This study uses an experiment embedded in a large, nationally representative survey to test whether exposure to imagery of a gay or lesbian couple's wedding influences support for gay marriage. It also tests whether any such effects depend on the nature of the image (gay or lesbian couple, kissing or not) and viewer characteristics (sex, age, race, education, religion, and ideology). Results show that exposure to imagery of a gay couple kissing reduced support for gay marriage relative to the baseline. Other image treatments (gay couple not kissing, lesbian couple kissing, lesbian couple not kissing) did not significantly influence opinion.
本研究采用一项嵌入大型全国代表性调查的实验，以测试接触同性伴侣婚礼的图像是否会影响对同性婚姻的支持。它还测试了任何此类影响是否取决于图像的性质（同性伴侣、是否亲吻）和观看者特征（性别、年龄、种族、教育程度、宗教信仰和意识形态）。结果表明，相对于基线，接触男同性恋伴侣亲吻的图像会降低对同性婚姻的支持。其他图像处理方式（男同性恋伴侣不亲吻、女同性恋伴侣亲吻、女同性恋伴侣不亲吻）并未显著影响观点。
