  • Title: AIDS knowledge and homophobia among French and American university students.
    Author: Conner G, Richman CL, Wallace S, Tilquin C.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1990 Dec; 67(3 Pt 2):1147-52. PubMed ID: 2084742.
    Abstract:
    22 male American and 24 male French college students' knowledge of AIDS scores were equivalent on a currently constructed 18-item questionnaire. Both groups answered more than 75% of the questions correctly. The American students' homophobic bias and reaction scores were higher than those of the French students on a 43-item homophobic questionnaire. The latter findings were interpreted as consistent with reduced effects of conservative, orthodox religion in France and the stability of traditional religious influence in America over the past three decades. No relation was found between knowledge of AIDS and homophobia in these small conveniently available samples.
