This study explored how heterosexual and lesbian women differ in their implicit sexual responses. Previous research indicates that heterosexual women have physiological and implicit responses to both genders, whereas lesbian women show stronger responses to their preferred gender. This study used two implicit measures: the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) and the Function Acquisition Speed Test (FAST), both of which were novel in this context. We recruited 33 heterosexual and 25 lesbian women. Both IRAP and FAST were successful in differentiating the two sexual orientations as a group. The results confirmed that heterosexual women exhibit positive responses to both genders, while lesbian women show stronger, category-specific responses to their preferred gender. These findings align with previous research and provide further insight into the nuanced differences in sexual orientation responses among women.

本研究探讨了异性恋和女同性恋女性在内隐性反应方面的差异。先前的研究表明，异性恋女性对两种性别都有生理和隐性反应，而女同性恋女性对她们喜欢的性别表现出更强烈的反应。本研究使用了两种内隐措施：内隐关系评估程序 （IRAP） 和功能获取速度测试 （FAST），这两者在这种情况下都是新颖的。我们招募了 33 名异性恋女性和 25 名女同性恋者。IRAP 和 FAST 都成功地将两种性取向作为一个群体区分开来。结果证实，异性恋女性对两种性别都表现出积极的反应，而女同性恋女性对她们喜欢的性别表现出更强烈的、特定类别的反应。这些发现与以前的研究一致，并进一步了解女性性取向反应的细微差异。
