Study 5 Results. Error bars are the standard error of the means. A 2 (Categorization Rate Type: Straight vs. Gay) X 3 (Gaydar Belief condition: Gaydar is Real vs. Control vs. Gaydar is Stereotyping) mixed ANOVA revealed that the main effect of categorization rate type, F (1, 230) = 22.694, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.085, was qualified by an interaction with Gaydar Belief condition, F (2, 230) = 7.508, p = 0.001, η2 = 0.056. After being told that gaydar is real, participants guessed that gay-stereotypic men were gay much more often than straight, and this difference was much larger than for participants in the control group. When participants were told that gaydar is merely another label for stereotyping, they were equally likely to guess that a gay-stereotypic man was gay or straight.
