Previous research has shown that acute alcohol consumption is associated with negative responses toward outgroup members such as sexual minorities. However, simple alcohol cue exposure without actually consuming alcohol also influences social behavior. Hence, it was reasoned that priming participants with words related to alcohol (relative to neutral words) would promote prejudiced attitudes toward sexual minorities. In fact, an experiment showed that alcohol cue exposure causally led to more negative implicit attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. In contrast, participants' explicit attitudes were relatively unaffected by the priming manipulation. Moreover, participants' typical alcohol use was not related to their attitudes toward lesbians and gay men. In sum, it appears that not only acute alcohol consumption but also the simple exposure of alcohol cues may promote negative views toward lesbians and gay men.
先前的研究表明，急性酒精摄入与对性少数群体等外群体成员的负面反应有关。然而，仅仅接触酒精提示物而不实际饮酒也会影响社会行为。因此，有人推断，用与酒精相关的词语（相对于中性词语）启动参与者会促进对性少数群体的偏见态度。事实上，一项实验表明，接触酒精提示物会因果性地导致对女同性恋者和男同性恋者产生更负面的隐性态度。相比之下，参与者的显性态度相对不受启动操纵的影响。此外，参与者的典型饮酒行为与他们对女同性恋者和男同性恋者的态度无关。总之，似乎不仅急性酒精摄入，而且仅仅接触酒精提示物都可能促进对女同性恋者和男同性恋者的负面看法。
