Abstract
This brief report aimed to geographically describe binegativity and social distance among Hispanic Puerto Ricans, and to explore social determinants related to binegativity and social distance toward bisexual women and men. The team employed secondary research data based on a quantitative, cross-sectional study. Data from a sociodemographic questionnaire, a binegativity scale, and a social distance scale were extracted. Demographic data of a sample of 177 participants were poststratified and divided into binary categories for analysis. Results showed that half of the sample (54.2%) reported high or very high binegativity. Similarly, half of the sample (50.8%) also reported moderate or high social distance toward bisexual individuals. The study also found that participants under 30 years of age and without a religion significantly reported less binegativity. In addition, participants who identify as men, as lesbian/gay, and know a bisexual person significantly reported less social distance. The need for more research is discussed.
