SANTOS, José Victor De Oliveira  e  ARAUJO, Ludgleydson Fernandes de. Aging and internalized homophobia among Brazilian gay elderly: a study of social representations. Arq. bras. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.72, n.1, pp.93-104. ISSN 1809-5267.  https://doi.org/10.36482/1809-5267.ARBP2020v72i2p.93-104.

This study aimed at analyzing social representations of Brazilian gay men concerning male aging, homosexuality and homophobia. Ten gay elder men, at the average age of 65.7 years participated of it (SD = 3.86). To obtain the social representations, the free word association test was used, with the stimulus "male aging"; the responses were subjected to prototypical and similarity analysis with the software IRAMUTEQ. The social representations of male aging showed negative aspects, such as sadness and loneliness, and positive ones, such as health and life experience, as well as sexuality. It is expected that data can contribute to new investigations and reflections on the aging of homosexual people, bringing life quality to that group.
