Abstract

Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati moderatorsku ulogu statusa grupe (većina ili manjina) na odnos međugrupnog kontakta i spremnosti na uključivanje u kolektivnu akciju s ciljem smanjenja nejednakosti osoba homoseksualne orijentacije u odnosu na heteroseksualnu većinu. Također smo htjeli ispitati moderatorsku ulogu statusa grupe na odnos međugrupnog kontakta i percipirane međugrupne prijetnje. Istraživanje je provedeno putem online upitnika na 286 sudionika od čega je 187 heteroseksualnih osoba i 99 pripadnika LGBTIQ populacije. Sudionici su popunili upitnik koji je uključivao mjeru kvalitete kontakta s pripadnicima druge grupe, skalu percipirane simboličke prijetnje i skalu spremnosti na kolektivnu akciju usmjerenu na boljitak LGBTIQ populacije. Rezultati pokazuju značajnu povezanost međugrupnog kontakta sa spremnosti na kolektivnu akciju i percipiranom međugrupnom prijetnjom. Potvrđena je moderatorska uloga statusa grupe, pri čemu na uzorku heteroseksualnih osoba pozitivniji kontakt s pripadnicima druge grupe povećava spremnost na kolektivnu akciju, dok na uzorku homoseksualnih osoba međugrupni kontakt nije povezan sa spremnosti na kolektivnu akciju. Nadalje, potvrđena je moderatorska uloga statusa grupe i na odnos kvalitete kontakta i percepcije simboličke prijetnje, pri čemu je na oba uzorka pozitivniji kontakt s pripadnicima druge grupe povezan sa smanjenom percepcijom te grupe kao prijetnje, ali je taj efekt veći kod heteroseksualnih osoba. Rezultati su razmatrani iz perspektive teorije kontakta te zanemarene uloge statusa grupe u tom kontekstu.<br />The aim of the research was to examine the moderating role of the group status (minority or majority) on the relationship between intergroup contact and willingness to get involved in a collective action with the aim of reducing inequalities of the persons with homosexual orientation with regard to the heterosexual majority. Additionally, the aim was to analyse the moderating role of the group status on the relationship between intergroup contact and perceived intergroup threat. The research was conducted via online survey on a sample of 286 respondents out of whom there were 187 heterosexual persons and 99 members of the LGBTIQ population. The respondents completed a survey which included a measure of quality of contact with the members of the other group, the scale of perceived symbolic threat and the scale of willingness to take collective action aimed at the improvement of the position of the LGBTIQ population. The results show a significant connection between intergroup contact and willingness to take collective action and perceived intergroup threat. The moderating role of the group status was confirmed, whereas on the sample of heterosexual persons a more positive contact with the members of the other group increases willingness to take collective action, while for homosexual persons the intergroup contact is not connected with the willingness to take collective action. Furthermore, the moderating role of the group status was confirmed on the relationship between the quality of contact and perception of symbolic threat, at which a more positive contact with the members of the other group was connected with the reduced perception of that group as a threat in both samples of respondents, but a higher effect of it was observed in the case of heterosexual persons. The results are analysed from the perspective of the contact theory and the neglected role of group status in that context.
