Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Homonegativity adversely affects the health and well-being of homosexuals in society, making it vital to identify factors associated with it. This study investigates whether active membership in voluntary organizations correlates with homonegativity, examining how this varies by gender and age.
METHODS: Using the World Values Survey data (2017-2022) from 87,777 participants in 63 countries, we performed binary logistic regression to assess relationships between homonegativity and factors including socioeconomic status, demographics, and voluntary activity participation.
RESULTS: Our findings suggest that active membership in certain voluntary organizations correlates with homonegativity levels among both men and women across various age groups. Specifically, active participation in sports or recreational organizations, professional associations, art, music, or educational organizations, and humanitarian or charitable organizations was found to be negatively correlated with homonegativity in specific gender-age groups, albeit with varying degrees of association strength.
CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the complex relationship between engagement in voluntary organizations and attitudes toward homosexuality, with significant differences observed across gender and age. While identifying a correlation rather than causation, this study suggests the importance of societal and community participation in fostering more tolerant views toward homosexuals. Furthermore, our analysis indicates that demographic and socioeconomic variables, the political freedom of the respondent\'s country, and the respondent\'s life satisfaction are also linked to homonegativity.

摘要：
目标：同源性对社会中同性恋者的健康和福祉产生不利影响，确定与之相关的因素至关重要。这项研究调查了志愿组织的积极成员资格是否与同源性相关，检查这如何因性别和年龄而异。
方法：使用来自63个国家的87,777名参与者的世界价值观调查数据（2017-2022年），我们进行了二元逻辑回归来评估同源性和包括社会经济地位在内的因素之间的关系，人口统计，参与志愿活动。
结果：我们的研究结果表明，某些志愿组织的积极成员资格与不同年龄段的男性和女性的同质性水平相关。具体来说,积极参与体育或娱乐组织，专业协会,艺术,音乐,或教育组织，发现人道主义或慈善组织与特定性别年龄组的同性呈负相关，尽管有不同程度的联想强度。
结论：这项研究强调了参与志愿组织与对同性恋的态度之间的复杂关系，在性别和年龄之间观察到显著差异。在确定相关性而不是因果关系的同时，这项研究表明，社会和社区参与在培养对同性恋者更宽容的观点方面的重要性。此外，我们的分析表明，人口和社会经济变量，被告国家的政治自由，受访者的生活满意度也与同质性有关。
