For a study titled "On the nature of creepiness," Knox College researchers surveyed 1,341 individuals (1,029 women and 312 men) between the ages of 18 and 77 (the mean age was 28.97) using a Google Doc that asked participants whether certain occupations and different characteristics and behaviors -- like not looking people in the eye and licking your lips frequently -- were creepy. Researchers defined creepiness as "anxiety aroused by the ambiguity of whether there is something to fear or not." The results? More than 95 percent of participants "perceived men as being more likely to be creepy than women." The study notes that this interpretation was "equally likely to be held" by both men and women. Women were also more likely than men to link sexual assault with creepiness.
