Xenophobia and Homophobia as Effects of Politics, Religion and Sex Orientation Measured by Classism and Patriocentrism in Chilean University Students. Rev. colomb. psicol.

This research examines in Chilean university students the relationship between xenophobia and homophobia with socio-demographic variables (sex, religion and political orientation), and the mediating role of classism and patrio-centrism in the relationship of socio-demographic variables with xenophobia and homophobia. We applied quantitative methodology with correlational design. The study involved 509 students, with mean age of 20.81 years (SD= 2.25). The participants answered a questionnaire based on the Survey of Tolerance and Non-Discrimination. The analysis of variance showed that there are significant differences by sex, religion and political orientation. Women showed lower levels of homophobia compared to women, and non-believers and left-wing participants scored lower in all dimensiones analyzed compared to believers and right-wing participants. Furthermore, multiple mediation analyses showed that patrio-centrism and classism explain differences in homophobia and xenophobia.
