| Abstract: | Despite its positive health outcomes, consensual non-monogamy (CNM) is highly stigmatised by Western society. Especially people who represent traditional family values are detached from CNM, whereas LGBTQ+ community members are more likely to engage in it. In order to understand these differences in the perception of CNM, this study aims to investigate the relationship between traditional family values and the willingness to engage in CNM and the influence of LGBTQ+ community members on this relationship. In this context, CNM is defined as an agreement between one or both romantic partners to pursue an emotional or sexual relationship with one or more individuals. Heterosexual individuals and LGBTQ+ members were provided with the traditional family values scale and the consensual non-monogamy scale. Analyses revealed that traditional family values cannot account for the willingness to engage in CNM and that LGBTQ+ community members and heterosexual individuals do not differ in this regard. Consequently, future research should focus on other potent directions such as personal values to understand the different attitudes toward CNM while treating heterosexual and LGBTQ+ individuals as an entity. |
