Abstract Using data from a survey administered at 61 institutions from 2011 to 2015, we examined how campus support structures for sexual minority students (e.g., a recognized LGBTQ student organization) influence student perceptions of the campus climate for worldview diversity at Christian colleges and universities. Further, analysis of the survey data explored whether the effects of institutional supports on climate perceptions differ for sexual minority and heterosexual students. Findings suggest that campus support structures for the LGB + community play a role in shaping students’ perceptions of the worldview diversity climate at Christian institutions. For one support structure in particular–educational programs/series–the effects on climate perceptions among LGB + individuals are stronger than they are for heterosexual students. Implications for research and practice are discussed fully at the conclusion of the article.

检查基督教高等教育中性少数学生的制度支持结构和世界观气候

摘要 使用 2011 年至 2015 年在 61 所机构进行的一项调查的数据，我们研究了针对性少数学生的校园支持结构（例如，公认的 LGBTQ 学生组织）如何影响学生对校园气候的看法，以促进基督教学院和大学的世界观多样性。此外，对调查数据的分析探讨了机构支持对性少数和异性恋学生的气候认知的影响是否不同。调查结果表明，LGB + 社区的校园支持结构在塑造学生对基督教机构世界观多样性氛围的看法方面发挥着作用。对于一个特别的支持结构——教育项目/系列——对 LGB + 个人气候感知的影响比对异性恋学生的影响更大。
