This paper reports a series of factor analyses of responses to attitude statements about lesbians and gay men. Using a common factor model with oblique rotation, a bipolar "Condemnation-Tolerance" factor was observed repeatedly in four separate samples of undergraduates. The factor accounts for 35-45% of the total common variance in responses, and is similar for male and female respondents and for questionnaires concerning both lesbians and gay men. A "Beliefs" factor accounts for another 5% of the total variance. It is argued that scales assessing attitudes toward lesbians and gay men should restrict their content to items loading highly on the Condemnation-Tolerance factor.
本文报告了一系列针对有关女同性恋者和男同性恋者态度陈述的反应的因素分析。使用具有斜交旋转的共同因素模型，在四个不同的本科生样本中反复观察到一个两极化的“谴责-宽容”因素。该因素占反应中总共同方差的35%-45%，并且对于男性和女性受访者以及关于女同性恋者和男同性恋者的问卷来说都是相似的。一个“信念”因素占总方差的另外5%。有人认为，评估对女同性恋者和男同性恋者态度的量表应将其内容限制在在谴责-宽容因素上负荷较高的项目上。
