초록

최근 국내에서 동성애자의 인권을 보호하고자 하는 움직임이 일어나고 있지만, 동성애자에 대한 한국인의 태도를 알아본 연구는 극히 드물다. 본 연구는 게이와 레즈비언에 대한 한국인의 외현적 및 암묵적 태도를 알아보고, 각각이 개방성 및 가치개방성과 가지는 관련성을 확인하였다. 56명의 참여자들은 게이와 레즈비언에 대한 태도 척도에 응답하고, 성격 5요인 중 개방성 항목에 응답하였다. 그 후, 동성애자를 대상으로 한 암묵적 연합 검사(Implicit Association Test)를 수행하였다. 그 결과, 성별에 상관없이 참여자들은 레즈비언보다 게이에 대해서 더 높은 외현적 편견을 가지고 있었다. 게이에 대한 암묵적 편견 역시 레즈비언에 대한 암묵적 편견보다 높았다. 게이에 대한 암묵적 편견은 성별에 따라 차이가 없는 반면, 레즈비언에 대한 암묵적 편견은 남성 참여자가 여성 참여자보다 더 높았으며 여성 참여자는 레즈비언에 대한 암묵적 편견이 없는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 개방성은 외현적 편견과 부적 상관관계에 있었지만, 가치개방성은 외현적 및 암묵적 편견 모두와 부적 상관관계에 있었다. 본 연구는 국내에서 최초로 동성애자에 대한 외현적 및 암묵적 태도를 모두 측정해 동성애자에 대한 한국인의 태도를 입체적으로 확인하고, 가치개방성과 동성애자에 대한 태도가 긴밀하게 관련됨을 확인했다는 의의를 가진다.

Abstract

Despite recent social movements to protect homosexuals’ rights in Korea, psychological research investigating attitudes toward homosexuals has been largely ignored. The present study examined Koreans’ explicit and implicit attitudes toward homosexuals and how openness is related to them. College students (N = 56) responded to questionnaires assessing explicit attitudes toward homosexuals and openness, one of the five factors of personality. They then took an Implicit Association Test designed to assess implicit attitudes toward homosexuals. We found that participants in general had more negative explicit attitudes toward gay men than lesbians. Implicit prejudice against gay men was also higher than lesbians. There was no participant sex difference in implicit attitudes toward gay men. However, male participants had more negative implicit attitudes toward lesbians than female participants did; in fact, females’ implicit attitudes toward lesbians were not biased. While openness was negatively related only to explicit prejudice, values, one of the facets of openness, was negatively related to both explicit and implicit prejudice. This was the first study in Korea that investigated both explicit and implicit attitudes toward gay men and lesbians.
