“…Vietnamese Americans with higher levels of acculturation had greater levels of positive attitudes toward homosexuality. Although previous research concerning acculturation and homophobia that specifically involves the Vietnamese American community is nonexistent, the finding is consistent with other studies examining acculturation (e.g., Lippincott et al, 2000;Meston et al, 1998). Further, the finding that specific acculturative variables (e.g., number of years the participant had lived in the U.S.) related to their attitudes toward homosexuality is consistent with Hypothesis 1.…”

“…It also appears that Westerners have less negative attitudes toward homosexuals than do Asians. A study by Lippincott, Wlazelek, and Schumacher (2000) found that Asian international students were more likely to have significantly higher levels of discomfort with homosexuals, as compared to U.S. students. Additionally, Meston, Trapnell, and Gorzalka (1998) found that Asians who were born or had a longer residency in a Western country like Canada were not as likely to have negative attitudes toward homosexuality.…”

We examined the impact of acculturation on attitudes toward gay men and lesbians in the Vietnamese American community. We recruited 114 Vietnamese American participants at a large community organization. The Suinn–Lew Asian Self‐Identity Acculturation Scale (Suinn, 1992) was used to measure participants' acculturation levels, while the Attitudes Toward Lesbian and Gay Men Scale (Herek, 2004) was used to measure participants' attitudes toward homosexuality. It was hypothesized that Vietnamese Americans with higher levels of acculturation would have more positive attitudes toward homosexuality. The results supported this hypothesis. Additionally, we found a complicated pattern of results explaining attitudes based on acculturation level, age, and gender.

Background The concept of physical literacy has received increased research and international attention recently. Where intervention programs and empirical research are gaining momentum, their operationalizations differ significantly. Objective The objective of this study was to inform practice in the measure/assessment of physical literacy via a systematic review of research that has assessed physical literacy (up to 14 June, 2017). Methods Five databases were searched using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses for Protocols guidelines, with 32 published articles meeting the inclusion criteria. English-language, peer-reviewed published papers containing empirical studies of physical literacy were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Results Qualitative methods included: (1) interviews; (2) open-ended questionnaires; (3) reflective diaries; (4) focus groups; (5) participant observations; and (6) visual methods. Quantitative methods included: (1) monitoring devices (e.g., accelerometers); (2) observations (e.g., of physical activity or motor proficiency); (3) psychometrics (e.g., enjoyment, self-perceptions); (4) performance measures (e.g., exergaming, objective times/distances); (5) anthropometric measurements; and (6) one compound measure. Of the measures that made an explicit distinction: 22 (61%) examined the physical domain, eight (22%) the affective domain; five (14%) the cognitive domain; and one (3%) combined three domains (physical, affective, and cognitive) of physical literacy. Researchers tended to declare their philosophical standpoint significantly more in qualitative research compared with quantitative research. Conclusions Current research adopts diverse often incompatible methodologies in measuring/assessing physical literacy. Our analysis revealed that by adopting simplistic and linear methods, physical literacy cannot be measured/assessed in a traditional/conventional sense. Therefore, we recommend that researchers are more creative in developing integrated philosophically aligned approaches to measuring/assessing physical literacy. Future research should consider the most recent developments in the field of physical literacy for policy formation. Key Points This article is the first to provide a systematic review of the measure/assessment attempts of the concept of physical literacy and its related constructs (i.e., physical activity and health outcomes) and is the first to suggest that by adopting simplistic and linear methods, physical literacy cannot be measured/ assessed in the traditional/conventional sense. Recommendations for future research include a need for more empirical research on the concept of physical literacy; essentially, there is a need for more research that is open about the definition and philosophical approach used and theories tested. Future research should measure/assess beyond the constructs of physical proficiencies, and aim to measure/assess physical literacy from a more holistic perspective.

“…That homophobic attitudes and behaviors are exhibited toward homosexuals all over the world has been put forward by many research studies (Furnham & Saito, 2009;Altemeyer, 2001;Lippincott, Wlazelek, & Schumacher, 2000;Weishut, 2000;Pratte, 1993). Although there are various scientific studies on homosexuality in Turkey, the number is limited.…”

The aim of this study is to determine Physical Education and Sport Department students' attitudes toward homosexual athletes. This study is the first study investigating the homophobia of physical education students who are expected to play a role in the development of sports and its basic education. The sample of the study is 102 students. The participant students were aged between 18-28 years old and the mean age was 21.67. To collect data, the Turkish version of the "Homophobia in Sports Scale" was used. With the aim of determining if there was a difference between the male and the female students' attitudes, chi-square goodness-of-fit-test and Mann-Whitney U test were employed. The differences were tested at the significance level of 0.05. Half of the female participants and 40% of the male participants stated that there would be no change in their thoughts about a "male" athlete revealing that he was a gay; moreover, 48.93% of the female participants and 43.63% of the male participants stated that there would be no change in their thoughts about a "female" athlete revealing that she was a lesbian. In relation to the question "If an athlete revealed his sexual preference, how would this confession change thoughts of fans of other sports branches?" 68.08% of the female participants and 69.09% of the male participants stated that their thoughts would change negatively. When all the participants were taken into account, it was observed that 5.88% of those who stated that thoughts of others would change positively. The indifference states of the participants were not different. Although the male and the female physical education student teachers held positive opinions of homosexual athletes within the scope of the Homophobia in Sports Scale, they had some negative opinions in some parameters. It will be useful to implement teacher training programs to develop attitudes and behaviors against discrimination in the society. Moreover, works to increase tolerance toward different lifestyles in the society will help to develop positive attitude toward homosexuality.
