This brief report aimed to geographically describe binegativity and social distance among Hispanic Puerto Ricans, and to explore social determinants related to binegativity and social distance toward bisexual women and men. The team employed secondary research data based on a quantitative, cross-sectional study. Data from a sociodemographic questionnaire, a binegativity scale, and a social distance scale were extracted. Demographic data of a sample of 177 participants were poststratified and divided into binary categories for analysis. Results showed that half of the sample (54.2%) reported high or very high binegativity. Similarly, half of the sample (50.8%) also reported moderate or high social distance toward bisexual individuals. The study also found that participants under 30 years of age without a religion significantly reported less binegativity. In addition, participants who identify as men, as lesbian/gay, and know a bisexual person significantly reported less social distance. The need for more research is discussed.
本简要报告旨在从地理角度描述西班牙裔波多黎各人中的双性恋否定态度和社会距离，并探讨与对双性恋女性和男性的双性恋否定态度及社会距离相关的社会决定因素。该团队采用了基于定量横断面研究的二手研究数据。提取了来自社会人口学调查问卷、双性恋否定态度量表和社会距离量表的数据。对177名参与者样本的人口数据进行了事后分层，并分为二元类别进行分析。结果显示，样本的一半（54.2%）报告有高或非常高的双性恋否定态度。同样，样本的一半（50.8%）也报告对双性恋者有中度或高度的社会距离。该研究还发现，30岁以下无宗教信仰的参与者双性恋否定态度显著较低。此外，认同男性、女同性恋/男同性恋身份且认识双性恋者的参与者社会距离显著较低。文中讨论了开展更多研究的必要性。
