Abstract

Introduction

With societal homophobia decreasing globally, exploring implicit internalized homophobia has become relevant as it is a cognitive and psychological phenomenon. Hence, we explored the relationship between implicit internalized homophobia and psychological inflexibility.

Method

Male and female LGB participants (n = 112) were recruited via online groups. Computerized tests were used to measure the variables and the data was analyzed using appropriate tests.

Results

While both groups showed positive attitudes toward homosexuality, males had higher implicit internalized homophobia as compared to females. However, there was no significant relationship between implicit internalized homophobia and psychological inflexibility.

Conclusion

Our results indicate that certain factors protect and reduce the risk of internalization of bias in the Indian LGB community.

印度的内在隐性同性恋恐惧症：认知和社会人口统计学因素

摘要

介绍

随着全球社会恐同症的减少，探索内在的内部恐同症已成为重要的课题，因为这是一种认知和心理现象。因此，我们探讨了内隐的内在恐惧症与心理僵化之间的关系。

方法

 通过在线小组招募了男性和女性LGB参与者（n = 112）。使用计算机化测试来测量变量，并使用适当的测试对数据进行分析。

结果

尽管两组都对同性恋持积极态度，但男性比女性具有更高的内在内在恐惧感。但是，内隐的内部恐惧症与心理僵化之间没有显着的关系。

结论

我们的结果表明，某些因素可以保护并降低印度LGB社区内部偏见的风险。
