83Replication of Maner et al. (2005)4that the Black protagonist videos did not increase sexual arousal robustlycompared to the control condition or the White protagonist video condition (OR = 1.18[0.35], 95% HDI [0.66, 2.14], pd = 71%, d = 0.09[0.16];OR = 0.9[0.27], 95% HDI [-0.49, 1.62], pd = 64%, d = 0.06[0.17], for thecontrol and White protagonist conditions, respectively). Regarding romantic arousal, men indicated higher romantic arousal in the Black protagonistvideo than the control video condition (OR = 0.25[0.07], 95% HDI [0.14,-0.45], pd = 100%, d = 0.76[0.16]) and the White protagonist video compared to the Black protagonist video condition (OR = 2.52[0.69], 95% HDI[1.46, 4.31], pd = 100%, d = 0.51[0.15]).Main analysesRegarding sexual arousal ratings, the results of the Bayesian multilevelmodel (see Table 2) showed that contrary to the findings of Maner et al.(2005), we did not find that participants rated highly attractive White females as more sexually aroused than medium attractive White and highand medium attractive Black women after watching the romantic video clipcompared with participants who watched the neutral video (b = 0.07, 95%HDI [-0.16, 0.31], pd = 73%; b = -0.09, 95% HDI [-0.33, 0.15], pd = 77%; forControl and White protagonist conditions, respectively). Men that watchedthe Black-protagonist and White-protagonist videos did not differ in sexual arousal ratings from men that watched the control video (b = -0.10,95% HDI [-0.50, 0.29], pd = 69%; b = 0.07, 95% HDI [-0.32, 0.46], pd =63%; for Control and White protagonist condition, respectively). The interaction between Female Target Skin Color ⇥ Female Target Attractivenesswas robust (b = -0.22, 95% HDI [-0.39, -0.05], pd = 99%), indicating thatparticipants rated White highly attractive female targets as more sexuallyaroused than medium attractive female targets, highly attractive Black targets, and medium attractive Black targets (see Figure 1). The main effect ofFemale Target Attractiveness was robust, suggesting that men rated highlyattractive female targets as more sexually aroused than medium attractivefemale targets (b = 0.74, 95% HDI [0.57, 091], pd = 100%). All other effectsand interactions did not influence sexual arousal ratings.The results of the Bayesian ordinal multilevel model supported the results of Model 1 (see Table 3).Iliana Samara 17x24.indd 83 08-04-2024 16:35
