Intergroup Contact, Intergroup Anxiety, and Anti-Transgender Prejudice: An Examination Using Structural Equation Modeling.

This cross-sectional study applied the intergroup contact theory in the context of transgender prejudice and examined the relationships between quality and quantity of contact and explicit and implicit anti-transgender prejudice. Additionally, the study assessed the possible mediating role of intergroup anxiety in the relationship between intergroup contact and anti-transgender prejudice. Structural equation modeling was used to examine the proposed relationships, controlling for gender, religiosity, and political conservatism.

Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (TABS): Validation with a Sample of Self-Identified Christians.

Accurate measurement of attitudes is important in understanding currently held beliefs and to assess potential changes over time.

Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale-Spanish (TABS-S) Version: Translation and Initial Evaluation of Psychometric Properties.

Although the field of transprejudice studies has been growing, the literature suggests a need for quality assessments in languages other than English. To address this need, our study translated the Transgender Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (TABS) and evaluated its psychometric properties for use with Spanish-speaking populations. We recruited participants ( = 605) from American and Spanish samples.

Factors Associated with Transphobia: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach.

Our study examined factors associated with transphobia with a particular focus on the interrelations between religious fundamentalism and contact to impact transphobia. We used an online sample of U.S.
