Abstract

Fifty-seven participants from various mental health centers and volunteers responding to an ad in a gay newspaper completed questionnaires designed to assess homophobia and self-esteem. Results indicated a significant relationship between homophobia and self-esteem. Moreover, it was found that gay males with AIDS displayed higher levels of homophobia and lower levels of self-esteem than healthy gay males. Results were interpreted employing attribution theory and self-theory.

摘要

来自不同心理健康中心的57名参与者以及回应一份同性恋报纸上一则广告的志愿者填写了旨在评估恐同症和自尊的问卷。结果表明恐同症与自尊之间存在显著关系。此外，研究发现，感染艾滋病的男同性恋者比健康的男同性恋者表现出更高程度的恐同症和更低的自尊水平。研究结果采用归因理论和自我理论进行了解释。
