Previous issue date: 2017-03-09 / Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico - CNPq / Sexual stigma and exposure to prejudice can have a negative impact on mental health and well-being of homosexual men. Theorizing about such impacts led to formulation of the minority stress model and studies that investigate the role played by family in relation to these experiences. This dissertation has the aim of verify and understand associations between exposure of prejudice and violence, family factors and mental health problems in homosexual men. Two empirical studies were developed. Study 1, entitled ?Minority Stress, Parenting Stiles, Child Abuse and Mental Health in Homosexual Men?, aimed to investigate the association between minority stress, parenting styles, child abuse and indicators of mental health problems among homosexual men. The study design was quantitative, cross-sectional, correlational and retrospective. One hundred and one brazilian men self-identified as homosexual with ages between 18 and 55 were participants. Instruments included: a) Sociodemographic questionnaire; b) Enacted Stigma Scale; c) Shortened Internalized Homonegativity Scale; d) Concealment of Sexual Identity Inventory; e) Respondingness and Demandingness Parental Styles Scale; f) Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure Scale (MACE); g) Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). Descriptive analyzes indicated that the majority of participants had already been victims of prejudice based on sexual orientation. Through correlation analyses, it was identified that the responsiveness of parents or caregivers was associated with lower incidence of child abuse, experiences of enacted stigma and depression in adulthood. Although the averages pointed to low indicators of mental health problems, concealment of sexual identity was a predictor of depression, anxiety and stress. It was also verified that mistreatment perpetrated by pairs contributed to explain stress. Study 2, entitled ?Disclosure of Sexual Orientation, Prejudice and Violence: What is the Role of Parents?? aimed to understand the process of disclosure of sexual orientation, experiences of prejudice and violence motivated by sexual orientation and perceptions about parent?s role in relation to these situations. The study was qualitative and exploratory. Seven men self-identified as homosexual with ages between 19 and 33 were participants. Participants answered a semi-structural interview that occurred individually. The analyses were performed through Thematic Analysis. It was identified that the disclosure of sexual orientation to parents was conducted voluntarily and involved the need to share a central aspect of personal identity. Initial reactions of parents were negative, with the majority failing to provide emotional support to their children. Prejudice and violence began in childhood and were part of the daily life of participants in the form of tricks, humiliations and physical abuse. Although they generated feelings of anger and sadness, issues related to prejudice and violence were not treated with parents. / O estigma sexual negativo e a exposi??o a manifesta??es de preconceito podem levar a consequ?ncias negativas para a sa?de mental e o bem-estar de indiv?duos homossexuais. A teoriza??o sobre tais impactos levou ? formula??o do modelo de estresse de minoria (minority stress) e a estudos que investigam o papel desempenhado pela fam?lia frente a essas experi?ncias. Esta disserta??o de Mestrado tem o objetivo geral de verificar e compreender rela??es entre exposi??o a preconceito e viol?ncia, fatores familiares e problemas de sa?de mental em homens homossexuais. Para tanto, foram desenvolvidos dois estudos emp?ricos. O Estudo 1, intitulado ?Estresse de Minoria, Estilos Parentais, Maus Tratos e Sa?de Mental em Homens Homossexuais?, teve o objetivo de investigar a rela??o entre estresse de minoria, estilos parentais, hist?rico de maus tratos na inf?ncia e indicadores de problemas de sa?de mental em uma amostra composta por homens adultos homossexuais. O delineamento do estudo foi quantitativo, transversal, correlacional e retrospectivo. Participaram 101 homens brasileiros autoidentificados como homossexuais e com idades entre 18 e 55 anos. Os instrumentos inclu?ram: a) Question?rio de dados sociodemogr?ficos; b) Escala de Estigma Imposto; c) Escala Reduzida de Homonegatividade Internalizada; d) Invent?rio de Encobrimento da Identidade Sexual; e) Escala de Estilos Parentais Responsividade e Exig?ncia; f) Maltreatment and Abuse Chronology of Exposure Scale (MACE); g) Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21). De modo geral, os resultados indicaram que a maioria dos participantes j? havia sido v?tima de manifesta??es de preconceito e viol?ncia motivadas pela orienta??o sexual. Por meio das an?lises de correla??o, identificou-se que a responsividade dos pais ou cuidadores se associou ? menor ocorr?ncia de maus tratos na inf?ncia, experi?ncias de estigma imposto e depress?o na idade adulta. Embora as m?dias tenham apontado para baixos indicadores de problemas de sa?de mental, o encobrimento da identidade sexual foi preditor de depress?o, ansiedade e estresse. Verificou-se, tamb?m, que os maus tratos perpetrados por pares tamb?m contribu?ram para explicar o estresse. J? o Estudo 2, intitulado ?Revela??o da Orienta??o Sexual, Preconceito e Viol?ncia: Qual o Papel dos Pais??, objetivou compreender o processo de revela??o da orienta??o sexual, experi?ncias de preconceito e viol?ncia motivadas pela orienta??o sexual e percep??es sobre o papel dos pais frente a essas situa??es vivenciadas por homens adultos homossexuais. O delineamento do estudo foi qualitativo e explorat?rio. Participaram sete homens autoidentificados como homossexuais e com idades entre 19 e 33 anos. Os participantes responderam a uma entrevista semi-estruturada que ocorreu individualmente. A an?lise foi realizada por meio da An?lise Tem?tica. A partir das entrevistas p?de-se identificar que os participantes do estudo realizaram a revela??o da orienta??o sexual de forma volunt?ria para os pais. As rea??es iniciais dos pais foram consideradas negativas, sendo que a maioria n?o ofereceu suporte emocional aos filhos. As experi?ncias de preconceito e viol?ncia iniciavam na inf?ncia e faziam parte do cotidiano dos entrevistados na forma de deboches, humilha??es e agress?es f?sicas. Apesar de gerarem sentimentos de raiva e tristeza, temas relacionados ao preconceito e ? viol?ncia n?o eram tratados com os pais.
