When being different becomes the norm
This project is currently running within the research pillar Belonging of the Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 strategic theme Dynamics of Youth.
Title:
When being different becomes the norm: the impact of micro-aggression on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender adolescents in the Netherlands.
Summary:
In recent years, there has been much research into the impact of violence and aggression on the well-being of young lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people. In these studies, we intend to look at less obvious forms of rejection and discrimination, such as exclusion or annoying jokes.
From the perspective of Developmental Psychology and Gender Studies, we will explore micro-aggression on the part of friends, classmates and media experienced among young LGBT people aged 16 to 22.
