[pt] Diversos fatores são considerados no julgamento da atratividade de possíveis parceiros amorosos. Esses fatores abrangem características físicas, traços psicológicos, status social e demonstração de recursos. Homens que ostentam posse de recursos são considerados mais atraentes por mulheres que preferem relacionamentos de longo prazo. Pesquisas recentes vêm mostrando que o consumo conspícuo pode ter importante papel como critério de atratividade. Por outro lado, o consumo conspícuo parece aumentar a atratividade dos homens perante mulheres interessadas em relações de curto prazo. Desse modo, o primeiro capítulo consiste numa revisão de literatura sobre recursos como sinais de atratividade em relacionamentos de longo prazo. O segundo capítulo consiste numa análise dos resultados de quatro experimentos que tiveram como objetivo investigar a influência do consumo conspícuo como critério de atratividade de mulheres interessadas em relacionamentos de curto prazo. O segundo objetivo desse estudo foi verificar se o consumo conspícuo influenciaria a atratividade de indivíduos não-heterossexuais em relacionamentos de curto prazo. Os resultados não mostraram influência do consumo conspícuo sobre a atratividade, independente da orientação sexual. Surpreendentemente, alguns resultados sugeriram que as mulheres acharam mais atraentes os indivíduos na condição sem consumo conspícuo. Isso pode ter ocorrido devido a um viés amostral. A maioria dos participantes tinha alto grau educacional, o que pode estar associado maior preferência por relacionamentos de longo prazo. O objeto usado como consumo conspícuo (carro popular e carro luxuoso) pode, ainda, não ser de especial interesse dessa amostra com alto grau de escolaridade. / [en] Several factors are essential in judging the attractions of your mating partners. These encompassing physical factors, psychological traits, social status and demonstration of resources/wealth. Men who possess resources are considered more attractive by women who prefer long-term relationships. Recent research showing conspicuous consumption may play an important role as a criterion of attractiveness. On the other hand, conspicuous consumption seems to increase the attractiveness of men to women interested in short-term relationships. Thus, the first chapter consists of a literature review of resources as signs of attractiveness in long-term relationships. The second method is an analysis of the results of four experiments that attempt to corroborate an influence of conspicuous consumption as a criterion of attractiveness of women interested in short-term relationships. Considering the scarcity of studies with non-heterosexual participants, the second objective of this study was to verify if conspicuous consumption would influence the attractiveness of non-heterosexual individuals in short-term relationships. The results did not showed influence of conspicuous consumption on attractiveness, regardless of sexual orientation. Surprisingly, some results suggested that women found individuals more attractive in the condition without conspicuous consumption. This may have occurred due to sample bias. Most participants had a high educational level, which may be associated with higher preference for long-term relationships. The object used as conspicuous consumption (popular car and luxury car) may still not be of special interest to the sample with a high degree of schooling.

Partindo de um referencial teórico da análise do comportamento, pode-se considerar que o comportamento sexual, assim como qualquer outro comportamento, é determinado pelos três níveis de seleção, ou seja, é resultante de uma carga genética, somado a um histórico de aprendizagem e ao contexto onde o indivíduo está inserido. Este estudo descritivo teve como objetivo investigar, por meio de relatos de jovens homossexuais e heterossexuais, as opiniões pessoais sobre o desenvolvimento da sexualidade e da orientação afetivo-sexual na infância e adolescência. Participaram oito pessoas com idades entre 22 e 28 anos, sendo quatro homens e quatro mulheres. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio de entrevistas e os relatos obtidos foram analisados em conteúdo resultando nas seguintes categorias: Categoria 1 - relatos sobre o período da infância e adolescência, evidenciando a influência dos modelos comportamentais no desenvolvimento das relações sociais afetivas; Categoria 2 - relatos sobre a relação com familiares, marcada por conflitos, com vínculos afetivos estabelecidos tanto com a figura da mãe quanto a do pai, além da relação com os demais familiares; Categoria 3 - educação sexual: relatos sobre a educação familiar e escolar e a influência na sexualidade, destacando a influência dos aspectos culturais, além das contingências de reforçamento no desenvolvimento humano, além de levantar a participação da escola quanto influência no processo do desenvolvimento humano e, consecutivamente, no desenvolvimento sexual; Categoria 4 - relatos sobre sexualidade... / Sexuality is a complex phenomenon, and there isn't a theory that explains, in itself, as is the development of sexuality, simnce the study of sexuality requires a development. From a analysis of behavior view, it can be considered that sexual behavior, as well as any other behavior, is determined by the three levels of selection, or is the result of a genetic load, coupled with a history of learning and the context in which the individual belongs. This descriptive study aimed to investigate, through reports of young homesexuals and heterosexuals, personal opinions on the development of sexuality and sexual-affective orientation in childhood and adolescence. Eight people participated, aged between 22 and 28 years, four men and four women. The data was collected through interviews and reports were evaluated in content resulting in the following categories: Category 1 - Reports on the period of childhood and adolescence, highlighting the influence of behavior models in the development of affefctive social relations; Category 2 - Reports on the relationship with family, market by conflict, with established emotional ties with mother and father, addressing the relation with the family; Category 3 - Sex education: report on education and family and school influences on sexuality, highlighting the influence of cultural aspects, besides the reinforcement contingencies in human development, besides raising the characteristics of the school on the process of human development and consecutively in sexual development; Category 4 - Reports about sexuality in human development, raising the participants' understanding about sexuality, and the reports related to the early episodes of sexuality; Category 5 - Reports of sexuality current and future expectations, which demonstrated the importance of family, friends and loving couples in the development of sexual identy. At the end of the study, concluded... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)

The research gathered data about group prevalence, self-identification, sexual preferencies - real as well as ideal, masturbation and pornography. The research sample accounted for 160 respondets from the AVEN forum. The online questionnaire was prepared especially for this thesis. The data are presented as whole as well as divided into two age groups - the younger (18-23) and older (24-59) group.

La littérature met en avant les nombreux signes de souffrances présents chez les jeunes homosexuels (addictions, dépression, anxiété…). Selon le « minority stress model » (Meyer, 1995), cette souffrance peut être mise en lien avec les nombreux stresseurs rencontrés par les homosexuels, plus particulièrement les stresseurs spécifiques à leur appartenance à une minorité sexuelle, comme par exemple la divulgation de leur homosexualité. En appuie sur le « minority stress model » et le modèle transactionnel du stress, cette recherche vise à mieux comprendre le déroulement de la divulgation de leur homosexualité, et les caractéristiques du stress durant cette annonce, en comparaison à d'autres situations hautement stressantes. L'étude 1 est quantitative est vise à mettre en lumière les spécificités du stress durant cette annonce, en comparaison à d'autres situations stressantes. L'étude 2 est une démarche qualitative. Elle vise à compléter les données de l'étude 1 et à mettre en évidence les différentes étapes qui composent la construction de leur identité sexuelle.Les résultats de l'étude 1 rendent compte des spécificités du stress durant la divulgation de leur homosexualité. Celles-ci se retrouvent à différents niveaux de transaction stressante (caractéristiques de la situation, évaluation primaire, secondaire, stratégies de coping et vécu émotionnel). Ces résultats illustrent également la prévalence du risque suicidaire des jeunes homosexuels lorsqu'ils sont confrontés à une situation hautement stressante. Les résultats de l'étude 2 confirment ceux de l'étude 1, et mettent en avant la complexicité de la construction de leur identité sexuelle. / The literature highlights many signs of suffering present in young homosexuals (addictions, depression, anxiety, suicidal risk ...). According to the minority stress model (Meyer, 1995), this pain can be linked to many stressors faced by homosexuals. The various stressful experiences which they face have been grouped under the term “minority stress”, such as disclosure of their homosexuality. According to the transactional stress model and the minority stress model, this research aims to better understand the course of the disclosure of their homosexuality, and characteristics of the stress during this announcement, compared to others highly stressful situations. Study 1 is a quantitative study which emphasize specificities of stress during the announcement, compared to others stressful situations. Study 2 is a qualitative approach. It aims to complement data from study 1 and to highlight different stages of sexual identity construction.Results of study 1 reflect specificities of stress during the disclosure of their homosexuality. These are found at different levels of stressful transaction (characteristics of the situation, primary assessment, secondary, coping strategies and emotional experience). These results also illustrate the prevalence of homosexuals suicidal risk when faced with a highly stressful situation. Results of study 2 confirm those of study 1, and highlight the complexity construction of sexual identity.
