Abstract

Psychosocial research on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and queer (LGBTIQ+) populations from Latin America is relatively recent. Initially, research focused mainly on prejudice, using qualitative techniques. Studies on LGBTIQ+ populations, using more sophisticated psychosocial theories such as those of Herek or Meyer, began in the mid-1990s. This study deals with surveys and scales based on non-probabilistic samples, LGBTIQ+ populations being the first studied. In the early 2000s, queer and/or LGBTIQ+ theories were introduced, and research has been much more interdisciplinary. This paper describes the theoretical frameworks used in LGBTIQ+ research in Latin America and examines distinctions in the findings from Mexico, Colombia, Chile, Argentina, and Brazil. Future research must involve cross-cultural studies, systematic or scoping reviews, and studies on non-binary populations. Finally, the conditions for reimaging LGBTIQ+ research in Latin America are discussed.

拉丁美洲 LGBTIQ+ 群体的社会心理研究趋势：研究结果、挑战和关切

对拉丁美洲女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、变性人、双性人和同性恋（LGBTIQ+）人群的社会心理研究相对较晚。最初的研究主要集中在偏见方面，使用的是定性技术。对 LGBTIQ+ 群体的研究开始于 20 世纪 90 年代中期，采用了更为复杂的社会心理理论，如 Herek 或 Meyer 的理论。本研究涉及基于非概率样本的调查和量表，LGBTIQ+人群是研究的第一批对象。21 世纪初，引入了同性恋和/或 LGBTIQ+ 理论，研究更加跨学科。本文介绍了拉丁美洲 LGBTIQ+ 研究中使用的理论框架，并探讨了墨西哥、哥伦比亚、智利、阿根廷和巴西研究结果的不同之处。未来的研究必须包括跨文化研究、系统性或范围性回顾，以及对非二元人群的研究。最后，讨论了在拉丁美洲重新开展 LGBTIQ+ 研究的条件。
