同志家庭課程對大學生對同志家庭撫養小孩的態度之影響

Impacts of the Same-Sex Family Curriculum on Undergraduates’ Attitude toward Same-Sex Family Raising Children

本研究旨在探討大學生修讀同志家庭課程後，對同志家庭撫養小孩的態度 之改變情形。研究對象為98 名選修「性別教育」課程的大學生。研究工具分別 是「對男同志家庭撫養小孩態度量表」與「對女同志家庭撫養小孩態度量表」， 每一量表各包含二個層面，一是「違反個人信念」（individual opposition），係 指個人擔心同志家庭的教養功能不如異性戀家庭，對孩童有不利影響，二是「違 反社會規範」（normative opposition），係指個人認為同志家庭的孩子會遭同儕 拒絕、排斥或孤立而產生適應困難。研究發現，在課程結束後，全體學生對同 性家庭的偏見顯著減少；在違反個人信念的層面有顯著的性別差異；學生性別 和同志家庭性傾向則無顯著交互作用；違反社會規範分數則顯著高於違反個人 信念分數。

The purpose of this study was to assess undergraduate students’ attitude change towards the same-sex family raising children before and after taking a same-sex family curriculum. The sample included 98 university students. The course consisted of role-playing activities， panels of lesbian and gay people， audiovisual materials about the same-sex partnership/marriage， readings about the human right for gays and lesbians， and taking part in Taipei gay pride parade. The Attitude toward Children’s Adjustment in Gay Family scale (ACAGF) and the Attitude toward Children’s Adjustment in Lesbian Family scale (ACALF) were applied to assess the participants’ attitude toward negative impact on children who are raised by same-sex parents. The results indicated that students’ bias towards children’s adjustment in the same-sex family were reduced significantly after the training. There was a significant difference between male and female students’ scores in the dimension of individual opposition. There was no significant interaction between participants’ gender and the gender of the target families. The score of the dimension of normative opposition was significantly higher than that of individual opposition.
