This study applied religious coping theory to examine the relationship between participants' perceptions that lesbian and gay (LG) individuals desecrate Christian values (the stressor) and anti-LG attitudes (the response) and whether religious coping influences the relationship between these variables. Greater agreement with desecration messages was associated with higher levels of anti-LG attitudes. Positive religious coping was associated with lower levels of anti-LG attitudes while negative religious coping was associated with higher levels. Greater exposure to messages that LG individuals desecrate Christian values was associated with greater agreement with those messages. Longitudinal studies with more diverse samples are needed to examine causality and the generalizability of the findings. However, these results have implications for preventing and mitigating anti-LG attitudes.
本研究运用宗教应对理论，考察了参与者对同性恋者亵渎基督教价值观（应激源）的看法与反同性恋态度（反应）之间的关系，以及宗教应对是否影响这些变量之间的关系。对亵渎信息的认同程度越高，反同性恋态度的水平就越高。积极的宗教应对与较低的反同性恋态度有关，而消极的宗教应对与较高的反同性恋态度有关。接触更多的信息，认为同性恋者亵渎了基督教价值观，与对这些信息的认同程度更高有关。需要进行更多样化样本的纵向研究，以检验因果关系和研究结果的普遍性。然而，这些结果对预防和减轻反同性恋态度具有重要意义。
