Abstract(s)
O presente estudo teve como objetivos averiguar quais as crenças e expetativas de
estudantes finalistas de psicologia relativamente à intervenção psicológica a realizar com a
população LGBT+, tendo como objetivos específicos descrever a formação obtida nestas
temáticas e importância atribuída à mesma, bem como explorar as crenças das pessoas
participantes face às minorias sexuais e de género. Para tal, foram realizadas entrevistas a 33
estudantes de diversos mestrados de psicologia com idades compreendidas entre os 22 e 44
anos de idade. As pessoas participantes foram recrutadas por via de redes sociais e redes de
contacto do investigador, tendo as entrevistas sido realizadas presencialmente e online, através
da plataforma Zoom. Os resultados foram analisados segundo o método da análise de conteúdo,
tendo-se identificado quatro categorias principais: (1) Crenças Cognitivo/Afetivas; (2) Estigma
Sexual, (3) Formação em temáticas LGBT; (4) Intervenção Psicológica com Pessoas LGBT+.
Verificou-se a crença consistente das pessoas LGBT+ continuarem a sofrer discriminação em
diversos contextos e aos efeitos adversos desta na sua saúde mental. Os/as/es participantes
relataram uma quase inexistência de contacto com informação científica sobre diversidade
sexual e de género, resultados que poderão explicar parcialmente as suas atitudes e expetativas
em relação à intervenção psicológica a realizar com esta população. As implicações deste
estudo remetem para a necessidade de formação de futuros/as profissionais acerca de práticas
adequadas à população LGBT+ e para a importância da inclusão destas temáticas nos currículos
académicos de psicologia.

To this end, interviews were conducted with 33 students from different master’s degree within the psychology field aged between 22 and 44 years old. Participants were recruited via social networks and the researcher’s contact network, with the interviews being carried out in person and online, through Zoom platform. The results were analyzed using the content analysis method, leading to the identification of four categories: (1) Cognitive/Affective Beliefs; (2) Sexual Stigma; (3) Training on LGBT+ Topics; and (4), Psychological Intervention with LGBT+ People. There was a consistent belief that LGBT+ people continue to suffer discrimination in different contexts and its adverse effects on their mental health. Participants reported having almost no contact with scientific information about sexual and gender diversity, results that could partially explain their attitudes and expectations regarding the psychological intervention to be carried out with this population. The implications of this study point to the need for training future professionals on practices suitable for the LGBT+ population and to the importance of including these themes in academic psychology curriculums.
