Abstract
En 中文
Prior research on the relation between frequency of contact with asexual people and antiasexual bias yields inconsistent findings, and research on attitudes toward nonbinary people is extremely limited. No studies have assessed the extent to which viewing asexual or nonbinary people as part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) community is associated with antiasexual bias or antinonbinary bias, respectively, within the LGBTQ+ community. This two-study article builds on existing research and addresses gaps in the literature. Based on social identity theory and contact theory, the aims of the studies were to understand the associations between antiasexual bias (Study 1) or antinonbinary bias (Study 2) within the LGBTQ+ community and (a) the extent to which LGBTQ+ people viewed asexual/nonbinary people as part of the LGBTQ+ community, (b) the strength of LGBTQ+ people's LGBTQ+ identity, and (c) LGBTQ+ people's contact with asexual/nonbinary people. Three hundred and seventeen LGBTQ+ participants completed an online survey on attitudes toward asexual people, and 306 LGBTQ+ people completed a survey on attitudes toward nonbinary people. Multiple regression revealed that the extent to which LGBTQ+ people viewed asexual/nonbinary people as part of the LGBTQ+ ingroup was significantly negatively associated with antiasexual/antinonbinary bias and moderated the relation between the strength of LGBTQ+ people's identity and antiasexual/antinonbinary bias. Contact frequency had a small, significantly positive association with antiasexual bias but was not significantly associated with antinonbinary bias. This work concludes with implication for theory.
