Table 4.
Correlations for all independent samples, by sex, for selected studies, excluding studies with r = .00 (number of studies excluded in parentheses)
| Men | Women | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subjective | Genital | Subjective | Genital | |
| (0) | (1) | (9) | (2) | |
| Average (r) | .69 | .84 | .33 | .22 |
| 95% confidence intervals | .56 to .82 | .66 to 1.02 | .26 to .40 | .12 to .31 |
| Samples (K) | 45 | 15 | 56 | 30 |
| Sample size (n) | 987 | 350 | 1,170 | 619 |
| Number of studies | 36 | 12 | 46 | 24 |
| Homogeneity (Q) | 133.0 | 29.9 | 73.9 | 32.8 |
| p < .0001 | p < .001 | p < .05 | p = .28 | |
Note: Selected studies refer to basic samples, without experimental manipulations, and with standard external sexual stimuli. 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
