While openness was negatively related only to explicit prejudice, values, one of the facets of openness, was negatively related to both explicit and implicit prejudice. However, male participants had more negative implicit attitudes toward lesbians than female participants did in fact, females’ implicit attitudes toward lesbians were not biased. There was no participant sex difference in implicit attitudes toward gay men. Implicit prejudice against gay men was also higher than lesbians. We found that participants in general had more negative explicit attitudes toward gay men than lesbians. They then took an Implicit Association Test designed to assess implicit attitudes toward homosexuals. College students (N = 56) responded to questionnaires assessing explicit attitudes toward homosexuals and openness, one of the five factors of personality.
The present study examined Koreans’ explicit and implicit attitudes toward homosexuals and how openness is related to them. Identity politics is extreme misrepresentation of social and inter-personal reality.ĭespite recent social movements to protect homosexuals’ rights in Korea, psychological research investigating attitudes toward homosexuals has been largely ignored.

It functions to gate-keep male full admission to the group, serving to police male sexual access, maximising reproductive efficiency, not to deal with out-group threat, nor to oppress (least of all females). Supposed homophobia is revealed to be a far wider phenomenon, encompassing all victim categories, manifest culturally in male initiation and scientifically evidenced across fields. This is revealed in the predominance of males as hate crime victims, the harsher attitude towards apparently more masculine subsets of sexual minority and race, and experimentally. Previous findings that misogyny has no scientific basis, with the evidence instead of philogyny and misandry, extend to apply across all victim categories, trumping race or sexual orientation. Negative attitude is specifically towards males, and evoked by any form of significant difference. Identity politics (often dubbed political correctness: PC) victim categories (protected characteristics) are shown to be false. Given the apparent malleability of attentional biases, future research should strive to better understand the factors involved in reducing attentional bias, and by extension, discriminatory behaviors toward minority groups. Results indicated that participants exposed to low entitativity statements directed less behavioral and neural attention toward gay relative to straight couples compared to those exposed to high entitativity statements. Following this task, 199 participants completed a dot probe task in Experiment 1 and electroencephalogram (EEG) activity was recorded for 74 participants in Experiment 2 to measure the implicit attentional processing that resulted from viewing pictures of gay, lesbian, and straight couples. Across two experiments, heterosexual college students were randomly assigned to read statements that suggested that homosexual and heterosexual couples were either high or low in entitativity. This study investigated whether attentional bias toward homosexual couples differs as a function of the manipulation of perceived entitativity, the degree to which group members are perceived to share common values and pursue common goals.
