A sample of undergraduate college students from a large midwestern university (N = 97) read one of four vignettes describing a couple interested in adopting a five-year-old African-American male child. Participants completed questionnaires that assessed their reactions to the couple described in the vignette. The vignettes were identical except that the couples' ethnicity was either African-American, Caucasian, or inter-racial (i.e., African-American and Caucasian) or their sexual orientation was either homosexual or heterosexual. Results indicate that subjects who rated the homosexual couple were more likely to view them as creating a dangerous environment for the child, to create a more insecure home, to be more emotionally unstable, and to be less likely to be awarded custody of the child than the heterosexual couples. Participants who were more theistic, irrationally worried, and tense were more likely to hold negative attitudes toward the gay couple. Recommendations for promoting attitude change toward gay/lesbian parenting is also presented.
来自中西部一所大型大学的97名本科学生样本阅读了四个小插曲中的一个，这些小插曲描述了一对有意收养一名五岁非裔美国男童的夫妇。参与者完成了问卷调查，以评估他们对小插曲中描述的夫妇的反应。这些小插曲除了夫妇的种族不同外完全相同，夫妇的种族分别是非裔美国人、白种人或跨种族（即非裔美国人和白种人），或者他们的性取向分别是同性恋或异性恋。结果表明，与异性恋夫妇相比，对同性恋夫妇进行评分的受试者更有可能认为他们为孩子创造了一个危险的环境、创造了一个更不安全的家庭、情绪更不稳定，并且获得孩子监护权的可能性更小。更具宗教信仰、非理性担忧和紧张的参与者更有可能对同性恋夫妇持负面态度。还提出了促进对同性恋父母态度转变的建议。
