          Abstract

          O presente estudo tem por objetivo entender o preconceito contra homossexuais no ambiente de trabalho a partir das crenças que os trabalhadores heterossexuais têm sobre a natureza da homossexualidade. Levantamos a hipótese de que essas crenças estão na base da expressão de atitudes e comportamentos homofóbicos no ambiente de trabalho. Tomaram parte neste estudo 169 trabalhadores heterossexuais, de cinco empresas portuguesas de grande porte, de ambos os sexos, com idade média de 32,8 anos (DP= 8,29), sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (68%). Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o preconceito contra homossexuais no ambiente de trabalho se expressa pela maior adesão a crenças ético-morais como explicação da natureza da homossexualidade. Os homens apresentam maior rejeição à proximidade e expressão de mais emoções negativas em relação aos homossexuais do que as mulheres. A discussão aborda a importância de crenças sobre a natureza dos grupos sociais para melhor se compreender os princípios organizadores do preconceito e da discriminação contra grupos minoritários no contexto de relações laborais.

          This study aims to understand the prejudice against homosexuals in the workplace analyzing the role played by individuals' beliefs about the nature of homosexuality. We hypothesize that beliefs about the nature of homosexuality underlie the expression of homophobic attitudes and discriminatory behavior in the workplace. Take part in this study 169 heterosexual workers from five Portuguese companies, of both genders (mostly part of them are female, 68%) with a mean age of 32.8 years (SD= 8.29). The results showed that greater individuals' support for ethical and moral beliefs about the nature of homosexuality predict prejudice against homosexuals in the workplace. Moreover, men expressed a higher rejection of proximity and expressed more negative emotions towards homosexuals than women participants express. The discussion addresses the importance of beliefs about the nature of social groups to better understand the organizing principles of prejudice and discrimination against minority groups in the context of labor relations.

          Este estudio tiene como objetivo comprender el prejuicio contra los homosexuales en el lugar de trabajo a partir de las creencias que los empleados heterosexuales tienen sobre la naturaleza de la homosexualidad. La hipótesis testada es que estas creencias son la base de la expresión de actitudes y comportamientos homófobos en el lugar de trabajo. Participaron en este estudio 169 trabajadores heterosexuales, empleados en cinco grandes empresas portuguesas, de ambos sexos, en su mayoría mujeres (68%), con una edad media de 32,8 años (SD= 8.29). Los resultados mostraron que los prejuicios contra los homosexuales en el lugar de trabajo están relacionados con una mayor adhesión a las creencias éticas y morales como una explicación de la naturaleza de la homosexualidad. Los hombres tienen un mayor rechazo de la cercanía y mayor expresión de emociones negativas hacia los homosexuales, comparado a las mujeres. La conclusión discute la importancia de las creencias acerca de la naturaleza de los grupos sociales para comprender mejor los principios de organización de los prejuicios y de la discriminación contra los grupos minoritarios en el contexto de relaciones laborales.

              Essentialist beliefs about homosexuality: structure and implications for prejudice.

              The structure of beliefs about the nature of homosexuality, and their association with antigay attitudes, were examined in three studies (Ns = 309, 487, and 216). Contrary to previous research, three dimensions were obtained: the belief that homosexuality is biologically based, immutable, and fixed early in life; the belief that it is cross-culturally and historically universal; and the belief that it constitutes a discrete, entitative type with defining features. Study 1 supported a three-factor structure for essentialist beliefs about male homosexuality. Study 2 replicated this structure with confirmatory factor analysis, extended it to beliefs about lesbianism, showed that all three dimensions predicted antigay attitudes, and demonstrated that essentialist beliefs mediate associations between prejudice and gender, ethnicity, and religiosity. Study 3 replicated the belief structure and mediation effects in a community sample and showed that essentialist beliefs predict antigay prejudice independently of right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, and political conservatism.
