Abstract

Previous research suggests that bias exists against asexuals (MacInnis & Hodson, 2012). To better understand routes to reducing this bias, in two studies, we explore 1) differences in this bias based on gender identity, and 2) the personality and mental health assumptions people make regarding same- and other-gendered, asexual persons.
