| description | The purpose of the current resarch was to compare adolescents’ stereotypes of homosexuality and heterosexuality from Beauvois’s theory of social value (1995 ; Dubois, 2005). We asked forty-three secondary school students to describe homosexuals and heterosexuals, from a list of personality traits, by giving their own judgments and by indicating how they thought that society perceived them. We expected them to think that the homosexuals were less desirable but at the same time just as socially useful as heterosexuals. We also expected the participants to feel that, in society, homosexuals were considered as less desirable and also less socially useful than heterosexuals. Those assumptions were only partially verified, especially among female participants. The results are discussed in terms of gender differences in the perception of homosexuality and in the consequences of these stereotypes. |
