| Summary | This study examines how news representations and individuals` inherent and cultural differences affect their attitudes toward people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). A 4 (news framing of the transmission route) X 2 (gender) X 2 (place of residence) experimental design was used with 968 young adults from Taiwan and Hong Kong. Four dependent variables were examined under two general dimensions: individual views on PLWHA`s rights, and attitudes toward PLWHA. The results show that the participants tended to express positive attitudes toward all dependent variables except PLWHA`s rights to marriage and birth-giving. Significant main effects of all three independent variables were observed on the combined dependent variables. Subsequent univariate analyses were conducted to shed more light on the supportive attitudes of individuals toward PLWHA`s rights. In addition, participants` attitudes toward homosexuality better predicted their support for PLWHA than their fear of infection. The implications of these findings were discussed. |
