Means (and standard deviations) of male and female raters rating men in general and women in general for all scales. Ratings were given on a 7-point scale from 1 “not at all” to 7 “very much”. LSD comparisons are presented for (1) rating differences of men in general versus women in general for male raters and for female raters, and (2) rater gender differences in characterizations of men in general and women in general.
