CHAVEZ MARTINEZ, Mayra Aracely; ZAPATA SALAZAR, Joel; PETRZELOVA MAZACOVA, Jana e VILLANUEVA IBARRA, Gonzalo. Young people's sexual diversity and its representations. Psicogente [online]. 2018, vol.21, n.39, pp.62-74. ISSN 0124-0137. https://doi.org/10.17081/psico.21.39.2822.
Objective:
The aim of the present study was to investigate the perception of sexual diversity based on the representations that young people express through discourse.
Method:
We worked with a non-experimental, cross-sectional / transactional cross-sectional design. As instrument was used the technique of Modified Semantic Networks; Working the following indicators: network size, semantic weight, quantitative semantic difference and network core. The sample was composed of 250 young men and women, aged between 19 and 29 years. A non-probabilistic sampling was used, whose inclusion criteria were: availability and informed consent.
Results:
The results show that the subjects refer to increasingly rigid constructions around sexual diversity, revealing in some cases contradictory discourses around it; On the one hand, negative emotions such as fear and on the other, greater openness to equality and respect.
Conclusions:
It is necessary to con sider that, despite a tendency to change the responses of the participants of this study, this trend and its implications in past and future generations should be monitored.
