Abstract

This research tests whether self-labelling with a derogatory or reclaimed label is perceived as an act of reclamation. A pilot study ( N = 102) identified English terms used to label lesbian women and gay men. The main study ( N = 276) used a between-groups vignette design in which participants read about a woman/man self-labelling with a descriptive (lesbian/gay), reclaimed (queer), or derogatory group (dyke/fag) label. We assessed perceptions of the speaker (control/influence, agency, and efficacy) and group power, label offensiveness, and the likelihood of using the label in the future. Descriptive labels were perceived as less offensive and more likely to be used compared to reclaimed and derogatory labels. For gay men, using a derogatory label compared to other labels decreased perceived agency, but did not influence control/influence and efficacy. For lesbian women, there were no differences in perceptions of power depending on the label used.

女同性恋和男同性恋使用和感知重新定义的群体标签
本研究测试了使用贬损或回收标签进行自我贴标是否被视为一种回收行为。试点研究(102 人)确定了用于标记女同性恋和男同性恋的英语术语。主要研究(N = 276)采用了组间小故事设计,让参与者阅读一位女性/男性自我贴上描述性(女同性恋/男同性恋)、回收性(同性恋)或贬损性群体(女同性恋/男同性恋)标签的故事。我们评估了对说话者(控制/影响、代理和效能)和群体权力的看法、标签的冒犯性以及将来使用标签的可能性。与回收标签和贬义标签相比,描述性标签被认为攻击性较小,使用的可能性也更大。对于男同性恋者来说,与其他标签相比,使用贬损性标签会降低其感知的能动性,但不会影响控制/影响力和效能。对于女同性恋者来说,所使用的标签不同,她们对权力的感知也没有差异。
