Same-Sex Love and Gendered Scripts: Internalizing and Renegotiating Scripts within Family-Centered Collectivist Contexts in Suriname and the Netherlands
This study utilizes gendered social script theory to explore how same-sex love (SSL) women and men navigate cultural expectations, familial dynamics, and emotional processes after coming out. While prior research has addressed gendered heteronormative scripts, mainly in Western individualist cultures, less is known about their internalization and renegotiation within collectivist, family-centered contexts. We apply a tripartite framework, cultura…
Interventions Used in Practice to Reduce Prejudice and Stereotypes Toward Lesbian and Gay People: Theory Based Evaluation
Various interventions are used in practice to reduce prejudice against lesbian women and gay men. Often these have not been developed or evaluated for effectiveness by researchers. In this study, we used theory-based evaluation (TBE) to determine whether the assumptions underlying three types of interventions (knowledge interventions, guessing games, and theater and movie interventions) often used in practice in the Netherlands are in line with e…
De Bijbel, de homo en de klas: Welk effect heeft de interventie ‘Homo in de klas’ op de religieuze percepties rondom seksuele diversiteit bij leerlingen
We investigate the effect of the teaching method Homo in de klas (‘Gay in the class’) among pupils in Reformed secondary education on their religious perceptions of sexual diversity. The quantitative survey shows a limited increase in pupils’ knowledge of the distinction that ‘according to the Bible someone may be gay, but should not act on it.’ The in-depth interviews with pupils and teachers suggest that the teaching method makes pupils more aw…
Surinamese–Hindustani Same-Sex Love Individuals: Coping with Negative Responses from Parents in a Collectivistic Culture
How do people cope with homonegative responses from their family within a collectivistic culture? This study examines Surinamese–Hindustani same-sex love individuals and identifies a gap in the literature about same-sex love (SSL) individuals coping styles in collectivistic cultures. In Surinamese–Hindustani culture the self is interwoven with and inseparable from the family and family honour is considered extremely important. This study is part …
Ethnic Minority Health and Employment: Ethnic Differences in the Protective Effect of Close Social Ties
Narratives of meaningful endurance – how migrant women escape the vicious cycle between health problems and unemployment
Migrant women in Europe have a higher incidence of health problems and have disproportionately high unemployment rates. We examine how Dutch and Turkish, Moroccan and Surinamese first and second generation migrant women escape the vicious cycle between health problems and unemployment by using the theory of the Sense of Coherence (SOC). We study how SOC works and whether SOC is also applicable outside the domain of health. Our findings from life …
Labeling Same-Sex Sexuality in a Tolerant Society That Values Normality: The Dutch Case
Studies have pointed to a trend in Western societies toward the normalization of homosexuality and emerging "post-gayness" among young people, who no longer consider their sexual identity meaningful in defining themselves. This article takes a closer look at the Dutch case where tolerance is regarded as a national virtue, while society remains heteronormative. In 38 interviews with Dutch same-sex-attracted young people, we investigated the labels…
Towards Bi-Inclusive Policies: Suggestions Based on Research on Dutch Same-Sex Attracted Young People
Dutch national LGBT policies are not bi-inclusive and this study provides suggestions for improvement, based on empirical research. Attention for bisexuality in policy appears simply to pay lip service and to endorse the construction of sexual orientation as a hetero/homo binary. The outcomes of our survey ( n = 1449) and in-depth interviews ( n = 38) of Dutch same-sex attracted young people suggest that special attention for bisexual people is w…
A Comparative Analysis of a Community and General Sample of Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Individuals
The Importance of Gender and Gender Nonconformity for Same-Sex-Attracted Dutch Youth's Perceived Experiences of Victimization Across Social Contexts
In this survey study, the impact of gender and gender nonconformity on Dutch same-sex-attracted youth's perceived experiences of same-sex sexuality-related victimization was systematically compared across social contexts. Participants were between ages 16 and 18 and enrolled in secondary education (n = 305). In contexts of school and strangers, boys and participants reporting more gender nonconformity reported more perceived experiences of victim…
Victimization and Suicidality Among Dutch Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Youths
We examined Netherlands Institute for Social Research data, collected between May and August 2009, on 274 Dutch lesbian, gay, and bisexual youths. The data showed that victimization at school was associated with suicidal ideation and actual suicide attempts. Homophobic rejection by parents was also associated with actual suicide attempts. Suicidality in this population could be reduced by supporting coping strategies of lesbian, gay, and bisexual…
A matter of culture and cost? A comparison of the employment decisions made by mothers with a lower, intermediate and higher level of education in the Netherlands
This article is focused on financial-economic and socio-cultural factors in explaining differences in labour participation and working hours of Dutch mothers with diverging educational levels. The data used are taken from a survey held among approximately 1700 women in the Netherlands from two-parent households with children up to 12 years old. The models for participation and working hours are simultaneously estimated for different levels of edu…
Multiple Dimensions of Attitudes About Homosexuality: Development of a Multifaceted Scale Measuring Attitudes Toward Homosexuality
Attitudes toward homosexuality are complex. To get a comprehensive view on the attitudes of people, different dimensions need to be included in research. Based on a review of the literature, we distinguish five dimensions: acceptance of homosexuality in a general sense; attitude toward equal rights; reactions to homosexuality "at close quarters"; reactions to homosexuality in public; and so-called modern homonegativity. In a study on a representa…
