Abstract：
Using a vignette methodology, this study examined reactions to same-gender versus other-gender flirtation in a sample of 445 German young adults: 320 participants with a heterosexual orientation and 125 participants with a lesbian or gay (LG) orientation. Even in LG-friendly societies as Germany, receiving advances from someone of the same gender might still evoke heterosexuals\' homonegativity. Another factor that might influence heterosexuals\' reactions to same-gender flirtation is the fear of being misidentified as LG (social contagion concerns). Contrary to hypothesis, results provided little evidence to classify heterosexual participants\' reactions to same-gender flirters as homonegative. Firstly, heterosexual participants showed the same degree of negative affect and avoidance behavior in the same-gender flirtation condition as LG participants did in the other-gender flirtation condition. Only positive affect scores were somewhat lower for heterosexual participants in the same-gender flirtation condition compared to LG participants in the other-gender flirtation condition. Secondly, when anti-LG attitudes and social contagion concerns were considered together, only social contagion concerns contributed to explaining variance in heterosexual participants\' response to same-gender flirters. Specifically, the impact of social contagion concerns on heterosexual participants\' avoidance of same-gender flirters was mediated by (lacking) positive affect, but not negative affect.
摘要：
使用小插图方法，这项研究调查了445名德国年轻成年人对同性和其他性别调情的反应:320名具有异性恋倾向的参与者和125名具有女同性恋或男同性恋(LG)倾向的参与者.即使在像德国这样对LG友好的社会中，从同一个性别的人那里得到进步可能仍然会唤起异性恋者的同质性。另一个可能影响异性恋者对同性调情的反应的因素是害怕被误认为是LG（社会传染问题）。与假设相反，结果几乎没有证据将异性恋参与者对同性调情者的反应归类为同源反应。首先,异性恋参与者在同性别调情条件下表现出与LG参与者在其他性别调情条件下相同程度的负面影响和回避行为。与其他性别调情条件下的LG参与者相比，在同性别调情条件下的异性恋参与者只有积极的影响得分要低一些。其次,当把反LG的态度和社会传染问题放在一起考虑时，只有社会传染问题有助于解释异性恋参与者对同性调情者反应的差异。具体来说,社会传染问题对异性恋参与者避免同性调情的影响是由(缺乏)积极影响介导的，但不是负面影响。
