The article presents the results of a thematic analysis of statements about polyamory made in the media by Polish psychology and sexology experts. The analysis was conducted on the basis of 20 pieces of material released in the Polish national press, radio, and television between July 2012 and October 2018. The results show that most of the analyzed experts approach polyamory with suspicion. In most cases, the decision to be in a polyamorous relationship is assessed very negatively, and in the eyes of the therapists it is evidence of psychological defects in people who make such attempts or it is seen as a harbinger of unfavorable outcomes for the relationship. This negative psychological evaluation is often accompanied by a strong moral assessment and a clear willingness to discourage society from this relationship model. The results show that representatives of psychology and medical sciences in the Polish media support and legitimize the social and moral order that promotes mono-normativity. The true reasons for the aforementioned negative assessment are hidden behind a veil of scientific objectivity.
本文呈现了对波兰心理学和性学专家在媒体上发表的关于多元恋观点的主题分析结果。该分析基于 2012 年 7 月至 2018 年 10 月期间在波兰国家媒体、广播和电视上发布的 20 篇材料。结果表明，大多数接受分析的专家对多元恋持怀疑态度。在大多数情况下，对处于多元恋关系的决定的评估是非常负面的，在治疗师看来，这是做出此类尝试的人存在心理缺陷的证据，或者被视为关系不利结果的先兆。这种负面的心理评估通常伴随着强烈的道德评估，并明确表示希望阻止社会采用这种关系模式。结果表明，波兰媒体的心理学和医学科学代表支持和使促进单一规范性的社会和道德秩序合法化。上述负面评估的真正原因隐藏在科学客观性的面纱背后。
