In this study we evaluated the psychometric properties of the Homophobic Bullying Scale in a sample of Spanish adolescents. The study comprised 791 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old (M= 13.96, SD= 1.18) who completed this questionnaire along with the Modern Homophobia Scale that measures homophobic attitudes. The results of the factor analyses confirmed a structure of four intercorrelated factors: 1) observation of homophobic bullying behaviors against gay boys, 2) observation of homophobic bullying behaviors against lesbians, 3) perpetration of homophobic bullying against gay boys, and 4) perpetration of homophobic bullying against lesbians. The questionnaire showed good reliability and perpetration scores were associated with homophobic attitudes. Higher prevalence of bullying was found against gay boys than against lesbian girls. These results show that this is a simple and valid questionnaire for the evaluation of homophobic bullying among Spanish adolescents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Affective-sexual diversity refers to all the possibilities that people have to assume, express and live their sexuality, as well as to assume expressions, preferences or orientations and sexual identities with the guarantee of their sexual and reproductive rights. At school, affective-sexual diversity does not count as curriculum content and is a reality to which attention has not been given. Homophobic bullying is also a reality. Objective: to analyze the perception of adolescents aged 12 to 18 years of sexual-affective diversity and homophobic bullying at the UENB dr. LUÍS ortega of Puerto Fermín, Nueva esparta state during the month of november 2017. Methods: descriptive study of the transectional field. An instrument with validity and reliability was applied to 377 adolescents to measure the objectives set. Results: adolescents showed a low level of knowledge in basic concepts about sexuality and their sexual and reproductive rights; affective-sexual diversity and homophobic bullying were expressed within the educational institution and in their homes, with a low perception of support from families, teachers and peers. Conclusion and recommendations: affective-sexual diversity and homophobic bullying within the school are a reality. Adolescents need a family and teachers who have a more formative role than informative in sex education and their sexual and reproductive rights. Recognition and coexistence based on respect for individual rights will reduce the incidence of homophobic bullying. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

One of the contexts where persons with non-normative affective-sexual orientation suffer more discrimination, violence and rejection, is the school context. Empirical evidence verifies that this harassment, suffered in the past, may leave an important imprint on the psychological well-being of these subjects. The present study had as its first objective to analyze if lesbians, gays and bisexuals (LGB) who suffered a stressful event in childhood and/or adolescence, such as having been the victim of school harassment on account of affective-sexual orientation, show negative consequences in their psychological well-being. The results, obtained from 119 LGB subjects, suggest that bullying suffered in childhood and/or adolescence affects the subjects' psychological well-being of today and, specifically, depression and anxiety levels, self-esteem and affective balance. Along with these factors, the instrumentality and expressiveness dimensions of gender identity can also be factors which may influence psychological well-being. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
