Mean Perceptions and Judgments of Male Adult-Male Adolescent Sexual Relationships as a Function of Terminology

Note

Each mean is based on n = 40 subjects. For immediate and long-term effects, 13-point scales were used [13 pts]; otherwise, 7-point scales were used [7 pts]. Higher values indicate more negative judgments for manipulativeness, therapy, and criminal justice system [grey rows]; otherwise [white rows], lower values indicate more negative judgments. Positive rs (effect sizes) indicate that negative terms produced more negative judgments.
