Homophobia is seen all over the world and it may lead to aggressive behavior towards individuals with different sexual orientations. In this study, it is aimed to examine the mediator effect of sexism and defense style in the relationship between homophobia and aggression.
281 students from Tekirdağ Namık Kemal and İstanbul Aydın University are included in the study. The participants filled out the Demographic Information Form, Hudson-Ricketts Homophobia Scale, Defense Style Questionnaire, Ambivalent Sexism Inventory and Aggression Questionnaire.
It was found that as homophobia level increased, sexism, neurotic and immature defense style increased. In addition, the relationship between homophobia and aggression was mediated by neurotic defenses and hostile sexism. Moreover, it was found that immature defense styles have a significant positive relationship with aggression.
The findings of the study suggest that homophobia is related to aggression and this relationship coincides with other findings in the literature. However, it is seen that there are findings that coincide with the literature on the mediator effect of sexism and defense styles in the relationship between homophobia and aggression.
恐同现象在世界各地都有出现，它可能导致对不同性取向个体的攻击行为。在本研究中，旨在探讨性别歧视和防御方式在恐同与攻击行为关系中的中介作用。
来自泰基尔达省纳米克·凯末尔大学和伊斯坦布尔艾登大学的281名学生参与了本研究。参与者填写了人口统计学信息表、哈德逊-里基茨恐同量表、防御方式问卷、矛盾性别歧视量表和攻击问卷。
研究发现，随着恐同程度的增加，性别歧视、神经质和不成熟防御方式也会增加。此外，恐同与攻击行为之间的关系由神经质防御和敌意性别歧视介导。而且，研究发现不成熟防御方式与攻击行为之间存在显著正相关。
该研究结果表明，恐同与攻击行为有关，这一关系与文献中的其他研究结果一致。然而，可以看到，关于性别歧视和防御方式在恐同与攻击行为关系中的中介作用，也有与文献相符的研究结果。
