西欧对男女同性恋者的态度通常比东欧更宽容。本研究使用前五轮欧洲社会调查的数据来研究从东欧到西欧的移民中对男同性恋者和女同性恋者的态度。在控制了与对同性恋的态度相关的背景因素后，我们发现了文化适应的证据，即态度变得更加宽容，更典型的是在西欧流行的，在这个地区居住时间更长。这项研究建立在现有的研究跨国对同性恋的态度差异，并扩展了现有的北美文学文化适应欧洲的背景下。
Attitudes toward gay men and lesbians are generally more tolerant in Western than in Eastern Europe. This study uses data from the first five rounds of the European Social Survey to examine acculturation among migrants moving from Eastern Europe to Western Europe, in terms of attitudes toward gay men and lesbians. After controlling for background factors associated with attitudes toward homosexuality, we find evidence of acculturation, whereby attitudes become more tolerant-and more typical of those prevalent in Western Europe-with longer residency in this region. This study builds on existing research into cross-national differences in attitudes toward homosexuality and extends the existing North American literature on acculturation to a European context.
