We analyzed 97 gay men's and lesbians' experiences with and expectations for interactions with majority group members. Respondents described reactions to previous or imagined future interactions with an unfamiliar heterosexual person who had just become aware that the respondent was lesbian or gay. Results indicated that respondents are more proactive than reactive (in contrast to expectation states theories), that the contact hypothesis can be appropriately applied to this group, even though the formulation of the theory was based upon negative attitudes in the absence of extensive contact, and that they have different reactions for people of different prejudice levels, rather than being globally suspicious, as is predicted by many intergroup theories. Future research should direct more attention to the stigmatized group members' attitudes about and reactions toward the majority group.
我们分析了97名男同性恋者和女同性恋者与多数群体成员互动的经历及期望。受访者描述了对之前或想象中未来与刚意识到其为女同性恋或男同性恋的陌生异性互动的反应。结果表明，受访者更具主动性而非被动反应（与期望状态理论相反），接触假说可适用于该群体，尽管该理论的形成基于缺乏广泛接触时的负面态度，而且他们对不同偏见程度的人有不同反应，并非如许多群体间理论所预测的那样普遍持怀疑态度。未来的研究应更多关注受污名化群体成员对多数群体的态度及反应。
