This study examined the sexual double standard in the portrayal of sexual consequences on television. A content analysis of television programs nominated for Teen Choice Awards from 2012 to 2015 revealed that female characters received more negative sexual consequences than male characters, but there was no gender difference in who received positive sexual consequences. The gendered distribution of negative sexual consequences was qualified by age of the casts in the television programs. Negative sexual consequences were significantly more likely to be experienced by female characters than male characters within shows that primarily featured teens, thus reinforcing a discourse of sexual risk and danger for teen girls.

这项研究检查了电视上对性后果的描绘中的性双重标准。对 2012 年至 2015 年获得青少年选择奖提名的电视节目的内容分析显示，女性角色比男性角色受到的负面性后果更多，但在谁受到正面性后果方面没有性别差异。负面性后果的性别分布取决于电视节目中演员的年龄。在主要以青少年为主角的节目中，女性角色比男性角色更容易经历负面的性后果，从而加强了对少女性风险和危险的论述。
