Abstract
A Solomon four-group design was used to assess the effect of education on homo-negative attitudes. Half of the college students enrolled in either an introductory psychology (IP) course or in a human sexuality (HS) course completed the Heterosexual Attitudes Toward Homosexuals (HATH) test at both the beginning and end of the course. The other half completed the HATH only at the end of the respective courses. The data show that the HATH has good test-retest reliability and that it is not subject to reactive testing effects. Students in the HS course showed significant decreases in HATH scores at the end of the semester, while students in the IP course showed no significant change in homonegativism. These data provide support for homonegativism as a prejudicial attitude that can be changed through education.
