Heterosexual Professional Counselors' Attitudes toward Lesbians and Gay Men: A Brief Social Issues Intervention | Chapter 8 | Recent Trends in Arts and Social Studies Vol. 6

 This all-inclusive experimental study checked the amenability of attitudes toward gay and gay (L.G.) things by heterosexual licensed professional counselors (LPCs) following in position or time exposure to a brief interference raising friendly issues awareness. The social intelligent theory (SCT), that holds that value judgments help to shape a person's theories and motives, dressed as the theoretical basis for this investigation. The general public for this study consisted of LPCs across the country with its own government. The target population for this study involved LPCs from ACA, American Mental Health Counselors Association (AMHCA), Counselor Education and Supervision Network (CESNET) Listserv, SurveyMonkey target hearing paid aid, Facebook, and LinkedIn. The sample consisted of 142 LPCs recruited from professional arrangings, listservs, and social publishing nationwide, evenly detached between an exploratory and a control group. Participants from the experimental group were qualified using the Social Issues Advocacy Scale. The study hypothesized that LPCs unprotected to a brief intervention lifting social issues awareness would have better amenability of stances toward L.G. individuals compared to LPCs the one were not exposed to the mediation. Findings also revealed no statistically significant difference in scores on the survey, as the method of the experimental (M=38.5) and the control (M=37.94) groups clashed by less than one point. According to the SCT, the partners in this study were cued to assess their self-productiveness, personal standards, expertise, and ambitions following in position or time being briefly exposed to friendly issues or by the tool itself. This process prompted ruling class to respond to how they sensed at the time or by virtue of what they would prefer to feel in the ideal scenario for upgraded acceptance of their stances. The findings submitted that a brief intervention for raising public issues awareness can not be adequate in changing the stances of LPCs about L.G. individuals. This study acted not assess stances toward other sexual youths or attitudes of heterosexual LPCs inexperienced with professional organizations, so these wait areas for future survey.
