Shifting Standards of Women's Sexuality: An Intersectional Analysis of Men's Evaluations of Black and White Women

Across 4 experiments (N=702), White and Black men evaluated White and Black women who were fully- or scantily-clothed, judging them on measures of sexuality. Fully clothed Black (vs. White) women were associated with greater attributions of sexuality, while scantily clad White (vs. Black) women were associated with greater sexuality.
