Abstract

<p>  The present study examined whether classes on sexual diversity decreased the reported homophobia and transphobia of junior high school students. The participants in the experimental group were the students (N=397) in a school that had classes on sexual diversity; the control group was comprised of students (N=328) at a school with no such classes. Both schools were public schools, located near each other and with student bodies of similar size. The design was an equivalent pre-test post-test group design. Analyses of the data indicated that although the 2 groups had not been significantly different in the baseline measurement, the experimental group's scores on homophobia and transphobia decreased significantly compared to the control group's scores (F(2, 1336)=4.77, p<.01) after the classes on sexual diversity. No correlation was found between reported phobias and self-esteem. The data indicated that understating of diversity and equality for others by the boys in the experimental group was correlated with reported homophobia and transphobia.</p>
