In the dummy codes, the category coded as 0 were: men for gender, White for race, heterosexual for sexual orientation, and in a relationship for relationship status. Positive βs indicated greater sexuality-related body image and negative βs indicated lower sexuality-related body image. For example, looking at results for satisfaction with nude appearance, women were less satisfied than men (β = −0.24), people with high BMIs mass were less satisfied than people with low BMIs (β = −0.47), and Blacks were more satisfied than Whites (β = 0.37).
