The research investigated (a) the connection between attitudes toward homosexuality and same-sex parenting; (b) the socio-demographic and socio-cultural variables linked to such attitudes; and (c) the knowledge behind these attitudes. The 223 participants completed a self-report questionnaire including the Attitudes Toward Lesbians and Gay Men Scale (revised version), an attitudes toward same-sex parenting scale, and a personal data form, and answered some questions about their knowledge of homosexuality. The results showed an association between attitudes toward homosexuality and attitudes toward same-sex parenting, and a connection between socio-demographic variables, knowledge about homosexuality and same-sex parenting, and positivity/negativity levels of attitudes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
