This study examined the relationship between homophobia (defined as self-reported negative affect, avoidance, and aggression toward homosexuals) and homosexual aggression. Self-identified heterosexual college men were assigned to homophobic (n = 26) and nonhomophobic (n = 26) groups on the basis of their scores on the Homophobia Scale (HS; L. W. Wright, H. E. Adams, & J. A. Bernat, 1999). Physical aggression was examined by having participants administer shocks to a fictitious opponent during a competitive reaction time (RT) task under the impression that the study was examining the relationship between sexually explicit material and RT. Participants were exposed to a male homosexual erotic videotape, their affective reactions were assessed, and they then competed in the RT task against either a heterosexual or a homosexual opponent. The homophobic group reported significantly more negative affect, anxiety, and anger-hostility after watching the homosexual erotic videotape than did the nonhomophobic group. Additionally, the homophobic group was significantly more aggressive toward the homosexual opponent, but the groups did not differ in aggression toward the heterosexual opponent.
本研究考察了恐同症（定义为自我报告的对同性恋者的负面情绪、回避和攻击行为）与同性恋攻击行为之间的关系。根据恐同量表（HS；L.W.赖特、H.E.亚当斯和J.A.伯纳特，1999年）的得分，将自我认定为异性恋的大学男生分为恐同组（n = 26）和非恐同组（n = 26）。通过让参与者在竞争性反应时（RT）任务中对一个虚构对手施加电击来考察身体攻击行为，参与者以为该研究是在考察色情材料与反应时之间的关系。参与者观看一段男性同性恋色情录像带，评估他们的情感反应，然后在RT任务中与异性恋或同性恋对手竞争。与非恐同组相比，恐同组在观看同性恋色情录像带后报告的负面情绪、焦虑和愤怒敌意明显更多。此外，恐同组对同性恋对手的攻击性明显更强，但两组对异性恋对手的攻击性没有差异。
