这项研究以 220 名年轻男女为样本，调查了人们对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者的态度。正如预测的那样，多元回归分析显示，对通过偶然接触感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的恐惧是男性和女性是否愿意与艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者互动的重要预测因素。对同性恋的态度也是女性对艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者态度的重要预测因素，在西方社会，女性感染艾滋病毒的风险通常较低。这些结果表明，对患有严重疾病的人的态度可能与感知的感染疾病的风险密切相关。
This study examined attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS within a sample of 220 young men and women. As predicted, a multiple regression analysis revealed that the fear of contracting HIV/AIDS through casual contact was a significant predictor of both men's and women's willingness to interact with people living with HIV/AIDS. Attitudes toward homosexuality were also a significant predictor of attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS among women, who generally have a low risk of contracting the disease in Western societies. These results indicate that attitudes toward people with a serious illness may be strongly related to the perceived risk of contracting the disease.
