Abstract

The literature on heterosexual adolescents’ television viewing and its over-time impact on attitudes and behaviors regarding LGBTQ+ is limited. The current study aims to fill this gap in the literature by using three-wave data from 338 heterosexual adolescents ( Mage = 15.29, SD = 1.48, 68.6% girls). We explored relations between adolescents’ perceived exposure to sex-positive television messages, their respectful approach to different sexual expressions, and their endorsement of supportive behavior regarding LGBTQ+. A Random Intercept Cross-Lagged Panel Model (RI-CLPM) showed that, at a between-person level, perceived exposure to sex-positive television messages was related to the endorsement of supportive behavior regarding LGBTQ+. Yet, results revealed that an increased perceived exposure to sex-positive television messages was not associated with respectful approach to different sexual expressions and endorsement of supportive behavior regarding LGBTQ+ at the individual level. No sex or traditional gender role orientation differences were found. Our findings hopefully encourage sexual media research to further distinguish between-and within-person relations and to consider potential testing effects that mask true within-person change.

异性恋青少年对性正面电视信息的感知暴露与他们对LGBTQ+社区的支持态度和行为之间的纵向关系

关于异性恋青少年观看电视及其对LGBTQ+态度和行为的长期影响的文献是有限的。目前的研究旨在通过使用338名异性恋青少年的三波数据来填补文献中的这一空白（Mage = 15.29，标准差 = 女孩占68.6%）。我们探讨了青少年对性正面电视信息的感知暴露、他们对不同性表达的尊重态度以及他们对LGBTQ+支持行为的认可之间的关系。随机拦截交叉滞后面板模型（RI-CLPM）显示，在人与人之间的水平上，对性正面电视信息的感知暴露与对LGBTQ+支持行为的认可有关。然而，研究结果显示，对性正面电视信息的感知暴露增加与对不同性表达的尊重态度以及在个人层面对LGBTQ+支持行为的认可无关。没有发现性别或传统性别角色取向的差异。我们的发现有望鼓励性媒体研究进一步区分人与人之间的关系，并考虑潜在的测试效果，以掩盖真正的人与人的变化。
