Flutuações e diferenças de género no desenvolvimento da orientação sexual: Perspectivas teóricas

Joana Almeida (*)

Ana Alexandra Carvalheira (**)

 

RESUMO

Neste trabalho pretendemos realizar uma revisão teórica das principais investigações sobre transições e flutuações na orientação sexual, dando especial relevo aos estudos de Lisa Diamond sobre as transições na identidade, comportamentos e atracções. Apresentamos ainda os resultados mais relevantes relativamente às diferenças de género na orientação sexual, que atribuem maior importância a estas diferenças do que propriamente às categorias de identidade sexual decorrentes da orientação sexual.

Palavras-chave: Orientação sexual, género, flutuações

ABSTRACT

In this article we review the main research theory concerning sexual orientation, transitions and fluctuations, specially focusing on the Lisa Diamond studies on transitions between sexual identity, behaviour and attractions. Presented are also the most relevant results on gender differences in sexual orientation, which find these differences more significant than identity categories of sexual orientation.

Key words: Sexual orientation, gender, fluctuations
