Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who are...
Forced Transdifferentiation01:28

Forced Transdifferentiation

Transdifferentiation, also known as lineage reprogramming, was first discovered by Selman and Kafatos in 1974 in silkmoths. They observed that the moths’ cuticle-producing cells transformed into salt-producing cells. Many such cases of natural transdifferentiation occur in organisms. In humans, pancreatic alpha cells can become beta cells. In newts, the loss of the eye’s lens causes the pigmented epithelial cells to transdifferentiate into the lens cells.
Artificial transdifferentiation occurs...
Mate Choice01:20

Mate Choice

Mate choice—the decision about whom to mate with—is a type of natural selection, since animals must reproduce to pass down their genes. Mate choice is also called intersexual selection because the behavior occurs between the sexes.
Sex Linked Disorders01:43

Sex Linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Ethnic Identity within a Larger Culture

Adolescents from ethnic minority backgrounds face a multifaceted journey in forming their identities, shaped by the intersections of cultural expectations and personal exploration. For these adolescents, identity formation involves not only typical developmental challenges but also navigating the perceptions and attitudes of the majority culture. As they grow, adolescents in ethnic minority groups often become increasingly aware of stereotypes, social biases, and discrimination, all of which...

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Human Sexuality Research

Background:

  • Self-reports of sexual orientation change are often oversimplified.
  • Existing reactions fail to address the complexity of sexual reorientation.
  • Understanding sexual reorientation is crucial for human sexuality research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of sexual reorientation efforts and their underlying assumptions.
  • To critically evaluate conclusions and limitations of existing sexual reorientation studies.
  • To propose a multivariate model of sexuality and a therapeutic framework.

Main Methods:

  • Historical review of interventions for changing same-sex attractions.
  • Analysis of conclusions and limitations in sexual reorientation research.
  • Development of a multivariate model of sexuality and a therapeutic framework.

Main Results:

  • Sexual reorientation is a complex phenomenon not fully captured by current discourse.
  • Existing studies on sexual reorientation have significant limitations.
  • A need exists for a nuanced understanding of motivations and a structured therapeutic approach.

Conclusions:

  • Sexual reorientation research requires methodological strengthening.
  • A multivariate model of sexuality can better explain individual differences.
  • A therapeutic framework is proposed for individuals distressed by their sexual orientation.
