Research examining college students' attitudes toward homosexuality has been consistently reported as generally negative (Herek, 1984a; Malaney, Williams, & Geller, 1997; & Mohr & Sedlacek, 2000). Furthermore, the attitudes of heterosexual college males have reflected higher levels of negativity when compared to their female counterparts (D'Augelli & Rose, 1991; Kite, 1984; & Smith & Gordon, 1998). The ensuing literature review examines research studies conducted at large, small, public, and private institutions. The purpose of this study is to investigate attitudes toward gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people from the point of view of heterosexual males who attend private institutions. The literature in regards to private institutional campus setting is very limited. Data was collected through the dissemination of the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender (GLBT) Attitude Assessment at four private colleges. The administration of the instrument was conducted through a designated coordinator and through facilitators who agreed to participate. Descriptive data, including means, standard deviation and histograms, were collected. In addition, the research study used four methods of inferential statistics: (1) within-subjects ANOVA, (2) t-tests with a Bonferroni adjusted alpha, (3) within-subjects ANOVA with one between-subjects variable, and (4) the post-hoc Ryan Procedure. All statistical tests were performed using an alpha level of .05 unless otherwise stated. The GLBT Attitude Assessment included the GLBT Far Proximity Scale and GLBT Close Proximity Scale. While the GLBT Far Proximity Scale indicated no mean difference from males toward the subgroups, the statistical analysis conducted on the GLBT Close Proximity Scale did indicate a mean difference. In addition, males who held conservative beliefs in their political and religious orientations were significantly different than those who held liberal and moderate beliefs. Respondents' differences presented in this study were within the neutral range, however, they had negative and positive trends. For example, the respondents' attitudes were least positive toward transgender people. / Master of Arts

Masculinity has been widely regarded as a harmful cognition that may lead men to engage in risk behavior. The present study sought to examine the role of hyper masculine cognitions and behaviors on sexual health in a sample of gay and bisexual men. A sample of n=313 gay and bisexual men were sampled from the community. Results indicate significant effects of hyper masculine behaviors and hyper masculine cognitions on sexual health variables. Moreover, engaging in risky sexual situations fully mediated effects of hyper masculine behavior on high-risk sexual behavior. Results are discussed with a focus on ego depletion and hegemonic masculinity.

A questão do uso das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TIC) pelos sujeitos-gays para a produção de novos processos de sociabilidade na contemporaneidade tem ocupado destaque nas abordagens realizadas em uma série de espaços discursivos, resultando em análises e trabalhos de inúmeras áreas e enfoques teóricos. No presente trabalho, objetivamos investigar de que modo os sujeitos-gays e os aplicativos de relacionamento voltados para eles são abordados nos discursos jornalísticos produzidos por espaços de imprensa disponibilizados on-line, contando como referencial analítico, metodológico e teórico a Análise do Discurso de filiação francesa (Pêcheux, 1997a, 1997b, 2010, 2014). Buscou-se analisar os discursos e sentidos produzidos sobre os sujeitos-gays que são usuários dos aplicativos de relacionamento apresentados em 37 textos jornalísticos, constituindo o corpus da pesquisa, publicados no período de 2010 a 2015 e provenientes de quatro espaços de notícias vinculados as grandes estruturas midiáticas do país (Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo, Portal G1 e Portal IG). Selecionamos materiais que abordam os três principais aplicativos desse tipo utilizados no Brasil: o Grindr, o Hornet e o Scruff. O trabalho com os discursos jornalísticos permite observarmos que a abordagem na atualidade, sobre os sujeitos-gays e os espaços atrelados a eles, apresenta diferenças no modo como era realizada em um passado recente, em decorrência das alterações sócio-históricas do período. As relações dos sujeitos-gays com esses aplicativos são abordadas nos espaços jornalísticos e apresentadas aos sujeitos-leitores dos espaços de notícias, inscrevendo sentidos sobre o surgimento, modos de funcionamento e usos dessas tecnologias. Identificamos que os discursos jornalísticos sobre os sujeitos-gays na relação de uso com os aplicativos não estão restritos à abordagem das novas formas de sociabilidade, essa discussão é apresentada e destaca como as formas de encontro passam por alterações na sua realização, seja na procura por relacionamentos sérios, amizades ou sexo casual, mas outros pontos importantes são ressaltados, entre eles, a facilidade envolvendo a contaminação por Doenças Sexualmente Transmissíveis (DST), a importância dos sujeitos-gays para a estrutura econômica atual e modificações no espaço urbano pelo uso dessas tecnologias. Os aplicativos de relacionamento interferem no modo como os sujeitos-gays encontram e estabelecem relações, o que está ligado às atuais condições de produção da contemporaneidade, produzindo novos sentidos sobre esses sujeitos e os espaços relacionados a eles. / The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) by gay subjects to produce new sociability processes in contemporary times has been emphasized in the approaches carried out in a series of discursive spaces, resulting in analyses and works of numerous areas and theoretical perspectives. In this paper, based on the analytical, methodological and theoretical assumptions of French Discourse Analysis (Pêcheux, 1997a, 1997b, 2010, 2014), we aim to investigate how gay subjects and the dating applications aimed at them are addressed in the journalistic discourses produced by the press made available online. We sought to analyze discourses and meanings produced on gay subjects who make use of such applications, in a corpus composed of 37 journalistic texts, published in the period of 2010-2015 and issued by four spaces of news associated with the countrys large media groups (Folha de S. Paulo, O Estado de S. Paulo, Portal G1 e Portal IG). We have selected materials that cover the three main dating applications used in Brazil: Grindr, Hornet and Scruff. The work with journalistic discourses allows us to observe that the current approach on gay subjects and spaces related to them differs from the one carried out in a recent past. These changes are produced as a result of socio-historical transformations in contemporary times. The relationships of gay subjects with such applications are approached in journalistic spaces and presented to reader subjects of the news spaces, inscribing meanings about their appearance, modes of operation and uses. We have identified that journalistic discourses on gay subjects concerning the use of applications are not restricted to the approach on new forms of sociability. Such a discussion is presented and highlights how the forms of encounter go through changes, either in the search for serious relationships, friendships or casual sex. Also, other important aspects are made clear, e.g. the ease involving the transmission of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD), the importance of gay subjects to the current economic structure, and modifications in the urban space through the use of such technologies. Dating applications interfere with the way gay subjects find and establish relationships, which is connected to the current conditions of production in the contemporary times, producing new meanings about such subjects and the spaces related to them.

Presentado en el III Foro Internacional de Traducción Especializada. La traducción especializada desde dos perspectivas: académica y ámbito profesional. / El presente trabajo es una propuesta teórica y empírica en torno a la categoría relacional traducción y género con la finalidad de establecer la masculinidad como una posición de género relevante para la investigación traductológica. La revisión de la teoría aborda inicialmente la concurrencia de los conceptos feminismo, género y mujer en los estudios de traducción (Brufau Alvira, 2011). A partir de ello, se elabora sobre la noción de masculinidad para establecer su capacidad analítica y crítica en relación con el sistema sexo/género (Connell, 2008; Rubin, 1975). Con respecto a lo empírico, se presentarán los mapas temáticos que resultaron de analizar entrevistas en profundidad a cuatro traductores varones, entre 22 y 28 años, sobre sus experiencias en programas universitarios de traducción e interpretación en Lima (Perú). Estas entrevistas permitirán abordar, por un lado, la noción de que la segregación profesional por cuestiones de sexo/género no necesariamente conduce a situaciones de desigualdad, sino que la generización de un campo profesional puede constitur también espacios de diferencia para la concentración de sujetos que, se supone, no deberían estar ahí (Blackburn & Jarman, 2006). En ese sentido se identificarán los temas relacionados con las masculinidades gais que surgieron de las entrevistas y la manera en que estos permiten elaborar trayectorias comunes hacia la elaboración de una identidad sexual (Eribon, 2004). De esta manera, se pondrá de relieve los componentes identitarios que los participantes han logrado elaborar mediante el abordaje de “las inquietudes de sí mismos” o “el cultivo de sí mismos” (Foucault, 1987) en su etapa universitaria y la manera en que su subjetividad integra nociones de sexualidad y aspectos culturales (Halperin, 2012), en particular, relacionados con la traducción como disciplina académica y profesión.

Objectification theory explains how media-driven ideals can be internalized and lead to the development of eating disorders, poor body image, depression, anxiety, a desire to achieve a thin ideal, and lowered rates of relationship satisfaction. Research on objectification theory, until recently, has focused primarily on a female population and heterosexual couples. As nontraditional sexual identities have become more accepted in society, media influences have begun to impact other populations, including the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender community. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of these media-driven ideals on a gay male population and determine how objectification may lead to lower rates of relationship satisfaction. A multiple linear regression analysis was used in this study to determine if the predictor variables of self-objectification, partner-objectification, socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, and education adequately predict the criterion variable of relationship satisfaction in a sample of 81 gay males. Results of the study support the theory that higher levels of reported objectification predicted relationship satisfaction. In other words, the more a gay male objectified himself, the less satisfied he was in romantic relationships. The findings of this study are significant because this is one of the first studies to investigate this topic among a gay male population. The results speak to the impact that media-driven messages can have on an individual, not only in terms of self-concept, but in terms of how those beliefs impact relationship satisfaction. In terms of positive social change, the results may allow for more education at younger ages to teach adolescents the impact of objectification.
