Note. Moderators or moderator-categories other than the one’s presented above were not examined, because less than two of the moderator categories consisted of at least four studies each. #k = number of studies; #IS = number of independent samples; #ES = number of effect sizes; d = standardized mean difference; CI = 95% confidence interval; SDS = sexual double standard(s); DSS = double standard scale; SDSS = sexual double standard scale.

a

For continuous predictors, the mean effect size d indicates the mean effect size of a participant with an average value on the corresponding predictor. b Variance was examined at the following levels: 1 = variance within samples, that is, between effect sizes from the same sample, 2 = variance within studies, that is, between samples from the same study, 3 = variance between studies. As there was zero variance at the second level in the overall model, this level was not presented in this table. c Attitudes and other cognitions do not differ significantly from each other: β = −0.067, SE = 0.09, t = −0.729, 95% CI [−0.249; 0.115], p = .468. d SDSS questionnaire and other questionnaires do not differ significantly from each other: β = −0.053, SE = 0.09, t = −0.568, 95% CI [−0.239; 0.133], p = .571.
