本研究旨在了解教师对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别及质疑（LGBTQ）青少年受欺凌的看法。在宾夕法尼亚州西南部一个县的200名教育工作者（61.0%为女性，96.5%为白人）的样本中，教师对学校工作人员对不考虑性取向的学生的支持的看法与教师对LGBTQ学生遭受欺凌的频率的报告之间存在显著的正相关。教师认为员工和学生的支持水平较高，与学生使用贬损性语言的频率较高以及对LGBTQ学生的各种欺凌行为有关。研究发现，与异性恋教师相比，女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋取向的教师认为，无论学生的性取向、性别认同或性别表达如何，他们对学校员工和学生的支持程度都明显低于异性恋教师。最后，与了解学校反欺凌政策的教师相比，不知道或认为学校缺乏反欺凌政策的教师报告的LGBTQ学生遭受身体欺凌的比例要高得多。
This study was designed to ascertain teachers’ perceptions of bullying of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Questioning (LGBTQ) youth. In a sample of 200 educators (61.0% female; 96.5% White) from a county in southwestern Pennsylvania, there was a significant positive relationship between the teachers’ perceptions of the supportiveness of school staff towards students regardless of sexual orientation and those teachers’ reports of the frequency of bullying victimization experienced by LGBTQ students. Teachers’ perceptions of a higher level of staff and student support was associated with higher reported frequencies of students’ use of derogatory language about LGBTQ individuals and various types of bullying of LGBTQ students. Teachers with a lesbian, gay, or bisexual orientation were found to rate the school staff and students as significantly less supportive of students regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression in comparison to heterosexual teachers. Finally, teachers who either were unaware of or believed that their school lacked an anti-bullying policy reported significantly higher rates of physical bullying victimization of LGBTQ students when compared to the rates observed by teachers who reported knowledge of their schools’ anti-bullying policies.
