Abstract

ABSTRACT Compared to most developed democracies, South Korea lags behind in terms of LGBT tolerance. This analysis suggests that relational proximity and knowing a Korean LGBT person influence this tolerance. Through an experimental web survey design, results show that the closer the relational proximity (coworker versus friend versus family member), the less one stated their comfort with being around a homosexual. The same pattern endures among those who knew a South Korean LGBT person, although rates of acceptance were much higher. In addition, this analysis finds of South Korea’s three main religions, only Protestant identification corresponded with a statistically significant decline in tolerance.

韩国同性恋者的接近、接触和容忍:来自一项实验调查的证据

摘要与大多数发达民主国家相比，韩国在LGBT容忍度方面落后。这项分析表明，关系上的亲近感和对韩国LGBT人群的了解会影响这种宽容。通过一项实验性的网络调查设计，结果显示，关系距离越近（同事与朋友与家人），与同性恋相处的舒适度就越低。同样的模式在那些认识韩国LGBT人士的人中也存在，尽管接受率要高得多。此外，这项分析发现，在韩国的三大主要宗教中，只有新教认同与宽容度的统计显著下降相对应。
