Abstract

Currently most of Indonesian still upholds heteronormative values, contributing to prejudice against homosexuals. Factors influencing this prejudice include cultural humility and right-wing authoritarianism. This study aims to analyze the roles of cultural humility and right-wing authoritarianism in predicting prejudice against homosexuals. Using a cross-sectional survey design, a sample (N = 408) was selected from heterosexual university students aged 18-25. Data were collected using scales and analyzed using multiple regression. The results indicate that cultural humility is negatively associated (β = -0.23; p < 0.001) while right-wing authoritarianism is positively associated (β = 0.74; p < 0.001) with prejudice against homosexuals. Right-wing authoritarianism, which frames homosexuals as a threat, plays a stronger role than cultural humility in predicting this prejudice. Additional analyses reveal that prejudice against homosexuals is related to religion, faculty type, university type, and acquaintance with homosexual individuals. These findings imply that reducing prejudice against homosexuals should focus more on decreasing right-wing authoritarianism, although fostering cultural humility remains important.
