Sexual Prejudice (2014, background): “…ours, consider not just the type of nonheterosexual orientation but also whether the targets and heterosexual perceivers are men or women (e.g., Herek, 2000a, 2002; Herek & Capitanio, 1999b; Kite & Whitley, 1996, 1998; Nagoshi et al., 2008; Parrott & Gallagher, 2008; Parrott, Peterson,…”
Negative Parental Responses to Coming Out and Family Functioning in a Sample of Lesbian and Gay Young Adults (2015, background): “…as Italy, where religious feelings are ingrained in the culture, it is not unusual for LGBT people to experienced religion-based homophobia (Baiocco and Laghi 2013; Cartabia 2008; Herek 2000; Lingiardi et al. 2005, 2012); these experiences can prevent or delay the disclosure for fear of rejection.”
Heterosexuals' attitudes toward bisexual men and women in the United States (2002, background): “If heterosexual women are more likely than heterosexual men to express different attitudes toward bisexuals and homosexuals, perhaps they regard the two targets as distinct minority groups (Herek, 2000b).”
Unexplored dimensions of discrimination in Europe: homosexuality and physical appearance (2015, background): “This outcome is, however, more likely for gay males than for lesbians since attitudes towards gay males are much more hostile than are attitudes towards lesbians (Herek 2000; Kite and Whitley 1996).”
Gender Gaps in Public Opinion about Lesbians and Gay Men (2002, background): “This is not to suggest that heterosexuals’ attitudes toward gay men and lesbians are completely independent phenomena (see Herek 2000b).”
Confronting Sexual Stigma and Prejudice: Theory and Practice (2007, background): “By contrast, heterosexual men rated sexual minority males less favorably than sexual minority females, regardless of whether the target was bisexual or homosexual (Herek, 2000).”
Is Eco-Friendly Unmanly? The Green-Feminine Stereotype and Its Effect on Sustainable Consumption (2016, background): “For instance, research has shown that boys are pun-ished more severely than girls for displaying gender-incongruent forms of play (Langlois and Downs 1980) and that gay men are perceived more negatively than lesbians in various domains (Herek 2000).”
Formal and Interpersonal Discrimination: A Field Study of Bias Toward Homosexual Applicants (2002, background): “Also, despite previous evidence that society tends to be less accepting of male homosexuality than female homosexuality (e.g., see Herek, 2000; LaMar & Kite, 1998), we did not find evidence to suggest that lesbian applicants are responded to differently than gay male applicants.”
The Influence of Declining Homophobia on Men’s Gender in the United States: An Argument for the Study of Homohysteria (2014, background): “…attitudes toward homosexuality without discussing whether the attitudes refer to gay males or lesbians, but given that attitudes toward gay males and lesbians are strongly correlated (Herek 2000), these findings will be applicable to attitudes about male homosexuality—the focus of our argument.”
The Influence of Attitudes on Behavior (2005, background): “14Similar arguments have also been made in relation to discrimination based on gender and sexual preference (e.g., Ellis & Riggle, 1996; Herek, 2000; Herek & Capitanio, 1999; Huddy, Neely, & Lafay, 2000; Ridgeway, 1997).”
Predictors of Attitudes Toward Gay Men and Lesbian Women in 23 Countries (2020, background): “…the person level, studies conducted in the United States find that men tend to report more negative attitudes toward gay men (vs. lesbian women), whereas women do not differentiate (Herek, 2000, 2002; LaMar & Kite, 1998; Span & Vidal, 2003; but see Proulx, 1997, for a different pattern in Brazil).”
The Best of Times, the Worst of Times (2008, unknown): “Given these statistics and the negative attitudes often held toward gay men and lesbians (Haddock, Zanna, & Esses, 1993; Herek, 2000; Kite & Whitley, 1996; Waldo, 1999), it is particularly important for organizations and researchers to give substantial attention to gay and lesbian employees and thei”
Stigma or Sympathy? Attributions of Fault to Hate Crime Victims and Offenders (2006, methodology): “On the basis of previous research using similar versions of the ATGL scale on nationally representative samples (Herek 2000, 2002), this college sample appears to hold warmer attitudes towards lesbians and gay men.13 Insofar as attitudes underlie attributions of fault, these comparisons suggest…”
