“…Este prejuicio podría estar ligado con la rigidez de los roles de género, el sentido de la masculinidad y, sobre todo, de la antifeminidad (Parrott, 2009;Parrott y Zeichner, 2008). Algunos hombres heterosexuales perciben a los gays como una amenaza a su masculinidad (Carnaghi, Maass y Fasoli, 2011;Glick, Gangl, Gibb, Klumpner y Weinberg, 2007), ya que asocian la homosexualidad con lo femenino y eso hace que la masculinidad, que consideran inherente en los hombres, pierda fuerza y se vea como difusa (Carnaghi y cols., 2011). Esto a menos que las prácticas homosexuales se sitúen dentro de algún juego (Esterline y Galupo, 2013).…”

rafael BalleSter-arNal rballest@uji.es resumen introducción: Tradicionalmente, la sexualidad se ha construido desde una perspectiva rígida que ha dificultado su expresión y vivencia en nuestra sociedad. La orientación sexual ha sido una de las dimensiones más afectadas por una dicotomización forzada. Sin embargo, la experiencia real de las personas parece ser mucho más compleja. método: Los participantes cumplimentaron un Cuestionario ad hoc sobre Orientación Sexual desarrollado por Salusex-Unisexsida. De la muestra total, se seleccionaron aquellos jóvenes que se autoidentificaron como heterosexuales (N=514). La edad promedio fue de 21 años (DT=2,24), siendo el 25,3% hombres y el 74,7% mujeres. resultados: El 28,4% de mujeres y el 18,5% de hombres autoidentificados como heterosexuales siente algún tipo de atracción sexual hacia personas de su mismo sexo (p=0,016). También se observa mayor disposición de las mujeres heterosexuales a tener conductas homosexuales como besos (Hombre=43,1%, Mujer=84,1%; p=0,000), caricias (Hombre=14,6%, Mujer=39,6%; p=0,000) o recibir sexo oral (Hombre=16,9%, Mujer=25,8%; p=0,008). No obstante, no existen diferencias de género en cuanto a la realización de prácticas homosexuales, es decir, el 4,6% de hombres y el 3,6% de mujeres heterosexuales las han practicado (p=0,394). Conclusiones: Se observa cómo la sexualidad es más compleja de lo que se estimaba tradicionalmente. Los jó-venes heterosexuales, manifiestan conductas homosexuales en el plano de la atracción, la intención de conducta y la realización de la misma. En línea con otros estudios, las mujeres muestran mayor prevalencia en atracción e intención de conducta homosexual, mientras que no hay diferencias en las conductas entre hombres y mujeres.palabras clave: orientación homosexual, conducta homosexual, atracción homosexual, diferencias de género, jóvenes heterosexuales. 60 àGora de Salut. Vol. V. iSSN: 2443-9827. doi: httP://dx.doi.orG/10.6035/aGoraSalut.2018.5.6 -PP. 59-68 Abstract introduction: Traditionally, sexuality has been built from a rigid perspective which has complicated its expression and experience in our society. Sexual orientation has been one of the most affected dimensions by a forced dichotomisation. Nevertheless, the real experience seems to be much more complex. method: The participants completed an ad hoc Sexual Orientation Questionnaire, which was developed by Salusex-Unisexsida. From the overall sample we selected those young people who identified themselves as heterosexuals (N=514). The mean age was 21,0 (DT=2,24): 25,3% participants were male and 74,7% female. results: 28,4% of women and 18,5% of men self-identified as heterosexual feel a kind of attraction towards the same sex people (p=0,016). Heterosexual women are more likely to show a homosexual behaviour such as giving kisses (Male=43,1%, Female=84,1%; p=0,000), caresses (Male=14,6%, Female=39,6%; p=0,000) or receiving oral sex (Male=16,9%, Female=25,8%; p=0,008). However, no differences by gender were found with regard to the realization of h...

“…This perspective is corroborated by men's concerns about being perceived as gender deviant (McCreary 1994) and evidence that gender transgressions are less tolerated in men than women; for example, boys are significantly more likely than girls to be referred to psychologists for Gender Identity Disorder (Zucker et al 1997). Motivated by fears of being called "pussies" (Berdahl et al 1996) or being labelled homosexual (McCreary 1994), men have been found to reject feminine traits in themselves (Glick et al 2007; see also Vohs et al 2005, Study 2) and others (Schmitt and Branscombe 2001) in order to sustain their social standings (McCreary 1994). In one study, men given false gender deviancy feedback (i.e.…”

“You’re Such a Girl!” The Psychological Drain of the Gender-Role Harassment of Men

Men experience gender-role harassment when they are ridiculed or ostracized for being "not man enough" (Berdahl 2007). Although men's emotional (e.g. shame and anxiety) and behavioural reactions (e.g. aggression) to gender-threatening feedback have been documented (Vandello et al. 2008), potential cognitive and selfregulatory consequences of this form of harassment have yet to be investigated. In the present experiment, 84 Introductory Psychology men at a Canadian university (Winnipeg, Manitoba) either experienced or did not experience gender-role harassment (i.e. told they squeezed a handgrip 'like a girl') before completing a set of tests (an anagram test, a stroop color-naming task, and a subsequent handgrip task). To ensure our experimental manipulation invoked a threat to participant's sense of manliness, we also included an open-ended measure of self-identification. In accordance with Social Identity research (Ellemers, Spears, & Doosje, 2002), we anticipated that harassed men would affirm male self-aspects significantly more so than nonharassed men. Overall, results demonstrated that, as predicted, gender-role harassment significantly threatened participant's sense of manhood, compromised cognitive ability, and weakened attentional self-control compared to the no harassment control condition. However, contrary to predictions, harassment did not weaken self-regulatory physical strength: men in the harassment condition exhibited increased handgrip strength compared to men in the no harassment condition, suggesting potential compensatory reactions occurred, as well. Implications of gender-role harassment for men's psychological well-being, intellect, and impulse control are discussed and areas for future research are outlined.

“…Other studies have shown consistent results, which are sometimes interpreted in terms of a conflict between norms of masculinity and men's own dispositions or behavior (Glick, Gangl, Gibb, Klumpner, & Weinberg, 2007;McDermott, Schwartz, Lindley, & Proietti, 2013).…”

Perception of Gay Men as Defectors and Commitment to Group Defense Predict Aggressive Homophobia

Homophobia encompasses a variety of attitudes and behaviors with distinct causal paths. We focus on aggressive homophobia, a propensity to feel anger and express aggression toward gay men. We investigated the conjecture that homosexual males might be seen, in recent Western cultures, as defectors from collective group defense. We predicted that consistent with a functional motive to punish and deter free riding, the perception of gay men as defectors would motivate aggression toward gay men. We also predicted that individuals with greater commitment to group defense might show more aggressive homophobia (as these individuals have more to lose from the defection than individuals who are not committed to group defense). Study 1 showed that aggressive homophobia correlated positively with the tendency to implicitly associate gay men with defection from group defense. Study 2 showed that a tendency to punish homosexual males for a theft correlated positively with commitment to group defense. The findings suggest that coalitional psychology might contribute to explaining the existence and quality of certain kinds of social stigma.
