YANG, Jinfang  and  INIGUEZ-RUEDA, Lupicinio. Male homosexuality and lesbianism in Chinese psychology: systematic review between 2012 and 2016. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2021, vol.17, n.1, pp.227-242.  Epub Dec 30, 2020. ISSN 1794-9998.  https://doi.org/10.15332/22563067.6543.

To identify the study and the approach Chinese psychology takes on homosexuality and lesbianism, a systematic review of the bibliography published between 2012 and 2016 was conducted. The search was made in six databases: BVS, Dialnet, PsycINFO (PsycNET), Scopus, Web of Science and CNKI (中国知网). As result, 240 articles were found: 202 from mainland China, 30 from Hong Kong, and 12 from Taiwan. We analyzed the languages used, amount of publication in each year, the areas of psychology in which they were published and the topics of the published articles have been organized into 12 categories. Based on the results, we present a discussion on the constructed pathologization of the homosexual population, the invisibility of the female homosexual population, the hegemony of the English language and the effect of censorship of scientific publication.

Keywords : homosexuality; male homosexuality; female homosexuality; psychology; systematic review; China.
