Attitudes toward homosexuality are complex. To get a comprehensive view on the attitudes of people, different dimensions need to be included in research. Based on a review of the literature, we distinguish five dimensions: acceptance of homosexuality in a general sense; attitude toward equal rights; reactions to homosexuality "at close quarters"; reactions to homosexuality in public; and so-called modern homonegativity. In a study on a representative sample of Dutch Defence personnel (N = 1,607) we tested this model. Structural equation modeling of several items measuring the attitude toward homosexuality offers a six factor solution. These six factors are more or less comparable to the five dimensions we distinguished. The dimension "reactions to homosexuality at close quarters" is, however, empirically split in a dimension on affective reactions to homosexuality and homosexual persons in general and a dimension on affective reaction to homosexual friends or acquaintances.
人们对同性恋的态度是复杂的。为了全面了解人们的态度，研究需要纳入不同的维度。基于文献回顾，我们区分了五个维度：广义上对同性恋的接受程度；对平等权利的态度；对“近距离”同性恋的反应；对公众中同性恋的反应；以及所谓的现代同性恋厌恶。在一项对荷兰国防人员的代表性样本（N=1607）的研究中，我们检验了这个模型。对几项衡量对同性恋态度的项目进行结构方程建模，得出了六因素解决方案。这六个因素或多或少与我们区分的五个维度相对应。然而，“近距离对同性恋的反应”这一维度在实证上被分为对同性恋和同性恋者的一般情感反应维度，以及对同性恋朋友或熟人的情感反应维度。
