Abstract

In a series of four surveys administered either to college students or adults, reactions toward homosexuals were found to vary as a function of (1) the homosexual's likelihood of having contact with children and (2) the reproductive status (either real or imagined) of the respondent. These results are consistent with the hypothesis advanced by Gallup and Suarez (1983) that because parents have a reproductive interest in the sexual orientation of their offspring, reactions to homosexuals might be expected to vary as a function of their likelihood of having contact with children. The strong form of this hypothesis holds that the expression of homophobia should be context specific and that most people (including homosexuals) should exhibit homophobic reactions under certain conditions.

对同性恋的态度是由自然选择形成的吗?
在对大学生和成年人进行的一系列四项调查中,人们对同性恋者的反应各不相同,这取决于(1)同性恋者与儿童接触的可能性;(2)被调查者的生育状况(无论是真实的还是想象的)。这些结果与盖洛普(Gallup)和苏亚雷斯(Suarez)(1983)提出的假设一致,即由于父母对后代的性取向有生殖兴趣,因此对同性恋者的反应可能会随着他们与孩子接触的可能性而变化。这一假说的有力形式认为,恐同的表达应该是特定情境的,大多数人(包括同性恋者)应该在特定条件下表现出恐同反应。
