“…Our results showed low mean values of explicit prejudice/transphobia, especially in the GB behavioral dimension. Although a direct comparison with other studies is not straightforward due to the use of different scales or versions of the same scale, the observed level of transphobia is similar or even lower than that obtained in other countries [ 22 , 23 , 24 ]. As an average result, it is not surprising to find tolerant attitudes toward trans* people in liberal democracies, since, in the last few decades, social and political movements in these countries have denounced discrimination against minority groups.…”

Measuring Explicit Prejudice and Transphobia in Nursing Students and Professionals

et al. 2020

Trans* people frequently report attitudes of prejudice/transphobia in health professionals. Conversely, health professionals indicate the lack of adequate training to care for these people and its impact on the quality of care provided. Objective: Our objective was to evaluate the explicit prejudices/transphobia of health students and professionals and compare them with the general population in Tenerife. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with the Genderism and Transphobia Scale (GTS) and the Negative Attitude towards Trans* people Scale (EANT) with a total of 602 participants. Results: We found a low mean level of explicit prejudice/transphobia, with little/no differences between occupation groups. Explicit transphobia was correlated with being a man, less educated, and heterosexual, and not personally knowing a trans* person. Men and women were less transphobic about trans* people whose identities coincided with their own. Conclusion: All participants showed a low mean level of explicit transphobia. This result is not incompatible with unconscious prejudice, which may translate to discriminatory behaviors. Interventions to change negative attitudes are still needed, since even a small percentage of transphobic health professionals could exert a considerable negative impact on health care. In professionals without transphobic attitudes, the barriers identified by trans* people might be a problem due to the lack of specific training.

“…The same results were obtained by Willoughby et al in 2010, where a high level of transnegative behaviour was found in a heterosexual population of Canadian and Filipino students. The same results also produce the results e. g. in the American adolescent population (Ceglian & Lyons, 2004;Nagoshi et al, 2008;Tebbe & Moradi, 2012;Walch et al, 2012), in the English student population (Tee & Hegarty, 2006), in the Thai adolescent population (Ngmake et al, 2013) or in the Polish population of university students (Antoszewski et al, 2007).…”

Primárnym cieľom nášho výskumu je analyzovať rozdiely v zložkách homonegativity, binegativity a transnegativity (HBT) a vybraných faktoroch HBT (charakteristiky rovesníckeho tlaku, nepodložené mýty a tvrdenia o HBT) u slovenských adolescentov vzhľadom na ich sexuálnu identifikáciu a rod. Sekundárnym cieľom je identifikovať vzťah medzi výskumnými premennými. Ako výskumné metódy sme využili nami modifikovanú verziu The Homophobia Scale (Wright, Adams, & Bernat, 1999); modifikovanú verziu The Perceived Peer Pressure Scale (Palani & Mani, 2016) a autorskú škálu Mýty a nepodložené tvrdenia o LGBT+ minorite. Výskumný súbor tvorilo 209 adolescentov slovenskej národnosti; 148 sa identifikovalo ako heterosexuálni/heterosexuálne a 61 sa identifikovalo ako LGBT+. Analýza preukázala signifikantné rozdiely takmer vo všetkých výskumných premenných v smere vyšších hodnôt u heterosexuálne identifikovanej populácie adolescentov, významný rozdiel sme nezaznamenali v rezistencii voči rovesníckemu tlaku. Zaznamenali sme významné štatistické genderové rozdiely u heterosexuálne identifikovaných adolescentov, kde muži dosahovali významne vyššie skóre vo všetkých zložkách homonegativity, binegativity a transnegativity v porovnaní s populáciou žien. Identifikovali sme tiež významný vzťah medzi kognitívnou, emocionálnou a behaviorálnou zložkou homonegativity, binegativity a transnegativity. Zistili sme, že LGBT+ identifikovaní adolescenti významne viac percipujú rovesnícky tlak (vrátane ziskov z členstva v rovesníckych skupinách) v porovnaní s heterosexuálne identifikovanými adolescentmi.

“…For example, Dierckx et al (2017) studied a large sample of Belgians and showed that in this country, which ranks at the top of the European countries in terms of LGBT individuals' civil rights (Donaldson et al 2017), a high level of anti-transgender prejudice might be observed. Similarly surprising were the results of a study Ngamake et al (2013), who showed that in Thailand, known as a country open for those who want to medically change their gender and in which the transgender community is strong, overall attitudes toward transgender individuals were not different than those observed in a sample from the United States.…”

Two Sexes, Two Genders Only: Measuring Attitudes toward Transgender Individuals in Poland

Transphobia is an under-examined but important type of prejudice to study in Polish culture. Poland is a country where a majority of transgender people feel discriminated against. There is a need for a more evidence-based measures for researchers and practitioners to better understand transphobia. The main purpose of the present three studies (n = 300 participants for each study) was to validate the Genderism and Transphobia Scale (GTS; Hill and Willoughby 2005) and the Transphobia Scale (TS; Nagoshi et al. 2008) in Polish culture and to identify the possible psychological and demographic factors that matter in forming attitudes toward transgender individuals. The results confirm that Polish versions of both the GTS and the TS are reliable instruments to measure attitudes toward transgender individuals. Moreover, the studies revealed that both traditional and modern homonegativity, right-wing authoritarianism, social dominance orientation, religious fundamentalism, attitudes toward gender roles, and biological and cultural beliefs about the origins of gender differences were significant predictors of transphobia. As in previous studies, men were more prejudiced toward gender nonconformists in comparison to women. These studies contribute well-adapted tools for measuring transphobia and data-driven collection of significant predictors of transphobia.
