Evidence suggests that social workers may be biased when dealing with gay and lesbian populations. The study discussed in this article attempted to measure the extent of homophobia and heterosexist bias and their correlates in a cohort of 187 social workers using the Index of Attitudes toward Homosexuality, the Attitudes toward Lesbians and Gay Men Scales, and a newly created scale to measure heterosexist bias. We found that 10 percent of respondents were homophobic and that a majority were heterosexist. Levels of homophobia and heterosexism were negatively correlated with amount of social contact with homosexual men and women. Religiosity was associated with higher levels of homophobia and heterosexism, and having been in psychotherapy was associated with more positive attitudes toward gay men and lesbians. Amount of education on topics related to homosexuality was not correlated with levels of homophobia and heterosexism.
有证据表明，社会工作者在与同性恋群体打交道时可能存在偏见。本文所讨论的研究试图使用同性恋态度指数、对男同性恋者和女同性恋者的态度量表以及一个新创建的量表来测量187名社会工作者群体中的恐同和异性恋偏见程度及其相关因素，以衡量异性恋偏见。我们发现，10%的受访者存在恐同倾向，且大多数人存在异性恋偏见。恐同和异性恋偏见程度与与同性恋男性和女性的社交接触量呈负相关。宗教虔诚度与更高水平的恐同和异性恋偏见相关，接受过心理治疗则与对男同性恋者和女同性恋者更积极的态度相关。与同性恋相关主题的教育程度与恐同和异性恋偏见程度无关。
