“…Examples of the strategies related to increased contact are assigning readings and videos as a way to introduce students to the lives of LGB individuals (Green, 1996), role plays and case presentations (Godfrey et al., 2006; Long, 1996; Long & Serovich, 2003), and increased personal contact with LGB individuals (Godfrey et al., 2006; Green, 1996; Long, 1996; Long & Serovich, 2003). These strategies are consistent with research that indicates that increased contact with the lives of LGB individuals is related to lower levels of homophobia and more positive attitudes toward LGB persons (Green & Bobele, 1994).…”

This study examined couple and family therapy (CFT) students' beliefs about sexual orientation, their self-reported competency working with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) clients, and the level of affirmative training students received in their CFT programs. One hundred and ninety students from accredited CFT programs completed the study. While participants reported feeling only somewhat competent to work with LGB clients and less than half reported receiving any training on affirmative therapy, the majority of the participants did appear to hold positive attitudes toward LGB clients. The results support the literature arguing for CFT programs to include specific training on affirmative therapy practices, as the level of affirmative training was directly related to participants' self-reported clinical competency working with LGB clients.

“…It is inevitable that marriage and family therapists see gay or lesbian clients or their family members. In a survey of AAMFT members, 72% responded that 10% of their practices involved gays or lesbians (Green & Bobele, 1994). These two value-laden topics-sexuality and religion-can intersect for gay and lesbian clients in such a way that it would be difficult for therapists not to address spiritual or religious issues.…”

“…For example, their stimulus targets included atypical group members (e.g. heterosexual women with AIDS, rather than gay men with AIDS, see Green & Bobele, 1994;O'Hea, Systsma, Copeland, & Brantley, 2001) and stereotypic group members (e.g. a homeless man who is lazy, see Study 2).…”

This research was designed to examine whether perspective taking promotes improved intergroup attitudes regardless of the extent that stereotypic perceptions of outgroups are endorsed, as well as examining the mechanisms (attributional or empathy related) by which perspective taking motivates improved intergroup attitudes. Participants were presented with an interview segment where an African American interviewee discussed the difficulties experienced as a result of his membership in a negatively stereotyped group. Materials were presented in a 2 (perspective taking: other focused or objective focused) Â 2 (target stereotypicality: confirming or disconfirming) between participants design. Findings revealed that the manipulation of target stereotypicality influenced subsequent stereotype endorsement; those exposed to a stereotype confirming target later endorsed more stereotypic perceptions of African Americans than did those exposed to a stereotype disconfirming target. However, perspective taking promoted improved intergroup attitudes irrespective of stereotypicality; those encouraged to adopt the perspective of the target later reported more favourable intergroup attitudes than did those who remained detached and objective listeners. Whereas empathy partially mediated the relation between perspective taking and intergroup attitudes, situational attributions were a stronger and more reliable mediator.
