Abstract

Are sexual double standards related to the proportion of men and women in their growing or living environment? Is a balanced sex ratio helpful for teenagers to better get along with their peers? To figure out the answers, I designed an experiment and completed it. The correlation between SDS and sex ratios in environments has not been focused on or found in the former researches. The experiment was assumed to go through a survey of about 100 subjects over 18 years old from different areas by questionnaire. For the same behavior of two genders with different information, participants were supposed to express their attitudes towards the behavior of the person described in the question. After the results of the questionnaire had been collected, I worked out the corresponding statistics by SPSS and integrated the evaluation to get the possible results through 7 analyzing tables and a scatter plot, which proved that SDS is indicated more likely to be correlated to the sex ratios in network environments of the respondents than the living environments. Besides, factors such as competitive pressure of sexual attraction and stereotypes were unexpectedly found as the possible reasons causing SDS in the analyzing. Relevant departments are suggested to take the results as the basis to improve the environment that indirectly leads the social problems, such as coordinating sex ratio and enhancing sexual equality education.
