Exactly! I'd like to see the experiment done with gay men actually, with pics of buff men instead.
Yep. I could see similar outcomes: some men will deceive/cheat. Others will deceive/cheat even more. Because of social norms.
-
-
and upon receiving reminders of those norms (e.g. pictures encoded with the semiotics of the straight male gaze) that cheating is amplified
-
I may be _wrong_ about this -- but the OP's experiments support my hypothesis at least as much as their own.
-
1/2 As I said yesterday it's not the sexy pictures that produce this outcome.
-
2/2 Many studies show men more likely to deceive/cheat at tasks in experiments b/c they've been conditioned to think they can get away w/ it
-
they _do_ attempt to have a control group -- straight men shown pictures of women rated "not sexy". All subjects still straight men.
-
I raise this because the phenomenon they report is that men in the "sexy pictures" effect group grift MORE than men in the cotnrol group.

Also, 100 some subjects = hardly statistically relevant.
