“…First, this finding could align with prior reports from some adolescents that they use homophobic epithets as part of banter among friends (Korobov, 2004;Pascoe, 2007;Phoenix et al, 2003), or other findings that some adolescents and adults express prejudice attitudes through humor (Guerin, 2003;Hodson, Rush, & MacInnis, 2010). Indeed, many of these studies have highlighted the occurrence of homophobic banter particularly among boys, which could also relate to our finding that boys reported more homophobic behavior than girls, as in other prior studies (Mata et al, 2010;Poteat et al, 2012).…”

Drawing from an ecological framework, there has been growing attention to the role of peers in accounting for adolescents' homophobic behavior. In this study, we considered whether individuals' homophobic behavior could be attributed to their peers' collective levels of aggression, sexual prejudice, and importance placed on their sexual orientation identity among 437 high school students (89% white; 61% female; Mage = 15.72 years) in 62 peer groups identified through social network analysis. Using multilevel modeling, we found that individuals in more homophobic and aggressive peer groups engaged in even more homophobic behavior than accounted for based solely on their own individual prejudice attitudes and aggressive behavior. Furthermore, individuals' sexual prejudice was a stronger predictor of their engagement in homophobic behavior for those in groups whose peers collectively placed greater importance on sexual orientation identity and were more aggressive. These findings begin to provide a fuller sense of how individual and peer attributes combine and interact in ways that account for individuals' engagement in homophobic behavior.

“…Communication, including prejudiced and discriminatory talk, can be used as a means of influence to regulate relationships (Guerin, 2003;Ng, 2007). For example, prejudiced and discriminatory talk can be used as a mechanism to get people to do things, to get people to believe or say things, to keep them entertained, to have them like us, and to influence relationships within groups (Guerin, 2003).…”

Language is also used to "justify, encode, enact, and routinize" discrimination, including ageism (Ng, 2007).…”

A Theory of Relational Ageism: A Discourse Analysis of the 2015 White House Conference on Aging

Purpose: The widespread use of ageist language is generally accepted as commonplace and routine in most cultures and settings. In order to disrupt ageism, we must examine the use of ageist language and sentiments among those on the front line of providing advocacy, services, and policy for older adults; the professional culture of the aging services network. The recorded video segments from the sixth White House Conference on Aging (WHCOA) provided a unique opportunity to examine discourse used by professionals and appointed representatives in the field of aging within a professional sociocultural context. Design and Methods: A qualitative discourse analysis of video recordings was used to analyze the 15 video fragments that comprised the recorded sessions of the 2015 WHCOA. Results: About 26 instances were identified that captured statements expressing personal age, aging or an age-related characteristic negatively in regard to self or other (microageism), and/or statements expressing global negative opinions or beliefs about aging and older adults based on group membership (macroageism). A theoretical pathway was established that represents the dynamic process by which ageist statements were expressed and reinforced (relational ageism). Implications: Numerous instances of ageism were readily identified as part of a live streamed and publically accessible professional conference attended and presented by representatives of the aging services network. To make meaningful gains in the movement to disrupt ageism and promote optimal aging for all individuals, we must raise awareness of the relational nature, expression, and perpetuation of ageism.

“…Além disso, Guerin (2003; propôs intervenções comportamentais baseadas em observação participante e análise do discurso das pessoas que vivem na comunidade. Essa proposta de Guerin (2003; assemelha-se à proposta de pesquisa--ação de Silva Lane (1984).…”

“…No presente ensaio apesar de discutidas possí-veis aproximações metodológicas entre a pesquisa--ação tal como descrita por Lane (1984) e o trabalho de Guerin (2003Guerin ( , 2005, a maior parte das pesquisas de análise do comportamento que estudam fenô-menos sociais não se assemelham como o método proposto por Lane (1984). Assim, um avanço das discussões sobre a possibilidade de interface pode contribuir tanto para o desenvolvimento de novas propostas metodológicas para a Psicologia Social quanto para analistas do comportamento que estudam fenômenos sociais.…”

Esse ensaio discute possibilidades de diálogo entre a Psicologia Social de Silvia Lane e a Análise do Comportamento. O diálogo terá três eixos centrais: a delimitação de um objeto de estudo, a noção de transformação social e o método de estudo. A partir desses eixos serão abordados pressupostos da Psicologia Social de Lane, bem como a influência do pensamento skinneriano sobre o pensamento de Lane, além disso, serão apontadas e debatidas algumas críticas da autora sobre a Análise do Comportamento de Skinner. Duas propostas de transformação social encontradas na Análise do Comportamento foram discutidas ao lado das propostas de Lane. O método de estudo também é discutido e a pesquisa-ação proposta por Lane é apresentada ao lado de métodos que a Análise do Comportamento tem utilizado para estudar fenenômenos sociais.
