The purpose of this study was to focus on the context of stereotypes of gay men, and how sex differences and social contact influence the stereotypic and counter-stereotypic attributes of them. To do that, 77 female and 106 male heterosexual undergraduate students participated in the study. The participants filled out a rating scale. The findings of the study demonstrated that male participants defined male homosexuals by using more stereotypic, less counter-stereotypic attributes, while female participants used less stereotypic and more counter-stereotypic attributes to define gay men. In the same way, participants who hadn't had any social contact with any homosexuals used more stereotypic and less counter-stereotypic attributes, while others who had had social contact with at least a homosexual defined gay men by using less stereotypic and more counter-stereotypic attributes. Both male participants and participants who hadn't had social contact with any homosexuals used more negative stereotypes than both females and participants who at least had had social contact with a homosexual. The findings were discussed in terms of gender-based judgments of gay men.
本研究的目的是聚焦于男同性恋者刻板印象的背景，以及性别差异和社会接触如何影响他们的刻板印象和反刻板印象属性。为此，77名女异性恋本科生和106名男异性恋本科生参与了该研究。参与者填写了一份评分量表。研究结果表明，男性参与者在定义男同性恋者时使用了更多的刻板印象属性和更少的反刻板印象属性，而女性参与者使用了更少的刻板印象属性和更多的反刻板印象属性。同样，没有与任何同性恋者有过社会接触的参与者使用了更多的刻板印象属性和更少的反刻板印象属性，而至少与一名同性恋者有过社会接触的其他参与者在定义男同性恋者时使用了更少的刻板印象属性和更多的反刻板印象属性。男性参与者和没有与任何同性恋者有过社会接触的参与者都比女性参与者和至少与一名同性恋者有过社会接触的参与者使用了更多的负面刻板印象。研究结果从基于性别的男同性恋者判断角度进行了讨论。
