Abstract

Internalizirana homofobija je termin kojim se opisuje netrpeljivost, mržnja, neprihvaćanje
i negativan stav LGBT osobe prema vlastitoj seksualnoj orijentaciji, a može se manifestirati i
kao nasilje nad drugim LGBT osobama. LGBT osoba na sebe usmjeruje postojeći negativni
stav društva prema seksualnoj orijentaciji drugačijoj od heteroseksualne.
Cilj ovog istraživanja je odrediti postoji li povezanost između stupnja internalizirane
homofobije i iskustva različitih vrsta i oblika doživljenog ili počinjenog nasilja. Uzorak
ispitanika u ovom istraživanju su 228 LBG osobe koje su se samo-identificirale kao takve.
Anketni upitnik sadrži devet dijelova sa setovima pitanja o sljedećim područjima:
sociodemografskim karakteristikama, LGBT identitetu, internaliziranoj homofobiji, bifobiji,
intimnom partnerskom nasilju, nasilju na internetu te ostalim oblicima nasilja. Razne LGBT
udruge su podijelile anketni upitnik svojim članovima i na svojim internetskim stranicama te
su ispitanici zamoljeni da upitnik podijele sa svojim LGB poznanicima. Uzorak se, dakle,
može okarakterizirati kao prigodan i uzorak je snježne grude. Prema rezultatima dobivenim
jednosmjernom analizom varijance, muškarci prosječno imaju viši stupanj internalizirane
homofobije u odnosu na žene. Analiza korelacije ukazuje na pozitivnu povezanost između
stupnja internalizirane homofobije i svih vrsta i oblika nasilja.

Abstract (english)

Internalized homophobia is a term used to describe intolerance, hatred, rejection, and a
negative attitude of an LGBT person towards their own sexual orientation and can also
manifest as violence against other LGBT people. An LGBT person directs society’s existing
negative attitude concerning a sexual orientation other than heterosexual towards themselves.
The aim of this study is to determine whether there is a relationship between the degree of
internalized homophobia and the experience of different types and forms of violence
experienced or initiated. The sample of respondents in this study consists of 228 LGB
individuals who self-identified as such. The questionnaire contains nine sections with sets of
questions on the following areas: sociodemographic characteristics, LGBT identity,
internalized homophobia, biphobia, intimate partner violence, online violence and other forms
of violence. Various LGBT associations distributed the questionnaire to their members and
through their websites, and respondents were asked to share the questionnaire with their LGB
acquaintances. The sample, therefore, is a snowball sample and can be characterized as
suitable. According to the results obtained by one-way analysis of variance, men on average
have a higher degree of internalized homophobia compared to women. Correlation analysis
indicates a positive correlation between the degree of internalized homophobia and all types
and forms of violence.
