Resumo
Sabe-se que a homofobia, isto é, a atitude ou disposição negativa para com as pessoas
homossexuais, configura um problema social atual, com consequências nefastas no
quotidiano dos sujeitos com orientações sexuais consideradas minoritárias. O presente
estudo tem por objetivo determinar a influência dos fatores sexo, idade, locus de
controlo, autoritarismo, adesão ao duplo padrão tradicional e religiosidade nas atitudes
homofóbicas. Para estudar esta questão, os participantes preencheram um protocolo de
investigação, que avaliava as atitudes homofóbicas, perante gays e perante lésbicas, bem
como o autoritarismo, o locus de controlo, a religiosidade, a adesão ao duplo padrão
tradicional e os papéis de género, para além de questões de natureza demográfica. A
amostra foi composta por indivíduos, com idades compreendidas entre os 18 e os 66
anos. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a existência de associações estatisticamente
significativas entre níveis mais elevados de autoritarismo, adesão ao duplo padrão
tradicional, religiosidade, externalidade do locus de controlo e a frequência de atitudes
negativas, perante gays e lésbicas. Os dados obtidos salientam, ainda, uma frequência
superior de tais atitudes nos sujeitos do sexo masculino e nos mais velhos.
Homophobia is the attitude or negative disposition towards gay people and it sets a current social problem, with disastrous consequences for the daily lives of individuals with minority sexual orientations. This study aims to determine the influence of factors like sex, age, locus of control, authoritarianism, adherence to traditional standard double and religiosity in homophobic attitudes. To study this question, participants completed a research protocol, which assessed the homophobic attitudes towards gays and lesbians and authoritarianism, locus of control, religiosity, and adherence to traditional double standard and gender roles, besides some demographic questions. The sample study was composed by individuals, aged between 18 and 66 years old. The results showed the existence of statistically significant associations between higher levels of authoritarianism, adherence to the traditional double standard, religiosity, external locus of control and frequency of negative attitudes towards gays and lesbians. The obtained data also underline a higher frequency of such attitudes in male subjects and older people.
