ABSTRACT Young athletes are engaging in sports in an ever-evolving environment where larger discourses and public opinion polls suggest that attitudes toward sexual and gender minorities (SGM) are becoming more tolerant and affirming. In this mixed-methods study, we examined 151 heterosexual college student athletes’ perceptions of the sports climate for SGM athletes and their own self-reported intervention in SGM-related prejudice in sports. Consistent with studies with SGM-identified athlete samples, participants reported high levels of SGM-related bias in the collegiate sporting context. Although participants reported fairly high levels of personally accepting attitudes toward SGM people, few reported intervening in SGM-related bias. Athletes’ affirming personal beliefs about SGM populations were associated with a greater likelihood of intervening in SGM-related bias, whereas perceptions of a heterosexist sports climate were associated with a lower likelihood of intervening.

运动员对性少数和性别少数运动员的气候观念及其对偏见的干预

摘要年轻运动员正在不断发展的环境中从事体育运动，在更大范围的讨论和民意测验中，人们对性少数和性别少数群体（SGM）的态度正变得更加宽容和肯定。在这项混合方法研究中，我们研究了151名异性恋大学生运动员对SGM运动员的运动气候的看法，以及他们自己报告的对SGM相关的运动偏见的干预。与对SGM识别出的运动员样本进行的研究一致，参与者报告了在大学体育环境中与SGM相关的偏见水平很高。尽管参与者报告称自己对SGM人的态度很高，但很少有人干预SGM相关的偏见。
