How people define sexual orientation may have important implications for understanding hostility toward sexual outgroups. This study used an ethnocentrism framework to predict how college students would define ‘heterosexuality’ and ‘bisexuality’ and under what conditions they would apply these labels to a woman. One hundred and eighty-nine heterosexual participants (125 female, 64 male) were asked to define either ‘heterosexuality’ or ‘bisexuality.’ As predicted, affective feelings and physical behaviors defined ‘heterosexuality’ whereas ‘bisexuality’ was defined solely by physical behavior. Participants also read a list of behaviors or emotions a woman had performed with or felt toward either a same-sex or cross-sex individual and indicated whether each of the items would indicate that the woman was bisexual or heterosexual, respectively. The authors confirmed that it took more extreme sexual behavior to label a woman ‘bisexual’ than it did to label her ‘heterosexual.’
