Abstract

Women's fear has been explained as rooted in fears of sexual assault-a phenomenon known as the shadow of sexual assault hypothesis. The current study extends this hypothesis to examine whether lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons' fear of hate crimes is shadowed by fears of sexual assault. Results indicate that bisexual and transgender persons express greater fear of hate crimes relative to others. This fear is explained by their fear of sexual assault-supporting the shadow hypothesis for bisexual and transgender persons. Findings suggest the importance of fear of sexual assault in explaining sexual and gender minorities' fear of hate crimes.

扩展 "性侵犯阴影假说"：女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性者对性暴力和仇恨犯罪的恐惧。

女性的恐惧被解释为源于对性侵犯的恐惧--这种现象被称为性侵犯阴影假说。本研究对这一假说进行了延伸，研究了女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人对仇恨犯罪的恐惧是否受到性侵犯恐惧的影响。研究结果表明，双性恋和变性者对仇恨犯罪的恐惧程度高于其他人。他们对性侵犯的恐惧可以解释这种恐惧--支持双性恋者和变性者的阴影假说。研究结果表明，在解释性少数群体和性别少数群体对仇恨犯罪的恐惧时，对性侵犯的恐惧非常重要。
