2020年越南關於同性戀觀念及相關因素的次級資料分析

Justifiability of homosexuality remains a socially sensitive topic in many societies, yet few studies have systematically examined its predictors using nationally representative data in Vietnam (Pirlott & Cook, 2021) (Bao, 2023). This study investigates the factors associated with the perception that homosexuality is justifiable among Vietnamese adults, using data from the World Values Survey Wave 7 (2020). It also compares the characteristics of individuals who find homosexuality justifiable versus those who view it as unjustifiable.The study analyzes cross-sectional data collected through structured interviews with a nationally representative sample of Vietnamese adults aged 18 and older. Logistic regression analysis was conducted using SUDAAN to identify sociodemographic, religious, and attitudinal predictors of homosexuality justification.Findings reveal that age, education level, religiosity, marital status, and interpersonal contact with LGBTQ+ individuals significantly affect respondents’ attitudes. Adults aged 41–50 were significantly less likely to justify homosexuality compared to those under 30. Respondents who reported low importance of religion, accepted homosexuals as neighbors, or believed that homosexual couples can be good parents were significantly more likely to find homosexuality justifiable. Conversely, higher religiosity and adherence to traditional family norms were associated with unjustifiability.This study contributes to the understanding of national patterns in the perception of homosexuality in Vietnam, highlighting how social exposure, cultural norms, and individual belief systems shape public attitudes. The findings provide a foundation for policymakers and educators to develop targeted interventions aimed at promoting social inclusion and reducing stigma toward sexual minorities. Additionally, the results emphasize the importance of intergenerational and religious dialogue in shifting public opinion toward greater acceptance.
