Attitudes toward Homosexuality across generations: The role of sexual orientation in a collectivistic context

Author(s) Ms. Apsara D
Country India
Abstract This study examined the differences in attitudes toward homosexuality among Generations X (1965–1980), Y (1981–1996), and Z (1997–2012) and explored the relationship between these attitudes and self-reported sexual orientation. A cross-sectional design was employed with a sample of 120 participants (55 male, 65 female) recruited via convenience sampling. Participants completed the Homosexuality Attitude Scale (Kite & Deaux, 1986) and the Sexual Orientation Scale (Sagayaraj & Gopal, 2020). A one-way ANOVA revealed a statistically significant difference in attitudes across generations (F = 8.493, p < .001), with younger generations (Y and Z) reporting more positive attitudes than Generation X. Furthermore, the majority of participants identified as heterosexual (62.5%), with smaller proportions identifying as bisexual (17.5%), asexual (14.16%), or homosexual (5.83%). Results indicate that generational cohort is a significant factor shaping attitudes toward homosexuality, reflecting broader socio-cultural shifts. The findings underscore the need for tailored educational and social interventions to foster acceptance and reduce stigma, particularly among older generations in collectivistic settings.
