Abstract：
Access to social services like healthcare, education, housing, and welfare are integral to creating an equitable society. While many populations inherently benefit from these services, sex workers are often denied these rights and services because of the nature of their work. The purpose of this study was to examine perceptions of deservingness of sex workers for a wide range of rights and services. This study distinguished those attitudes across legal and illegal forms of sex work, identified attitudinal and demographic correlates associated with those perceptions, and examined potential interactions between respondents\' gender and age. Participants included a nationwide sample of adults from the USA (n = 549). Results indicated that participants perceived legal sex work as more deserving of rights and services compared to illegal sex work. Perceptions of deservingness were associated with attitudes toward abortion, LGBTQ+ rights, and perceptions of government legitimacy. Overall, older individuals were less willing to extend rights and services to sex workers and women were more likely to perceive sex workers as deserving of rights and services. There was an interaction between gender and age. For illegal sex work, gender differences in perceptions converged as participants aged, whereas for legal sex work, gender differences were exacerbated with age, with men reporting particularly restrictive perceptions of deservingness.
摘要：
获得医疗保健等社会服务，教育,住房,和福利是建立公平社会的组成部分。虽然许多人固有地受益于这些服务，性工作者往往因为其工作性质而被剥夺这些权利和服务。这项研究的目的是研究性工作者对广泛权利和服务的理性看法。这项研究区分了合法和非法形式的性工作的态度，确定与这些感知相关的态度和人口统计学相关性，并检查了受访者性别和年龄之间的潜在互动。参与者包括来自美国的成年人的全国样本(n=549)。结果表明，与非法性工作相比，参与者认为合法的性工作更值得享有权利和服务。对自然的看法与对堕胎的态度有关，LGBTQ+权利，以及对政府合法性的看法。总的来说,老年人不太愿意将权利和服务扩展到性工作者，而女性更有可能认为性工作者应该得到权利和服务。性别和年龄之间存在相互作用。因为非法的性工作，感知上的性别差异随着参与者年龄的增长而趋同，而对于合法的性工作，性别差异随着年龄的增长而加剧，男性报告对应得的看法特别严格。
