Although attitudes toward homosexuality have become more liberal, particularly in industrialized Western countries, there is still a great deal of variance in terms of worldwide levels of homonegativity. Using data from the two most recent waves of the World Values Survey (1999-2004, 2005-2009), this article seeks to explain this variance by means of a multilevel analysis of 79 countries. We include characteristics on the individual level, as age or gender, as well as aggregate variables linked to specificities of the nation-states. In particular, we focus on the religious denomination of a person and her religiosity to explain her attitude toward homosexuality. We find clear differences in levels of homonegativity among the followers of the individual religions.
尽管对同性恋的态度已变得更加宽容，尤其是在西方工业化国家，但全球范围内的同性恋负面态度水平仍存在很大差异。本文利用世界价值观调查最近两轮（1999 - 2004年、2005 - 2009年）的数据，试图通过对79个国家的多层次分析来解释这种差异。我们纳入了个体层面的特征，如年龄或性别，以及与民族国家特殊性相关的总体变量。特别是，我们关注一个人的宗教派别及其宗教虔诚程度，以解释其对同性恋的态度。我们发现不同宗教信徒之间在同性恋负面态度水平上存在明显差异。
