“…Nearly 40% of the students surveyed had witnessed some sort of physical violence related to a person's sexual orientation at some point. These results are in line with findings from studies by Generelo and Pichardo (2005), Pichardo et al, (2007), Pichardo and De Sefano (2015) and Fulcher (2017). When we contrast these results to those the homophobic actions (insults, comments and mockery) reported as perpetrated by responding students, only 15% stated that they had carried out homophobic actions.…”

It has been found that adolescents do not only display homophobic behavior in order to express homophobic attitudes, but also more instrumentally, for instance to acquire social status or as a bullying strategy (Fulcher 2017 ). This means that this study provided evidence on influence and selection mechanisms on an attribute that is closely linked to the concept of homophobia.…”
