This work presents a new scale to measure conflicting attitudes toward sexual minorities. This scale parallels existing measures of conflicting racial attitudes (anti-Black and pro-Black attitudes; Katz & Hass, 1988). After constructing and validating measures of antigay and progay attitudes, we tested relationships among core American values with racial and sexual minority attitudes. We examined relations among the Protestant Work Ethic (PWE), Traditional Family Ideology (TFI), and egalitarian values with attitudes toward racial outgroups and sexual minorities. The results revealed that both PWE values and egalitarian values predicted anti-Black attitudes. By contrast, endorsement of egalitarian values, but not PWE values, predicted pro-Black attitudes. Results also revealed a similar but distinct pattern among values and heterosexuals' attitudes toward sexual minorities. TFI, but not egalitarian value endorsement, predicted antigay attitudes, whereas both TFI and egalitarian value endorsement predicted progay attitudes. The implications of these findings are discussed.
这项工作提出了一个新的量表来衡量对性少数群体的矛盾态度。这个量表与现有的衡量矛盾种族态度的量表（反黑和挺黑态度；Katz & Hass，1988）相平行。在构建和验证了反同和挺同态度的衡量标准后，我们测试了核心美国价值观与种族和性少数群体态度之间的关系。我们考察了新教工作伦理（PWE）、传统家庭意识形态（TFI）和平等价值观与对外群体和性少数群体态度之间的关系。结果表明，PWE 价值观和平等价值观都预测了反黑态度。相比之下，平等价值观的认可，而不是 PWE 价值观的认可，预测了挺黑态度。结果还揭示了价值观和异性恋者对性少数群体的态度之间类似但不同的模式。TFI，但不是平等价值观的认可，预测了反同态度，而 TFI 和平等价值观的认可都预测了挺同态度。讨论了这些发现的意义。
