The aim of the present study was to examine racial differences in women's attitudes toward lesbians and gay men and to offer an understanding of these differences. Participants were 224 18-30 year old heterosexual African American (64%) and White (36%) female undergraduates from a large urban university in the southeastern United States. Participants completed measures of social demographics, sexual orientation, and sexual prejudice. Results showed that African American, relative to White, women endorsed more negative attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. Also, unlike White women, African American women reported more negative attitudes toward gay men than lesbians. Implications are discussed regarding differences in cultural contexts that exist between African American and White women.
本研究的目的是考察女性对女同性恋者和男同性恋者态度上的种族差异,并对这些差异进行解读。参与者为来自美国东南部一所大型城市大学的224名年龄在18至30岁之间的异性恋非裔美国女性(64%)和白人女性(36%)本科生。参与者完成了社会人口统计学、性取向和性偏见方面的测量。结果显示,相对于白人女性,非裔美国女性对女同性恋者和男同性恋者持更消极的态度。此外,与白人女性不同,非裔美国女性对男同性恋者的态度比对女同性恋者更消极。文中讨论了非裔美国女性和白人女性之间存在的文化背景差异所带来的影响。
