Genr stereotype theory suggts that men are generally perceived as more mascule than women, whereas women are generally perceived as more feme than men. Several sl have been veloped to measure fundamental aspects of genr stereotyp (e.g., agency and munn, petence and warmth, or stmentaly and exprsivy). Although omted later versn, Bem's origal Sex Role Inventory clud the ems “mascule” and “feme” addn to more specific genr-stereotypil attribut. We argue that is eful to be able to measure the two re ncepts a reliable, valid, and parsimon way. We troduce a new and brief sle, the Tradnal Masculy-Femy (TMF) sle, signed to asss central facets of self-ascribed masculy-femy. Studi 1–2 ed known-groups approach (participants differg genr and sexual orientatn) to validate the sle and provi evince of s nvergent validy. As expected the TMF reliably measured a one-dimensnal masculy-femy nstct. Moreover, the TMF rrelated morately wh other genr-related measur. Demonstratg cremental validy, the TMF predicted genr and sexual orientatn a superr way than tablished adjective-based measur. Furthermore, the TMF was nnected to crern characteristics, such as judgments as straight by laypersons for the whole sample, voice pch characteristics for the female subsample, and ntact to gay men for the mal...

The phrase “g out” is ed to refer to several aspects of lbian, gay, and bisexual persons’ experienc: self-awarens of same-sex attractns; the tellg of one or a few people about the attractns; wispread disclosure of same-sex attractns; and intifitn wh the lbian, gay, and bisexual muny.
Lbian, gay, and bisexual youth who do well spe strs—like all adolcents who do well spe strs—tend to be those who are socially petent, who have good problem-solvg skills, who have a sense of tonomy and purpose, and who look forward to the future. If they are a heterosexual relatnship, their experienc may be que siar to those of people who intify as heterosexual unls they choose to e out as bisexual; that se, they will likely face some of the same prejudice and discrimatn that lbian and gay dividuals enunter.
To tt this assumptn, we nducted a study aimed at examg the relatnship between genr intifitn and attus toward lbians and gay men among people of different genrs and sexual Iology and Attus toward Gay PeopleGenr iology, broad terms, is ually unrstood as an dividual’s ternalizatn of cultural belief systems and attus toward members of a particular genr group. Prev rults revealed that endorsement of TMI was associated wh negative attus toward women (Corprew III et al., 2014; Gage &Lease, 2018; Hyatt et al., 2017; Lease et al., 2020; Stanr et al., 2018) and gay people (Barron et al., 2008; Keiller, 2010; McDermott et al., 2014; Parrott et al., 2002) scholars have suggted that tradnal genr iologi might expla genr differenc attus toward gay men and lbian women.

This difference is likely due to straight people exprsg more negative attus than sexual mory dividuals toward sexual together, studi on tradnal genr iologi may expla the differenc attus toward gay people that exist between men and women, and between straight and sexual mory dividuals.
To fill this gap, we turn to the examatn of genr Inty and Attus toward Gay PeopleGenr inty is ually referred to as the tegorizatn of onelf as female or male, along wh the importance of this tegorizatn for one’s self-fn (Wood &Eagly, 2015). Sce people of diverse genrs and sexuali support different genr iologi, one might assume that the groups there will be a different relatnship between genr intifitn and attus toward gay particular, sce TMI impli stricter adherence to differenc between men and women than TFI, we hypothized that stronger genr intifitn among men would be associated wh more negative attus toward lbians and gay men than among women (hypothis 1).

In addn, sce straight dividuals were found to endorse tradnal genr iologi more than sexual mory dividuals, we hypothized that stronger genr intifitn would be associated wh more negative attus toward lbians and gay men among straight people than among sexual mory dividuals (hypothis 2) wh stronger genr intifitn attribute more stereotypil characteristics to genr -group members, give a more posive asssment of people who nform to genr stereotyp, and a more negative asssment of people who vlate them.
Sce, acrdg to tradnal genr iologi, men should emphasize their differenc om women more than women do om men, we hypothized that stronger genr intifitn would be associated wh more negative attus toward gay men than toward lbians (hypothis 3) Context of the StudyMost of the studi on the relatnship between tradnal genr iologi, genr inty and attus toward gay people have been nducted the USA and some European untri that are ually characterized by relatively high levels of genr equaly and posive attus toward gay people. In our opn, featur of the social ntext would strengthen the lk between genr intifitn and attus toward lbians and gay featur of the social ntext dite that, on the one hand, tradnal genr iologi are wispread Rsia, and, on the other, there are no social norms that lim the exprsn of negative attus toward lbians and gay men. In particular, several studi have revealed that bisexual people tend to be exclud by both straight and gay dividuals; they were stereotyped as ls tstworthy, ls cled toward monogamo relatnships and not as able to mata a long-term relatnship (Burke &LaFrance, 2016; Zivony &Lobel, 2014).

All qutnnair had two different versns ed for randomly assigned rponnts: one versn, prented to 438 participants, referred to ‘gay men’, while the send, referrg to ‘lbian women’, was prented to 413 measure the perceived abnormaly of beg a gay person, we ed the Threat to Moraly sle om the Rsian Attus to Homosexuals Inventory (RAHI; Gulevich et al., 2016). Next, the teractn between genr intifitn and the rponnts’ sexual orientatn (hypothis 2) was examed, followed by the teractn between genr intifitn and the type of attus toward gay people (hypothis 3) analysis was nducted the R environment (R Core Team, 2020).

However, the current rults revealed genr differenc asssg the perceived normaly of homosexualy, negative emotns toward gay people, and support for their fay and munitn general, the study’s fdgs supported the assumptn that more negative attus toward gay people were predicted by stronger genr intifitn of the rponnts. They showed that the subsample of men, stronger gnive and emotnal-evaluative ponents of genr intifitn were associated wh more negative attus toward gay men and lbian women, while the subsample of women this associatn was prent only for support for munitn general, the rults are le wh those om a Swiss study that monstrated that strong genr intifitn was associated wh more negative attus toward gay people among men, but not women (Falomir-Pichastor &Mugny, 2009).
Taken together, the fdgs dited that the lk between genr intifitn and attus toward gay men and lbian women was morated by genr and sexual, we hypothized that genr intifitn would be associated wh more negative attus toward gay men than lbian women. This might be due to the cultural ntext, which the distctn between gay men and lbian women is barely ma, and gay people are ually referred to as a homogeneo, our study ntribut to the existg lerature on attus toward gay men and lbian women.
At the same time, our rearch has revealed that genr intifitn, pecially s gnive ponent, is strongly related to attus toward gay men and lbian women, though the lk was morated by one’s genr and sexual, prev studi were nducted North Amerin and European untri, and their rults were based on predomantly straight rponnts. Th, although possible, we believe is unlikely that the relatnship between genr intifitn and attus toward homosexual dividuals would have been affected by social sirabily (see Tracey, 2016), our data did not allow for an examatn of the lk among cisgenr and transgenr dividuals. 27, 2023): In Chapter 3, the chart “Nearly six--ten Black adults say Black anizatns should addrs the challeng Black LGBTQ people face, ” the rows for women and men have been eded to rrect an versn the percentag of Black women and Black men who thk anizatns should addrs challeng that Black gay and lbian people face.
