The present study examined the relationship between the perception by homosexual males of positive or negative societal reaction to homosexuality (PSR), their degree of conformity to heterosexual norms, and their degree of psychological adjustment. In this study respondents with high PSR were those who perceived negative societal reaction to homosexuality. Respondents with low PSR were those who perceived positive societal reaction. The study differentiated between the effects of putative societal reaction and actual societal reaction and was based on a three-group sample of homosexual men who (a) were, (b) had been, or (c) had never been heterosexually married. Findings showed that putative societal reaction was a critical variable producing conformity and psychological maladjustment in homosexual males.
本研究考察了男同性恋者对同性恋的社会正面或负面反应（PSR）的认知、他们对异性恋规范的遵从程度以及他们的心理调适程度之间的关系。在本研究中，PSR得分高的受访者是那些认为社会对同性恋持负面反应的人。PSR得分低的受访者是那些认为社会对同性恋持正面反应的人。该研究区分了假定的社会反应和实际的社会反应的影响，并基于三组男同性恋者样本：（a）已婚异性恋者，（b）曾经是已婚异性恋者，或（c）从未有过异性婚姻。研究结果表明，假定的社会反应是导致男同性恋者遵从和心理失调的关键变量。
