Previous research has consistently found sexual prejudice to be a predictor of antigay aggression and has also revealed specific correlates and antecedents of sexual prejudice. However, extant literature reveals mixed findings about potential racial group differences in sexual prejudice, and few studies have examined racial differences in the correlates of sexual prejudice. The aims of this descriptive study were to determine whether there are (a) racial group differences in reports of sexual prejudice and (b) racial group differences in previously identified correlates of sexual prejudice. Participants were 195 heterosexual males, ages 18 to 30 (98 Blacks and 97 Whites), recruited from a large metropolitan city in the southeastern United States. Based on cultural differences in the influence of religion and in attitudes about male sexuality, it was hypothesized that Black participants would report higher sexual prejudice than White participants. Additionally, based on cultural differences in racial views on masculinity and in sociocultural experiences of male gender roles, it was hypothesized that Blacks would report greater endorsement of religious fundamentalism and the traditional male role norm of status than Whites. Results confirmed all of the hypothesized racial differences and revealed additional differences, including a differential effect of the traditional male role norm of status on sexual prejudice, which explains, at least in part, the racial differences found in sexual prejudice. These findings may reflect underlying cultural differences between Black and White males and may aid in the development of future efforts to reduce sexual prejudice and consequently antigay aggression toward sexual minorities.
以往的研究一直发现，性偏见是反同性恋攻击行为的一个预测指标，并且还揭示了性偏见的具体相关因素和成因。然而，现有文献对于性偏见中潜在的种族群体差异呈现出不一致的研究结果，而且很少有研究考察性偏见相关因素中的种族差异。这项描述性研究的目的是确定：（a）在性偏见报告方面是否存在种族群体差异；（b）在先前确定的性偏见相关因素方面是否存在种族群体差异。研究参与者为195名年龄在18至30岁之间的异性恋男性（98名黑人男性和97名白人男性），他们是从美国东南部一个大城市招募而来的。基于宗教影响和对男性性行为态度方面的文化差异，研究假设黑人参与者报告的性偏见会高于白人参与者。此外，基于在男性气质的种族观念以及男性性别角色的社会文化经历方面的文化差异，研究假设黑人会比白人更认同宗教原教旨主义和传统的男性地位角色规范。研究结果证实了所有假设的种族差异，并揭示了其他差异，包括传统男性地位角色规范对性偏见的不同影响，这至少在一定程度上解释了在性偏见中发现的种族差异。这些发现可能反映了黑人和白人男性之间潜在的文化差异，并可能有助于未来开展减少性偏见以及由此减少对性少数群体的反同性恋攻击行为的工作。
