Research consistently finds that homosexuality elicits strong feelings of disgust, but the reasons remain unclear. In the current research, we investigate responses to gay men who violate social norms governing the expression of gender and sexuality. Two hundred forty-three college undergraduates read a vignette about a gay male college student whose personality traits (masculine, feminine, or neutral) and sexual behavior (active vs. passive) varied and reported their affective responses to and cognitive appraisals of the target. The gay target who displayed a feminine personality elicited more disgust and was perceived as lower in gender role conformity than a gay man who displayed a masculine personality. Similarly, the gay target who assumed a passive sex role elicited more disgust and was perceived as lower in gender role conformity than a gay man who assumed an active sex role. The sexual behavior/disgust relationship was mediated by perceived gender role conformity.
研究一直发现，同性恋会引发强烈的厌恶情绪，但其原因尚不清楚。在当前的研究中，我们调查了对违反性别和性取向表达社会规范的男同性恋者的反应。243名大学生阅读了一篇关于一名男同性恋大学生的短文，该大学生的性格特征（男性化、女性化或中性）和性行为（主动与被动）各不相同，并报告了他们对目标对象的情感反应和认知评价。表现出女性化性格的男同性恋目标对象比表现出男性化性格的男同性恋者引发了更多的厌恶情绪，并且在性别角色一致性方面被认为更低。同样，扮演被动性角色的男同性恋目标对象比扮演主动性角色的男同性恋者引发了更多的厌恶情绪，并且在性别角色一致性方面被认为更低。性行为/厌恶情绪之间的关系是由感知到的性别角色一致性介导的。
