Abstract

Social and legislative advances in favor of the equality of LGBTI+ people have led to a normalization of coexistence and to a reduction of the inequality. However, the subtle and explicit manifestations of negative attitudes persist today, causing individual and social consequences. For this reason, the present study provides knowledge about these attitudes, as well as about the factors that can contribute to their attenuation or amplification through three objectives: (i) to explore the knowledge about transsexuality, as it is a less present term in the collective imaginary; (ii) to determine the level of negative attitudes towards trans people and diverse sexual orientation people, and establish the relationship between both constructs; (iii) to study differences in attitudes based on ideological variables such as political orientation and orientation towards social dominance, intergroup contact, education, gender and age. In the study, with a mixed qualitative-quantitative design, 97 people from Western Andalusia participated, Mage = 31.1, Sd = 11. The results showed that there is a general knowledge about transsexuality, being the level of negative attitudes towards gender and sexual minorities not high. It is found, however, that the highest negative attitudes occur in those with rightwing ideology, greater orientation towards social dominance and less intergroup contact. Men, compared to women, showed greater prejudice in all the dimensions evaluated. Neither age nor having received related training produced differences in the level of negative attitudes. As a whole, the results contribute to knowing the perception about trans people, as well as the factors that could produce an increase or decrease in prejudice towards LGBTI+ people.
