본 연구는 동성애자들에 대한 태도를 예측하는 것으로 가정된 심리사회적 변인들의 상대적 영향력을 규명하고자 진행되었다. 전국 4개 지역의 6개 4년제 대학에 재학 중인 401명의 대학생들이 인구통계학적 설문지와 심리사회적 변인들(성역할태도, 가족가치관, 종교성향, 권위주의, 문화적 가치)을 측정하는 검사 도구를 각각 평정하였다. 그 결과, 남학생들의 경우 외현적 종교성향이 약하고 전통적인 성역할태도를 고수할수록 동성애자에 대해 부정적인 태도를 지닌 것으로 드러났다. 반면, 여학생들의 경우엔 권위주의적 성향이 강할수록, 내현적 종교성향이 강할수록, 외현적 종교성향이 약할수록, 그리고 전통적인 성역할에 대한 믿음이 강할수록 동성애자들에 대해 부정적인 태도를 보이는 것으로 드러났다. 본 연구는 특정한 지역의 대학생들을 대상으로 하였기 때문에 연구결과를 일반화하는 데는 한계가 있다. 그러나 본 연구결과는 동성애자와 이성애자 모두의 지적, 개인적 발달을 증진시키기 위해서는 동성애자에 대한 부정적 태도와 관련된 변인들을 탐색해서 동성애자들에 대한 편견을 줄이고 예방할 수 있는 프로그램을 개발할 필요가 있음을 시사한다.
This study examined the relative importance of psychosocial variables in predicting heterosexuals' reactions to homosexuals. Undergraduate and graduate students (N = 401) enrolled at six universities in four different areas participated in the study. Results indicated that heterosexual males expressed more hostile attitudes toward homosexuals when they had high levels of explicit religiosity and traditional gender role attitudes. On the contrary, for heterosexual females, their homophobic attitudes were associated with high levels of authoritarianism, implicit religiosity, traditional gender role attitudes, and a low level of explicit religiosity. Implications for counseling training and areas for future research were discussed.
