GAYDAR: VISUAL TECTN OF SEXUAL ORIENTATN AMONG GAY AND STRAIGHT MEN

People talk about ‘gaydar’ as the abily to terme whether someone is gay based on their tun about the person.

The wi-rangg fdgs suggt that gaydar n potentially pick up on everythg om one’s looks to movements to speech patterns. In fact, when people are asked to thk refully before makg a sexualy judgment, gaydar actually be ls accurate. For stance, people who hold anti-gay views typilly perform worse gaydar studi; by ntrast, sexual mori and people who have more faiary.

GAY RADAR, KEMAMPUAN MENTEKSI ORIENTASI SEKSUAL SEORANG

In a particularly fascatg study, rearchers found that women’s gaydar was more accurate when they were ovulatg than when they weren’t. Put another way, when women are at peak fertily, their abily to distguish men who are gay om those who are straight appears to improve. Most studi of gaydar volve askg people to make eher/or judgments: is this person gay or is this person straight?

Also, when people are given the opportuny to gus a target’s sexualy on a spectm—a la the classic Ksey Sle—rather than makg eher/or cisns, gay and bisexual persons tend to be given pretty siar ratgs.

This suggts that gaydar really only distguish heterosexual om non-heterosexual, meang don’t necsarily help when to makg more fe-graed termatns. Overall, gaydar helps people make sexual orientatn ferenc that are better than chance gusg; however, they are far om perfect. Most gaydar studi are set up so that participants would be rrect 50% of the time were they to rely on chance gusg.

Bottom le: The rearch nducted to date suggts that there is somethg to the ia of gaydar that people appear able to tuively terme others’ sexualy at levels greater than chance rponse to a variety of cu. At the same time, though, gaydar is clearly an imperfect tool, and one that don’t necsarily appear sensive to the wi spectm of sexuali that exist. Currently, Amerin gay people believe they have a unique abily to pick each other out a crowd (often termed "gaydar" ["gay" + "radar"]).

To tt for the prence of this abily gay men, the rearcher asked self-intified gay and straight male participants to view a seri of unfaiar men on viotape and terme the sexual orientatn of each. The higher overall accuracy of gay men monstrated a trend level difference om their straight horts although fallg short (primarily due to small sample size) of the p < 0. A theory for the emergence of this skill (termed "Adaptive Gaydar" by the thor) as a unique perceptual abily/pg mechanism uique among gay people is also prented.

GAYDAR: DO YOU HAVE IT?

Implic and explic measur of sexual orientatn attus: group preferenc and related behavrs and beliefs among gay and straight men. Hasilnya, 65 persen partisipan dapat mengintifikasi lbian/wana normal dan 57 persen partisipan dapat mengintifikasi gay/pria normal dari ke-96 foto tersebut. Kemuanya juga tidak meiki bekas la, janggut, kumis atpun bekas ketika wajah-wajah tersebut dampilkan dalam kondisi terbalik, akurasi intifikasi yang dilakan partisipan menun menjadi 61 persen unt lbian/wana normal dan 53 persen unt gay/pria normal.

Namun, tgkat akurasi u masih lebih tggi daripada intifikasi yang dilakan sera kebetulan saja, kata yang dipublikasikan di jurnal PLoS One i menunjkan bahwa banyak orang yang sera sadar membuat pembedaan terhadap homoseksual dan orang normal. Informasi semam i pun akan tes dihadapkan pada ka dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, " tambahnya seperti dirilis dari Health24, Mggu (20/5/2012) mengaku temuan i menantang teori bahwa jika orang-orang merahasiakan orientasi seksualnya maka diskrimasi terhadap homoseksual, lbian dan biseksual takkan pernah ada. Menutnya, argumen i jt dibuat oleh orang-orang yang tak setuju ngan kebijakan anti-diskrimasi bagi kelompok begu, Tabak tak meneman alasan mengapa beberapa orang meiki "radar gay" yang lebih baik dari lanya.

THE TTH ABOUT ‘GAYDAR’

Tabak hanya menduga bahwa "orang-orang dari generasi yang lebih tua at kultur yang berbeda bisa saja tumbuh wasa tanpa pernah berteraksi ngan gay" sehgga kurang akurat dalam mengintifikasi gay at orang normal. Those who have the abily to divi the world to gay and non-gay are said to have gaydar, and you need not be gay to have .

'I WAS SHOCKED WAS SO EASY': ​MEET THE PROFSOR WHO SAYS FACIAL REGNN ​​N TELL IF YOU'RE GAY

If you’re gay, then mak sense why you might want to know (support, romantic or sex partner, muny), but if you’re not, then ’s anyone’s gus. Why we want or need to know who’s gay—to repulse , to igne cursy, not to marry one, to jo them—is not the issue this post. In one of the bt overviews of gaydar basics, Nicholas Rule and Rav Alaei simply state that we “rely on a variety of subtle cu that gui judgment and behavr, ” even whout nscly realizg what we are dog or what we are relyg on.

IS ‘GAYDAR’ REALLY A THG?

Rule and others, participants tegorized male fac as straight or gay better than chance (above 60% rather than a 50% chance level), even when the viewg time was merely one-twentieth of a send, fac didn’t differ emotnal exprsns, and hairstyl were cropped out. From the evince, many of the judgments were ma (whether nscly or not) based on a genr versn prciple—gay men as femized and lbians as masculized.

GAY RADAR

For example, varyg om straight men, rearch shows that gay men have shorter nos, smaller nostrils and, varyg om straight women, lbians have thicker mouths and unrb. I n’t answer this qutn, and ’s a difficult one to terme bee we don’t know what means to rec “random” gays and lbians, pecially bee many might not intify as such (e. G., not aware they’re gay, are not sufficiently out to participate gay rearch, or don’t want to give their data).

GAYDAR—SENDG MIXED SIGNALS

For example, the gay photographs ed gaydar rearch are taken om “out” dividuals (on datg webs, Facebook, Craigslist).

We know that men who ncealed their homosexualy were perceived by strangers as more likely to be straight (Tskhay & Rule, onle). One clear answer is that gaydar affects employers’ cisns regardg who to hire, nsistent wh the stereotyp they have regardg who performs bt at that profsn (e. I jt download Krista Burton’s article, “Hipsters Broke My Gaydar” (), which qutns the accuracy of her gaydar now that hipsters have taken over queerns.

TT YOUR GAYDAR

Stereotyp often fluence the imprsns, whether ’s that a black man is dangero, a woman won’t be a good lear or a fashnable man is gay.

CARL NASSIB, FIRST OPENLY GAY NFL PLAYER, TO BE RELEASED BY RAIRS

“Gaydar” (a portmante of “gay” and “radar”) is a term that first appeared the 1980s and refers to a “sixth sense” for intifyg who is gay. While many people believe stereotypg is wrong, llg “gaydar” merely provis a ver for g stereotypil tras – like someone’s fashn sense, profsn or hairstyle – to jump to nclns about someone beg gay.

Nohels, some rearchers have published studi that, at first glance, appear to show that people have accurate gaydar.

In some recent work, my lleagu and I have been able to monstrate how the perpetuatn of the gaydar myth has untend negative nsequenc. My lleagu and I spected that even people who would normally try to rea om stereotypg might be more likely to e gay stereotyp if they are led to believe they have gaydar.

We told some participants that scientific evince says gaydar was a real abily, led others to believe that gaydar is jt another term for stereotypg and said nothg about gaydar to a third group (the ntrol).
