IntroductnA growg body of rearch suggts that lbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)1 dividuals experience timate partner vlence (IPV) at rat that are equal to or higher than those among heterosexuals (Goldberg and Meyer, 2013, Nowski and Bowen, 2012, Walters et al., 2013). 2% of bisexual women reported any lifetime victimizatn of PA and 59% of gay men and 53% of bisexual men reported any lifetime victimizatn of PA (Walters et al., 2013) heterosexual dividuals PA often -occurs wh physil aggrsn (Follgstad, 2009) or is a precursor to physil aggrsn (Schumacher & Leonard, 2005), and PA perpetratn also predicts sexual aggrsn perpetratn (Ramisetty-Mikler, Caetano, & McGrath, 2007). While discrimatn and aggrsn agast sexual mori remas monplace (NCAVP, 2005, 2006), victims of antigay asslts are ls likely to report the crim to law enforcement pared to victims of other bias-motivated attacks (Dunbar, 2006; Herek, Gillis, & Cogan, 1999; NCAVP, 2003).

Ined, rearchers have long poted out that the male genr role is fed by ntrasts and that the ntrasts are mataed through the segregatn and persecutn of women and gay men as the non-mascule “other” (Frankl, 1998, 2000, 2004; Kimmel, 1997, 2000; Kimmel & Mahler, 2003).

PSYCHOLOGIL AGGRSN LBIAN, GAY, AND BISEXUAL DIVIDUALS' TIMATE RELATNSHIPS: A REVIEW OF PREVALENCE, RRELAT, AND MEASUREMENT ISSU

Heterosexual men may be motivated to enforce this ntrast for a number of reasons, cludg tradnal beliefs about marriage and fay (Hegarty, Pratto, & Lemix, 2004), beliefs that gay men are rriers of HIV (Pryor, Reer, Yeadon, & Hson-McInnis, 2004), to avoid unwanted sexual advanc (Herek, 2000a), and to ga stat and avoid emasculatn at the hands of their peers (Frankl, 2000; Harry, 1990; Kimmel, 1997). E., creased negative affect) rponse to pictur of nu men and male-male upl (Mahaffey, Bryan, & Hutchson, 2005a, 2005b) prejudice and exposure to male-male timate behavr have also been shown to facilate antigay aggrsn.

For example, numero survey-based vtigatns have shown that sexual prejudice is associated wh self-reported past aggrsive behavr toward gay men (Frankl, 2000; Patel, Long, McCammon, & Wuensch, 1995; Rorick, McCammon, Long, & Allred, 1998). In two laboratory-based studi (Bernat et al., 2001; Parrott & Zeichner, 2005), sexually prejudiced men who viewed male-male eroti displayed higher levels of aggrsn toward a gay, relative to a heterosexual, man. However, among men who viewed male-female eroti, no differenc aggrsn toward gay or heterosexual men were observed (Parrott & Zeichner, 2005) fdgs clearly monstrate an teractive effect of sexual prejudice and exposure to male-male timate behavr (i.

RELATNAL AGGRSN AND VICTIMIZATN GAY MALE RELATNSHIPS: THE ROLE OF TERNALIZED HOMOPHOBIA

Parrott and Zeichner (2005) showed that, among heterosexual men who were exposed to male-male eroti, the experience of anger was posively rrelated wh aggrsn agast a gay, relative to a heterosexual, male opponent. In a direct tt of this hypothis, Parrott and Peterson (2008) asssed sexual prejudice, anger rponse to a vigte pictg male-male timate relatnship behavr, and self-reported past aggrsive behavr toward gay men. Rults dited anger rponse to gay men fully mediated the relatn between sexual prejudice and the perpetratn of antigay is likely that multiple factors fluence an dividual's cisn to act aggrsively towards a gay man (Frankl, 1998; Parrott & Peterson, 2008).

Ined, Whley (2002) asserted that when a natural settg is feasible, the most elogilly valid laboratory settg is one that mimics the natural settg as closely as noted above, pertent theory (Frankl, 1998, 2000, 2004; Kimmel, 1997, 2000; Kimmel & Mahler, 2003) has highlighted the importance of exposure to male-male timate behavr as a risk factor for antigay aggrsn. 6Fay yearly e$55, 813$23, 234$57, 218$26, 635$39, 208$28, 888Race (%) Whe, non-Hispanic858444 Ain Amerin6728 Asian Amerin7618 Other2310Relatnship stat (%) Sgle, never married999897 Married022 Divorced11Qutnnaire BatteryDemographic form This self-report form was ed to asss age, race, tn, self-intified sexual orientatn, relatnship stat, and e Heterosexual-Homosexual Ratg Sle (KRS; Ksey, 1948) The KRS is a 7–pot, Likert style sle that asssed sexual orientatn along a ntuum.

‘EPIMIC OF VLENCE’: BRAZIL SHOCKED BY ‘BARBARIC’ GANG-RAPE OF GAY MAN

As such, the prent fdgs strengthen the view that sexual prejudice and exposure to male-male timate behavr are important variabl that activate an anger based pathway towards antigay aggrsn (Parrott & Peterson, 2008). Whether sexual prejudice and exposure to elogilly valid pictns of male-male timate behavr would also produce chang gnn and aroal and, ultimately, the extent to which the chang lead to an aggrsive oute awas further, the rults of the current vtigatn support the e of elogilly valid pictns of male-male timate behavr future rearch on antigay vlence.

AGGRSN TOWARD GAY MEN AS GENR ROLE ENFORCEMENT: EFFECTS OF MALE ROLE NORMS, SEXUAL PREJUDICE, AND MASCULE GENR ROLE STRS

Specifilly, extant lerature suggts that male-perpetrated aggrsn toward gay men functns to enforce tradnal genr norms (Hamner, 1992; Ke & Whley, 1998), prove one’s heterosexualy and masculy to other men (Frankl, 2000; Kimmel, 2000), satisfy thrill seekg sir (Frankl, 1998, 2000), and rce anxiety eliced by psychologil nflicts associated wh genr and sexualy (Frankl, 2000, Herek, 1986). Although empiril rearch supports the general distctns (Frankl, 2000), any given act of aggrsn toward gay men or other sexual mori is likely motivated by the nvergence of multiple this proliferatn of theoretil explanatns, empiril study of the motiv is of the utmost theoretil and applied importance. The purpose of the prent article is to exame simultaneoly the effects of multiple risk factors associated wh one theoretilly rived motivatn for male-perpetrated aggrsn toward gay men – genr role enforcement.

Aggrsn Toward Gay Men Motivated by Genr Role EnforcementDefn of risk factorsTheory and rearch suggt that antigay assailants motivated by genr role enforcement endorse tradnal beliefs about the male genr role. At the dividual level, heterosexuals’ ternalizatn of sexual stigma is manifted as sexual prejudice, which enpass “all negative attus based on sexual orientatn, whether the target is homosexual, bisexual, or heterosexual” (Herek, 2000a, p.

This view is supported by rearch suggtg that male sexual prejudice and aggrsn toward gay men are products of mascule socializatn generally (Shields & Harriman, 1984) and the endorsement of an antifemy theme wh the male role specifilly (Parrott et al., 2002; Thompson, Grisanti, & Pleck, 1985).

AGGRSN TOWARD GAY MEN AS GENR ROLE ENFORCEMENT: EFFECTS OF MALE ROLE NORMS, SEXUAL PREJUDICE, AND MASCULE GENR ROLE STRS

Th, asmuch as heterosexual men perceive gay men to be like women, endorsement of the antifemy norm should be particularly related to prejudice, anger, and aggrsn toward gay acrdance wh this theoretil nceptualizatn, rearch dit that heterosexual men’s attus toward gay men are generally more negative than their attus toward lbians (Gentry, 1987; Herek, 1988; Ke, 1994; Lim, 2002, Whley, 1987).

Empiril supportSeveral dividual-level risk factors for aggrsn toward gay men motivated by genr role enforcement have been intified and received empiril support, cludg endorsement of tradnal male genr role beliefs, sexual prejudice, mascule genr role strs, and exposure to male-male timate behavr.
