Abstract
HATIBOVIC, FUAD; BOBOWIK, MAGDALENA; FAUNDEZ, XIMENA and SANDOVAL, JUAN. Xenophobia and Homophobia as Effects of Politics, Religion and Sex Orientation Measured by Classism and Patriocentrism in Chilean University Students. Rev. colomb. psicol. [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1, pp.131-148. ISSN 0121-5469. https://doi.org/10.15446/rcp.v26n1.55687.
This research examines in Chilean university students the relationship between xenophobia and homophobia with socio-demographic variables (sex, religion and political orientation), and the mediating role of classism and patrio-centrism in the relationship of socio-demographic variables with xenophobia and homophobia. We applied quantitative methodology with correlational design. The study involved 509 students, with mean age of 20.81 years (SD= 2.25). The participants answered a questionnaire based on the Survey of Tolerance and Non-Discrimination. The analysis of variance showed that there are significant differences by sex, religion and political orientation. Women showed lower levels of homophobia compared to women, and non-believers and left-wing participants scored lower in all dimensiones analyzed compared to believers and right-wing participants. Furthermore, multiple mediation analyses showed that patrio-centrism and classism explain differences in homophobia and xenophobia.
