研究探讨了中国大学生对由不同途径感染的艾滋病患者的区别性反应,涉及的因变量包括对艾滋病患者的总体感受、情绪反应、责任感知、接触意愿等。结果显示:1)和主观不可控途径(输血和母婴)相比,大学生对由可控途径(性和吸毒)感染的艾滋病患者感到更多的生气、讨厌和恐惧,更少地感到同情,表现出更强的负性态度,更少的接触意愿;同时还认为由性和吸毒感染的艾滋病患者应该承担更多的责任,更应该接受强制处理;2)女性大学生比男性表现出对艾滋病患者更低的接触意愿,但是在其它反应上,均没发现性别差异;3)中介分析显示,对由不同途径感染的艾滋病患者的不同的态度反应在一定程度上是由不同的情绪反应导致的,负性情绪会导致负性态度,同情会导致正性态度。这些结果提示,要减少对艾滋病患者的偏见和歧视等负性反应,营造一个有利于艾滋病防治的社会环境,对由不同途径感染的艾滋病患者应该有针对性地采取不同的策略,要尽可能减少负性情绪、唤起同情心。
研究探討瞭中國大學生對由不同途徑感染的艾滋病患者的區彆性反應,涉及的因變量包括對艾滋病患者的總體感受、情緒反應、責任感知、接觸意願等。結果顯示:1)和主觀不可控途徑(輸血和母嬰)相比,大學生對由可控途徑(性和吸毒)感染的艾滋病患者感到更多的生氣、討厭和恐懼,更少地感到同情,錶現齣更彊的負性態度,更少的接觸意願;同時還認為由性和吸毒感染的艾滋病患者應該承擔更多的責任,更應該接受彊製處理;2)女性大學生比男性錶現齣對艾滋病患者更低的接觸意願,但是在其它反應上,均沒髮現性彆差異;3)中介分析顯示,對由不同途徑感染的艾滋病患者的不同的態度反應在一定程度上是由不同的情緒反應導緻的,負性情緒會導緻負性態度,同情會導緻正性態度。這些結果提示,要減少對艾滋病患者的偏見和歧視等負性反應,營造一箇有利于艾滋病防治的社會環境,對由不同途徑感染的艾滋病患者應該有針對性地採取不同的策略,要儘可能減少負性情緒、喚起同情心。

Since its first disclosure in China in 1985, AIDS has been spreading rapidly. Chinese government has done a lot in AIDS prevention and control. Currently, prejudice and discrimination toward PWA is the greatest barrier for AIDS prevention and treatment in China. Undoubtedly, knowing more about people's reactions and attitudes toward PWA would contribute to AIDS prevention and control. The present study for the first time examined people's differential reactions toward PWA who contracted AIDS via different routes, including controllable ones (i.e. sex and drug uses) and uncontrollable ones (i.e., blood transfusion and mother - fetus). We also examined the mediating role of affective reactions in producing negative attitudes toward PWA.
The sample was composed of 188 college students (males: 73; Females: 115). Each of the participants was paid 10 Chinese Yuan for their participation. Four scenarios about a young man who has been recently diagnosed as an AIDS patient were designed and used to elicit participants' reactions toward PWA. All scenarios were identical except for the routes of AIDS contraction. Specifically, the routes included inappropriate sex behaviors, drug uses, transfusion, and mother - fetus. Participants completed the experiment on computer in separate rooms.After providing their demographical information, they were randomly assigned to one of the four scenarios. After reading the scenarios, they finished a series of scales about the PWA described in the scenarios. The scales measure affective feelings (e. g., angry, disgust, fear, and sympathy) and attitudes toward the described PWA (e. g., thermometer feeling scale, perceived responsibility, support of coercive policies, and intent to contact).
Results showed that (1) on one hand, all subjects showed pronounced negative affective feelings toward PWA regardless of the contracting routes, suggesting apparent instrumental fear of AIDS; on the other hand, strong sympathy was also found among college students; (2) by comparing with those who has contracted AIDS by controllable routes such as inappropriate sexual behaviors and drug uses, college students expressed less angry, less disgust, and less fear toward PWA contracted via transfusion and mother - fetus; they were also less likely to support coercive policies upon them, to have contacts with them, and to attribute the responsibility of contracting AIDS to them; (3) no gender differences were found except that females showed less willingness to contact with PWA; and (4) mediation analyses revealed that affective feelings toward PWA partially mediated the effects of transmission routes on attitudes toward PWA, angry, disgust, and fear increasing negative attitude whereas sympathy increasing positive one.
In summary, the present study demonstrated that (1) both instrumental and symbolic concerns contribute to negative attitude; (2) different transmission routes would lead to different reactions; (3) affective reactions partially mediated the differential reactions toward PWA. The findings suggest possible effective ways to control and prevent the AIDS epidemic in China, which are to eliminate inappropriate sexual behaviors and drug uses and to reduce fear of AIDS by disseminating AIDS related knowledge and arousing people' s sympathy for PWA.
