| Summary: | 碩士 === 玄奘大學 === 應用心理學系碩士班 === 105 === In this study, a questionnaire survey mainly targeting people aged 18 or above was conducted in Taiwan. The aim was to determine whether people’s in-depth mentality regarding the draft legislation of diverse family formation is connected to their attitudes towards homosexuality and their relation with sexism. A quantitative research method was used, and respondents answered the questionnaire online. A total of 1224 valid samples were collected; these were analysed using the SPSS software. Findings:
(1)A positive correlation was observed between attitudes towards homosexuality and those towards diverse family formation: the more positive people’s attitudes towards homosexuality, the more supportive their attitudes towards diverse family formation. A negative correlation was observed for the relation between sexism and attitudes towards diverse family formation: the stronger the sexism, the less supportive people’s attitudes towards diverse family formation. A negative correlation was also observed between sexism and attitudes towards homosexuality: the stronger the sexism, the more negative people’s attitudes towards homosexuality.
(2)A negative correlation existed between age and attitudes towards diverse family formation: the older the people, the less supportive their attitudes towards diverse family formation. A negative correlation existed between age and attitudes towards homosexuality: the older the people, the more negative their attitudes towards homosexuality.
(3)Women’s attitudes towards diverse family formation were significantly more positive than men’s and attitudes towards homosexuality significantly higher than men’s.
(4)People with homosexual friends were significantly more positive in their attitudes towards homosexuality and diverse family formation than those without.
(5)People with homosexual family members were significantly more positive in their attitudes towards homosexuality and diverse family formation than those without.
(6)A significantly difference was observed among people’s attitudes towards homosexuality and diverse family formation due to the frequency of their contact with homosexual media. With respect to attitudes towards homosexuality, the group that watched such media more was significantly more positive in its attitude than the one that only occasionally did or never did so. Furthermore, the group that occasionally watched such media was significantly more positive in its attitude than the one that never did so. With respect to attitudes towards diverse family formation, the group that watched such media more was significantly more positive in its attitude than the one that occasionally did or never did so. Moreover, the group that occasionally watched such media was significantly more positive in its attitude than the one that never did so.
Finally, the results and limitations were discussed, and suggestions for future study was presented.
