This study examined the effect of two interventions (didactic and perspective-taking) on five dimensions of heterosexism (hostile, aversive, amnestic, paternalistic, and positive stereotypic). Participants were 117 undergraduate students, randomly assigned to one of three groups in this posttest-only control group experiment. After the intervention, the participants completed measures of sexual prejudice, right-wing authoritarianism (RWA), gender role beliefs (GRB), and a demographic questionnaire. Results from the first step of hierarchical regression models showed that RWA and GRB were significantly predictive of all dimensions of heterosexism except for positive stereotypic, accounting for 13.8% to 56.7% of the variance. This suggests that interventions targeting sexual prejudice should examine both variables. When between-group comparisons were added during the second step, the didactic intervention in comparison with the control group was significantly predictive of lower paternalistic heterosexism; the perspective-taking intervention in comparison with the control group was significantly predictive of lower positive stereotypic heterosexism.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines two types of machismo: traditional machismo and caballerismo, primarily focusing on how these concepts are understood differently in English and Spanish.
  • Researchers assessed whether a previously established 2-factor model of machismo remains consistent across languages through a survey with English (428 respondents) and Spanish speakers (102 respondents).
  • Results showed that while the model fit for English speakers, Spanish speakers revealed a new 3-factor structure, introducing "inherent machismo," which relates to Internalized Heterosexism, highlighting cultural variations in understanding machismo and the need for appropriate assessment tools in Spanish.

Historically excluded patient populations-particularly racial, ethnic, and sexually and gender minoritized people-experience gross inequities in health, worsened by the HIV and COVID-19 pandemics. Culturally responsive communication (CRC) is a vital tool health professionals can use to address these inequities. Yet, CRC can be challenging to , particularly during pandemics.

For lesbian, gay, bisexual, and questioning (LGBQ) youth of color, the intersection of identifying as both LGBQ and a person of color results in not only managing racial stereotypes, but also heterosexism and genderism. Developing a critical understanding of oppressive social conditions and ways to engage in social action is a form of resistance for these youth. Research is needed among LGBQ youth of color that examines the range of predictors and outcomes related to civic engagement, development, and empowerment.

Patient engagement in healthcare planning and evaluation has been promoted as a way to improve healthcare's ability to meet patients' needs. However, populations experiencing oppression and discrimination, such as racism, colonialism, sexism, heterosexism, cisnormativity, ableism, classism, and poverty, are often underrepresented in patient engagement spaces. The context and structure of patient engagement processes may systematically exclude certain populations from participating in meaningful ways or from participating at all.
