Summary of groups’ musical listening behavior and the reported interest in a one-night stand and long-term relationship. M, mean; SD, standard deviation; U, test statistic of the Mann–Whitney-U test; p, calculated probability. Nfemales = 35, Nmales = 23. All degrees of freedom are 2. All ratings were given on 7-point scales with low numbers indicating a lower frequency. For the variables “one-night stand” and “long-term relationship” lower numbers indicate high willingness. All variables, except for “one-night stand” and “long-term relationship”, were used to match groups.
