“…For the resulting scores, a value of zero indicates no change in pupil size and positive or negative scores reflect relatively larger (dilation) or smaller (constriction) pupil sizes for a stimulus category (for similar approaches, see AttardJohnson et al, 2016;Dabbs, 1997;Laeng & Falkenberg, 2007).…”

“…Laeng and Falkenberg [25] reported that women in their fertile phase had significantly greater average pupil diameters for sexually significant stimuli. However it is not clear if it is a general effect or is it specifically tied to sexual stimuli.…”

“…During the ovulatory phase heterosexual women were more likely to initiate sexual intercourse (Adam, Gold, & Burt, 1978;Bullivant et al, 2004;Van Goozen, Wiegant, Endert, 8 Helmond, & Van de Poll, 1997) ; reported more auto-sexual activity (Harvey, 1987); were more sexually aroused by erotic films (Slob, Ernste, & van der Werff ten Bosch, 1991); rated men other than their current partner as more sexually attractive (Larson, Pillsworth, & Haselton, 2012); and were more prone to fantasize about or have sexual intercourse with men other than their primary partners (Gangestad, Thornhill, & Garver, 2002). One study using eye tracking reported an increase in mean pupil diameter for sexually significant stimuli of participants' actual sexual partners during the ovulatory phase (Laeng & Falkenberg, 2007). It would appear that controlling for menstrual cycle phase is an important consideration when testing women's attention towards sexually appealing or attractive stimuli.…”

Measures of sexual interest tend to be more gender-specific in heterosexual men than in heterosexual women. Cognitive measures, such as viewing time to attractive stimuli, may also show similar patterns of gender-specificity or non-specificity among men and women, and thus serve as useful adjuncts to more direct measures of sexual interest. The objectives of the present research were to determine the extent of gender-specificity in women's viewing times for female pictures (varying in their perceived physical attractiveness) and explore the influence of social comparison of physical appearance on these patterns of responses. In Study 1, we recorded only women's viewing times for pictures of both genders, measured self-reported menstrual cycle phase, and manipulated the waist-to-hip ratio of the women in the female pictures. In Study 2, we recorded women's and men's viewing times, self-reported sexual attraction to pictures of males and females, and physical appearance social comparison.Study 1 found that heterosexual women's viewing time towards female pictures was not associated with manipulation of the perceived attractiveness of those pictures. Study 2 found that heterosexual men were more gender-specific than heterosexual women in their viewing time patterns. We also found that reported sexual attraction and physical appearance social comparison were associated with heterosexual women's viewing times for female pictures, while heterosexual men's viewing times were associated with sexual attraction only. Our results are discussed in relation to the utility of viewing time as an indicator of visual attention towards attractive or sexually appealing visual stimuli.
