Using data from the General Social Survey, this research evaluates the effect of education on both the moral acceptance and social tolerance of homosexuality in America and how that effect has been changing. In terms of moral acceptance, it is shown through multivariate logistic regression that while education is associated with more liberal attitudes, it has not significantly influenced trends. In the second part of the analysis, these results are compared to a similar investigation of social tolerance. From this, it is seen that education has a stronger connection with tolerance, but its effect has been decreasing over time.
本研究利用来自“综合社会调查”的数据，评估了教育对美国民众在同性恋道德接受度和社会包容度两方面的影响，以及这种影响随时间的变化。在道德接受度方面，多元逻辑回归显示，尽管教育与更自由的态度相关，但它并没有显著影响趋势。在分析的第二部分，将这些结果与对社会包容度的类似调查进行了比较。从中可以看出，教育与包容度的联系更强，但这种联系的影响随着时间的推移而减弱。
