Predictors of Heterosexual College Students’ Attitudes Toward LGBT People
This study identifies the predictors of U.S. heterosexual undergraduate and graduate college students’ attitudes toward lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people as a group rather than toward individual identities. Findings suggest that affirming LGBT attitudes are most strongly associated with liberal political ideology and whether one believes in biological causation of transgender identity. Understanding sexual orientation as biolo…
Predicting the Support of Same-Sex Relationship Rights Among Social Work Students
Since the 1980s, the United States has seen several instances of legislative action on the topic of same-sex marriages and civil unions. As some studies explored public reactions to such laws, the perspectives of social workers and social work students have mostly been ignored. In addressing part of this oversight, this paper looks at the approval of same-sex relationship rights among 571 heterosexual social work students enrolled in 12 U.S. coll…
Attitudes Toward Gays and Lesbians Among Undergraduate Social Work Students
This article identifies the factors behind students’ attitudes toward lesbian and gay individuals on the basis of the responses of 575 heterosexual undergraduates from 12 social work programs in the United States. Consistent with attribution theory, the findings suggest that the belief that sexual orientation is a choice is the strongest predictor of responses to gays and lesbians. The precepts of social learning theory and the intergroup contact…

Support of rights for gay men and lesbians was investigated in a sample of students from 12 colleges and universities across the United States. The belief that religious teachings against homosexuality are not reasonable was the strongest predictor of support, followed by the belief that homosexuality is caused by biological forces beyond control of the individual, the belief that friends and parents were accepting of homosexuality, and having a …

Structure of Lifestyle Disruptions in Chronic Disease
BACKGROUND: The Illness Intrusiveness Ratings Scale (IIRS) measures the extent to which disease or its treatment or both interfere with activities in important life domains. Before comparing IIRS scores within or across groups it is crucial to determine whether a common underlying factor structure exists across patient populations. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the factor structure underlying the IIRS and evaluate its stability across diagnoses. METH…
