“…Consistent with previous findings, we observed substantial gender differences, with male participants exhibiting higher scores in CU-traits, holding significantly more antigay attitudes, and reporting to engage in antigay bullying more frequently than their female peers (Steffens and Wagner, 2004;Baier and Kamenowski, 2020). An explanation for this effect can be derived from the concept of hegemonic masculinity: those who do not conform to the predominant masculinity construct are devalued, excluded from the group, insulted or attacked (Scheibelhofer, 2018).…”

“…Antigay bullying may represent a particular form of antisocial behavior for its multifaceted socio-ecological origin. For instance, deep faith and religious fundamentalism are strongly related to prejudice based on perceived sexual orientation (Siraj, 2012;Küpper et al, 2017;Baier and Kamenowski, 2020). Thus, one could argue that religion has the potential to function as a surrogate parental figure because it shares many characteristics of "conventional" parental functions, such as providing a secure base (Kirkpatrick and Shaver, 1990;Granqvist and Kirkpatrick, 2008;Granqvist et al, 2010), which complicates the direct relationship between relationship quality and sexual prejudice.…”

Sexual prejudice negatively impacts our society and commonly manifests itself in hostile attitudes and aggressive behavior toward people who identify with the LGBTQIA+ community. Adolescents in particular are vulnerable to such negative world views. The present study investigated the impact of the parent-adolescent relationship quality, the potentially associated manifestation of psychopathic personality traits—so-called callous-unemotional (CU) traits—and their relation to sexual prejudice in adolescence. We observed that poor maternal relationship quality in terms of poor communication, lack of trust, and alienation is associated with selfish, cold-hearted personality traits. Moreover, we observed an indirect effect of CU-traits mediating the link between maternal relationship quality and antigay hostile attitudes and behavior. Our findings emphasize the crucial role of attachment in the development of a child's affective personality.

“…The evidence is mixed with regard to perpetration. While some studies suggest that adolescents with a migration background express more positive attitudes toward immigrants than their peers without a migration background (Losito et al, 2018), others found that they have stronger prejudices toward marginalized social groups such as homosexuals (Baier and Kamenowski, 2020). On the other hand, studies about online hate speech perpetration found no differences between students with and without a migration background (Wachs and Wright, 2018;Wachs et al, 2022a).…”

Hate speech in adolescents: A binational study on prevalence and demographic differences

Hate speech, or intentional derogatory expressions about people based on assigned group characteristics, has been studied primarily in online contexts. Less is known about the occurrence of this phenomenon in schools. As it has negative consequences for victims, perpetrators, and those who witness it, it is crucial to characterize the occurrence of offline (i.e., in the school) and online hate speech to describe similarities and differences between these two socialization contexts. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence of hate speech witnessing, victimization, and perpetration, in a sample of 3,620 7–9th graders (51% self-identified as female) from 42 schools in Germany and Switzerland. We found that 67% of the students witnessed hate speech in their school, and 65% witnessed online hate speech at least once in the past 12 months. Approximately 21% of the students self-identified as offline perpetrators and 33% as offline victims, whereas these percentages were lower for online hate speech (13 and 20%, respectively). In both settings, skin color and origin were the most common group references for hate speech (50% offline and 63% online). Offline hate speech mainly came from classmates (88%), unknown sources (e.g., graffiti; 19%), or teachers (12%), whereas online hate speech mostly came from unknown persons (77%). The most frequent forms of offline hate speech were offensive jokes (94%) and the spread of lies and rumors about the members of a specific social group (84%). Significant differences by country, gender, and migration background were observed. Girls reported more offline victimization experiences, less perpetration, and a greater frequency of witnessing hate speech. This difference was larger in magnitude in the online setting. Students in Switzerland reported being exposed to hate speech more often than students in Germany. Students with a migration background reported higher hate speech victimization based on skin color and origin than students without a migration background. The high prevalence of hate speech highlights the need for school-based prevention programs. Our findings are discussed in terms of the practical implications.
