  • Social Psychology
  • Attitude Research

Background:

  • Anti-homosexual responses are widespread but inconsistently defined.
  • Previous research lacks consensus on whether these responses are phobic or prejudicial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the nature of anti-homosexual responses in male and female undergraduates.
  • To differentiate between phobic and prejudicial components of these attitudes.

Main Methods:

  • Undergraduates responded to questionnaires targeting gay and lesbian individuals.
  • Responses were analyzed to determine if they reflected phobia or prejudice.

Main Results:

  • Little evidence supports characterizing anti-homosexual responses as a phobia.

  • Findings suggest these responses are primarily rooted in prejudice.
  • Males exhibited less tolerance towards gays and lesbians than females.
  • Gender differences were observed in responses to same-sex targets.

    • Conclusions:

    • Anti-homosexual attitudes are best described as prejudice, potentially termed 'homoprejudice'.
    • Results highlight gender disparities in tolerance towards homosexual individuals.
    • Further research is needed to explore the nuances of homoprejudice and its implications.
