Utilizing the concept of heterosexual bias, recent research on homosexuality is evaluated to see if this bias has lessened in recent years. In 1977 the suggestion was made that a new vision of homosexuality as an alternate and equally valid lifestyle would result in changes in the questions posed, the data collected, and the interpretations made in research on homosexuality. Recent journal article abstracts are examined and weighed to find the extend to which they reflect a change in the social values of the behavior under study. These findings are compared to those of the original study in 1977 and assessed to see if the predicted changes have come about. Strong evidence of such a change was found.
利用异性恋偏见的概念，对近期关于同性恋的研究进行评估，以查看这种偏见近年来是否有所减轻。1977年有人提出，将同性恋视为一种替代的、同样有效的生活方式的新观点，会导致在同性恋研究中提出的问题、收集的数据以及做出的解释发生变化。对近期期刊文章摘要进行审查和权衡，以确定它们在多大程度上反映了所研究行为的社会价值观的变化。将这些发现与1977年的原始研究结果进行比较，并评估预测的变化是否已经出现。发现了这种变化的有力证据。
