According to the zero-acquaintance paradigm gay men and lesbians possess the ability to identify other homosexuals accurately after only very brief interpersonal contact. Given the vulnerability gay men and lesbians face in terms of antigay violence and prejudice, perceptual accuracy provides self-protection. In an exploratory study, 123 respondents were classified as low, moderate, and high perceivers on the basis of their responses to a recognition index designed by the authors. Next, respondents rated on a series of 5-point Likert scales the helpfulness of several characteristics for identifying gay men and lesbians. Analysis supported the importance of eye contact for lesbians and gay men in identifying one another. For both lesbian and gay male participants, several other variables emerged as significantly helpful in identifying gay men: clothing style and fit, jewelry, facial expressions, posture, body type, walk or gait, and both the types and frequencies of gestures.
根据零熟人范式，男同性恋者和女同性恋者仅通过非常短暂的人际接触就能准确识别其他同性恋者。鉴于男同性恋者和女同性恋者在面对反同性恋暴力和偏见时的脆弱性，感知准确性提供了自我保护。在一项探索性研究中，123名受访者根据他们对作者设计的识别指数的回答被分为低、中、高感知者。接下来，受访者在一系列5点李克特量表上对几种特征在识别男同性恋者和女同性恋者方面的有用性进行评分。分析支持了眼神交流对女同性恋者和男同性恋者相互识别的重要性。对于女同性恋和男同性恋参与者来说，其他几个变量在识别男同性恋者方面也被证明非常有用：服装风格和合身程度、首饰、面部表情、姿势、体型、走路方式或步态，以及手势的类型和频率。
