A Study by Alexander and Fisher (2003) Used the "Bogus

A study by Alexander and Fisher (2003) used the "bogus pipeline" methodology to help control for false accommodation of gender roles (i.e., self-reporting that falsely presents behaviours and/or attitudes as consistent with widespread gender norms) . In this study, participants were led to believe that they were attached to a polygraph machine that could detect lies. What impact did this have on self-reported gender differences in sexual attitudes, autonomous sexual behaviours (e.g., masturbation, use of erotic materials) , and numbers of sexual partners?

A) Gender differences still existed but the gap was smaller
B) There was no change in the reported gender differences
C) There were greater differences than originally anticipated between women and men
D) The threat of discovery caused most participants to drop out of the study
