Model 2 considers all variables introduced in this study (Full Model). Controlling for the effects of gender, race, education, religious fundamentalism, political ideology, and the years the data were collected, we still observe a significant contribution of gender role ideologies on attitudes toward homosexuals. As stated, all models that include the gender role scale as a predictor, find that the gender role scale contributes the most predictive ability (demonstrated by its Standardized Estimate). In analysis of other control factors, we find all expected relationships confirmed with the exception of predicted racial differences. In Model 2, we find that race is not a significant predictor of attitudes toward homosexuals while controlling for other factors. Otherwise, net of the effects of other variables, we find that men, older individuals, those with lower levels of education, those expressing fundamentalist religious ideologies, those with traditional gender role ideologies and those expressing conservative political ideologies are all predicted to display more homonegative attitudes than their counterparts. Using a subsequent F-test, model 2 provides overall explanatory power of the homonegativity scale (F =209 p < 0.05)7. In analysis of this power, we find that approximately 3500 of the variability in the homonegativity scale can be better explained by the gender role scale, race, gender, education, political ideology, age and religious fundamentalism compared to using the mean of the homonegativity scale alone (R2 =0.3 53). Intervening and Suppressor Effects

      The data at hand present both intervening and suppressor effects related to expected relationships among race and gender and their effects on homonegativity. As remarked in


Significant F-statistics were obtained from all models discussed.
