Abstract Heterosexual women’s public same-sex performativity (SSP) is thought to have significant negative impacts for queer women (e.g., Hamilton, 2007). SSP may (mis)inform observers’ assumptions about women’s same-sex sexuality more generally. In Studies 1a and 1b (N = 541), we examined how heterosexual people perceive the sexual orientation and motivations of women engaging in SSP. We expanded on conceptualizations of SSP as harmful to queer identities by experimentally examining how exposure to SSP influences heterosexual participants’ bisexual prejudice. In Study 2 (N = 222), we examined bisexual women’s perspectives on SSP and bisexual prejudice. Women who engage in SSP were often perceived as bisexual and as motivated by sexual experimentation and desire to shock onlookers. In Studies 1b and 2, we found that exposure to SSP increased endorsement of bisexual stereotypes and impacted bisexual women’s felt identity legitimacy. These findings raise concerns about the potential of SSP to inform and reinforce bisexual prejudice.

检查对女性同性行为的反应：对性取向的看法和对双性恋偏见的影响

摘要 异性恋女性的公开同性表演（SSP）被认为对酷儿女性具有显着的负面影响（例如，Hamilton，2007）。SSP 可能（错误）告知观察者对女性同性性行为的更普遍的假设。在研究 1a 和 1b（N = 541）中，我们研究了异性恋者如何看待参与 SSP 的女性的性取向和动机。我们通过实验性检查暴露于 SSP 如何影响异性恋参与者的双性恋偏见，扩展了 SSP 对酷儿身份有害的概念。在研究 2 (N = 222) 中，我们检查了双性恋女性对 SSP 和双性恋偏见的看法。参与 SSP 的女性通常被认为是双性恋，并且被性实验和震惊旁观者的欲望所驱使。在研究 1b 和 2 中，我们发现接触 SSP 增加了对双性恋刻板印象的认可，并影响了双性恋女性的身份合法性。这些发现引起了人们对 SSP 告知和强化双性恋偏见的潜力的担忧。
