Prejudice Against Homosexuals: The Effects Of Religion And Acculturation On Hispanic College Students

Abstract

Hispanic college students at two universities (69 students at the University of Texas-Pan American [UTPA] and 84 students at the University of Central Florida [UCF]) were given two measures of prejudice against homosexuals and two measures of religiosity. They were also tested with a measure of acculturation to the United States, i.e., liking U.S. values, food, entertainment, etc. For the students of Puerto Rican or Cuban heritage at UCF, religion was associated with prejudice against homosexuals. There was no effect for acculturation. But at UTPA with Mexican-American students, while religion was associated with anti-homosexual prejudice, acculturation to the USA was associated with a lack of anti-homosexual prejudice.
