“…Our initial significant correlation between SOI and masculinity preferences concorded with the results of Waynforth et al (2005) and demonstrated the link in a heterogeneous sample of both students and non-students, including those of low socioeconomic status who may be less likely to engage in online university research (see, e.g., Ross, Mansson, Daneback, Cooper, & Tikkanen, 2005). Moreover, the fact that the behavioral components of SOI may be confounded with opportunity does not appear to preclude significant results and, indeed, attitude SOI failed to produce significant results in our sample.…”

Results, however, have not been consistent and, moreover, studies have tended to draw from specific social groups. Here, we tested the relationship between sociosexuality and female's preferences for masculinity in male faces, using a diverse population. We furthermore investigated impulsivity alongside sociosexuality, as this trait has been suggested as a "root" cause of variation in sexual behavior (Cross, 2010) and thus may better explain variation in mate choice. Results showed a significant association between increases in both sociosexuality and two subcomponents of impulsivity and greater preferences for masculine male features. Regression analysis suggested that a subcomponent of impulsivity, namely lack of planning, was the primary determinant of preferences. We discuss the implications these results have for our understanding of female attraction to masculine features.

“…Thus, our recruitment strategy means we may have underestimated levels of internalized homonegativity and limited our generalizability of findings to MSM who use gay websites. Internet samples tend to be more urban, younger, single, and have higher education (Ross, Månsson, Daneback, Cooper, & Tikkanen, 2005). Several of the variables that were independently associated with IH at the p<.001 statistical significance level are too small to be considered practically significant.…”

“…Both in the US and abroad, increasing use of the Internet generally, and specifically by populations identified as most at risk for HIV, has coincided with rapid developments in using the Internet for both quantitative and qualitative research (Bockting, Huang, Ding, Robinson, & Rosser, 2005;Bockting et al, 2003;Bowen, 2006;Elford, Bolding, Davis, Sherr, & Hart, 2004a;McFarlane, Bull, & Rietmeijer, 2000;Rhodes, Bowie, & Hergenrather, 2003;Rhodes, DiClemente, Cecil, Hergenrather, & Yee, 2002;Ross, 2005;Ross, Daneback, Må nsson, Cooper, & Tikkanen, 2003;Ross, Må nsson, Daneback, Cooper, & Tikkanen, 2005;Ross, Tikkanen, & Må nsson, 2000;. At least five aspects of the Internet make it a significant advance in HIV prevention research.…”

The aim of this paper is to advance rigorous Internet-based HIV/STD Prevention quantitative research by providing guidance to fellow researchers, faculty supervising graduates, human subjects' committees, and review groups about some of the most common and challenging questions about Internet-based HIV prevention quantitative research. The authors represent several research groups who have gained experience conducting some of the first Internet-based HIV/STD prevention quantitative surveys in the US and elsewhere. Sixteen questions specific to Internet-based HIV prevention survey research are identified. To aid rigorous development and review of applications, these questions are organized around six common criteria used in federal review groups in the US: significance, innovation, approach (broken down further by research design, formative development, procedures, sampling considerations, and data collection); investigator, environment and human subjects' issues. Strategies promoting minority participant recruitment, minimizing attrition, validating participants, and compensating participants are discussed. Throughout, the implications on budget and realistic timetabling are identified.
