LGBT people amongst the youth
Woodford et al. examine the factors that shape college students’ perceptions of the LGBT community rather than individual entities. Using a sample of heterosexual graduate and American undergraduate students, the researchers found that age, gender, ethnicity/race, political ideology, and religious affiliation are all predictors of attitudes towards the community. This study helps guide the current research by identifying the most pertinent factors that influence heterosexual attitudes towards LGBT people amongst the youth.
