homonegative affect than males in the same category. However women who display more traditional gender role ideologies are actually predicted to display higher levels of homonegativity than males in the same category (controlling for other variables) (Figure 4-5).

Figure 4-4 Interactive effects of education and gender on homonegativity

     The final interactive effect to be discussed accounted for the interaction of race and the gender role scale, and its impact on Homonegativity (Model 16). In this analysis we find that African Americans holding egalitarian attitudes about gender roles are expected to be more homonegative than Caucasians with similar gender role attitudes. However the impact of having more traditional gender roles has a greater substantial impact for Caucasians, to where predicted values in homonegativity actually surpass those of African Americans ( Figure 4-6). Findings indicate that increases in the gender role scale do correspond to increases in homonegativity for both Caucasians and African Americans, however the impacts of having more traditional gender role ideologies is much greater for Caucasians than for African Americans (at least in explaining negative attitudes toward lesbians and gays).
