Salience of sexual identity was varied in intergroup interaction for 75 female and 77 male college students. Participants rated attraction for and made attributions of sex-linked personality traits to men and women presented on slides. Under conditions of high as compared to low group salience, own group members were rated as more attractive than other group members, men made greater use of the male competence stereotype and women made greater use of the female warmth stereotype. These findings were interpreted as consistent with a social comparison interpretation of intergroup interaction.

The purpose was to investigate the relationship between sex of juror and amount of evidence to verdict, sentencing, and certainty in a simulated rape trial. Subjects were 118 female and 109 male college students. Analyses indicate, even under conditions of strong evidence, men are less likely to find the defendant guilty and prescribe shorter sentences than women. Women, under the conditions of moderate evidence, were more likely than men to find the defendant guilty. The results also suggest that certitude and severity of sentence are driven by the verdict reached rather than by gender. The findings are compared with those of other studies and discussed in terms of the ideation of men and women, environment and subjects' characteristics, and mode of presentation in a simulated rape trial.

Liking scores for hostile, sexual, and nontendentious cartoons were correlated with personality factor scores of 20 female and 19 male college students. Sexual cartoons were liked more by males, especially by those tending to be tough or group-dependent, than by females, especially by those with higher general intelligence. Nonsense cartoons were liked more by females, especially by those with lower general intelligence.
