Although research in recent years has revealed widespread discrimination against transgender people, few studies have addressed the attitudes of those who discriminate. In fact, although studies report that bullying is very common in adolescence, little is known about the attitudes of adolescents towards transgender people. This study aimed to determine the roles of social reputation, family socialisation, the big five personality traits and aggressiveness in transphobia and gender bashing among adolescents. The sample consisted of 479 students (50.1% boys) aged 14-19 (M = 15.04; SD = 1.06). The results revealed that transphobia and gender bashing were significantly related to the study variables. Specifically, the results showed that transphobia is largely predicted by variables of the type related to affect and personality, while gender bashing is largely related to variables of a social and reputational nature. Similarly, differences were found between genders, with boys having significantly higher scores than girls for transphobia and gender bashing, as well as specificity of predictors. The implications of these findings are discussed.
尽管近年来的研究揭示了对跨性别者的广泛歧视，但很少有研究涉及歧视者的态度。事实上，尽管研究报告称，在青春期欺凌现象非常普遍，但对于青少年对跨性别者的态度却知之甚少。本研究旨在确定社会声誉、家庭社会化、大五人格特质和攻击性在青少年对跨性别者的恐惧和性别攻击中的作用。样本由 479 名 14-19 岁的学生（50.1%为男生）组成（M = 15.04；SD = 1.06）。结果表明，对跨性别者的恐惧和性别攻击与研究变量显著相关。具体来说，结果表明，对跨性别者的恐惧主要由与情感和人格相关的变量预测，而性别攻击主要与社会和声誉性质的变量相关。同样，性别之间也存在差异，男孩在对跨性别者的恐惧和性别攻击以及预测指标的特异性方面的得分明显高于女孩。讨论了这些发现的意义。
