The present study examined Chinese university students' attitudes toward same-sex attraction and behavior, the socio-demographic correlates of these attitudes, and the potential gender differences in both tendencies and correlates. A total of 2,644 Chinese university students (49.7% male, mean age = 20.27 years) indicated generally negative attitudes toward same-sex attraction and behavior, with males reporting more negative attitudes than females. More years in university (i.e., higher grade levels), higher levels of maternal education, growing up in an urban area, and more frequent Internet use significantly predicted more positive attitudes. Gender significantly moderated one correlate: For female participants, a higher university grade was related to more positive attitudes; this correlation was not significant for male participants. The findings suggest valuable directions for related intervention practices for young people in China.
本研究调查了中国大学生对同性吸引和行为的态度、这些态度的社会人口学相关因素，以及在倾向和相关因素方面潜在的性别差异。共有2644名中国大学生（49.7%为男性，平均年龄 = 20.27岁）表示对同性吸引和行为总体持负面态度，男性的态度比女性更负面。大学就读年限更长（即年级更高）、母亲受教育程度更高、在城市地区长大以及更频繁使用互联网显著预示着更积极的态度。性别显著调节了一个相关因素：对于女性参与者，大学年级越高，态度越积极；对于男性参与者，这种相关性不显著。研究结果为中国年轻人的相关干预实践提供了有价值的方向。
