ABSTRACT
Aim. The aim of the study was to analyse the perception of paternal and maternal attitudes in homosexual, bisexual and heterosexual groups. Methods. The study involved the Parental Attitude Scale developed by Plopa. The project included 177 participants; specifically, the sample comprised 39 homosexual, 15 bisexual and 31 heterosexual women, and 56 homosexual, 5 bisexual and 31 heterosexual men. Results. The study showed significant differences between homosexual and heterosexual women in their perceptions of maternal attitudes in terms of the Over-protective Attitude Scale (p=0.029), and between heterosexual and bisexual women in terms of the Autonomy Attitude Scale (p=0.036), the Over-protective Attitude Scale (p=0.004) and the Over-demanding Attitude Scale (p=0.007). There were no significant differences in the perception of maternal attitudes between homosexual and heterosexual men. The study showed significant differences in the perception of paternal attitudes in terms of the Inconsequential Attitude Scale between homosexual and bisexual women (p=0.023) and between heterosexual and bisexual women (p=0.035). There were no significant differences in the perception of paternal attitudes between homosexual and heterosexual women and between homosexual and heterosexual men.
