ABSTRACT

This study analyzed a large national survey, the 2016 version of American National Election Study (ANES), to identify the predictors of attitudes toward the equal rights of lesbians, gay men, and transgender individuals. Egalitarian attitudes are associated with being female, younger, more liberal, less Republican, having a higher income and a lower level of fundamentalist religiosity, as well as consuming a wider variety of news media. Liberals tend to consume a larger number of news sources than conservatives. Also, news media diet mediates, instead of moderates, the effects of political ideology on support for the LGT community. Overall, a healthy diet of news media is associated with support for equality rights.

摘要

本研究分析了一项大型全国性调查，即 2016 年版的美国全国选举研究 (ANES)，以确定对女同性恋者、男同性恋者和跨性别者平等权利态度的预测因素。平等主义态度与女性、更年轻、更自由、更少共和党、更高的收入和更低的原教旨主义宗教信仰以及消费更多种类的新闻媒体有关。自由派倾向于比保守派消耗更多的新闻来源。此外，新闻媒体饮食调节而非缓和政治意识形态对 LGT 社区支持的影响。总体而言，新闻媒体的健康饮食与对平等权利的支持有关。
