This study examined if college students supportive of social nudity would differ from students opposed to social nudity on self-acceptance and acceptance of culturally diverse others. Using data from 384 participants, pro- and anti-nudity groups were formed based on students scoring in the upper (n=59) and lower (n=64) quartiles on a measure assessing attitudes toward social nudity. Hypotheses were partially supported. Results indicated that pro-nudity students significantly differed from anti-nudity students on comfort with their bodies' appearances, but not on self-acceptance. Pro-nudity students also were significantly more accepting of other religious groups and gays and lesbians compared with anti-nudity students, but they did not differ on their attitudes toward the disabled. A trend was noted indicating that pro-nudity students were less prejudiced toward ethnically dissimilar others compared with anti-nudity students. Follow-up exploratory analyses suggested that pro-nudity students' increased openness to sexuality in general accounted for the two groups' discrepant views toward religiously dissimilar others and gays and lesbians. Pro-nudity students' relative tolerance for cultural diversity is discussed.
本研究考察了支持社会裸体的大学生与反对社会裸体的大学生在自我接纳和对文化多元他人的接纳方面是否存在差异。利用来自384名参与者的数据,根据学生在一项评估对社会裸体态度的量表上处于上四分位数(n = 59)和下四分位数(n = 64),分别组建了支持裸体和反对裸体的小组。假设得到了部分支持。结果表明,支持裸体的学生在对自己身体外观的舒适度方面与反对裸体的学生存在显著差异,但在自我接纳方面没有差异。与反对裸体的学生相比,支持裸体的学生对其他宗教团体以及同性恋者的接纳程度也显著更高,但他们在对残疾人的态度上没有差异。有一个趋势值得注意,即与反对裸体的学生相比,支持裸体的学生对种族不同的他人的偏见较少。后续的探索性分析表明,支持裸体的学生总体上对性取向更加开放,这解释了两组学生对宗教不同的他人以及同性恋者的不同看法。文中讨论了支持裸体的学生对文化多样性的相对宽容度。
