The authors studied changes in personal concerns and fears about AIDS and homophobia from 1985 to 1992 among four samples of heterosexual undergraduate students on a university campus. Over time, students' self-reported knowledge about AIDS increased, as did personal worry about HIV infection. Interest in attending an educational program increased initially, then leveled off, and fear of casual contact with people with AIDS decreased. The study findings showed no changes in homophobia. High fear of AIDS was associated with being less informed, having greater concern about infection, and being more homophobic.
作者研究了1985年至1992年间大学校园里四个异性恋本科学生样本中个人对艾滋病的担忧、恐惧以及恐同症的变化情况。随着时间推移,学生自我报告的艾滋病知识有所增加,对感染艾滋病毒的个人担忧也增加了。参加教育项目的兴趣最初有所上升,然后趋于平稳,对与艾滋病患者进行日常接触的恐惧有所下降。研究结果显示恐同症没有变化。对艾滋病的高度恐惧与信息了解较少、对感染的担忧更大以及更恐同有关。
