RESUMENObjetivo: Analizar la relación entre prejuicio y distancia social hacia homosexuales en estudiantes universitarios paraguayos de Psicología. Método: Se recolectaron datos de 86 estudiantes de la capital y 105 estudiantes del interior del país. Se aplicó la Escala autoadministrable de Prejuicio hacia Gays y Lesbianas de García, revisada por Toro -Alfonso & Varas-Díaz (2004). Resultados: Se encuentra una relación positiva entre prejuicio y distancia social, sin diferencia significativa entre estudiantes de la capital y del interior. Los niveles de prejuicio y distancia social disminuyen conforme avanza el estudiante en la carrera. Existen diferencias significativas en cuanto a religión y escolaridad. Conclusión: La homofobia está presente moderadamente en los universitarios de Psicología de la muestra paraguaya, disminuyendo a medida que es mayor el nivel de formación.
