | p < .01 | p = .15 | |
Note: Subjective = correlation between subjective arousal and actual genital arousal (Rsub). Genital = correlation between perception of genital arousal and actual genital arousal (Rgen). A significant Q value means that effect sizes are not homogeneous, suggesting the presence of one or more moderator variables
