Analysis

The HQ is a tool designed to explore and record attitudes, beliefs, and experiences related to heterosexuality. The questionnaire is often used to examine the social and cultural prejudices or attitudes that exist toward heterosexual relationships and the perceptions surrounding heterosexuality compared to other sexual orientations.

Purpose

The main purpose of the HQ is to:
Assess attitudes and beliefs about heterosexuality: Measure individuals’ attitudes toward heterosexual relationships and behaviors, and record their perceptions.
Explore social and cultural prejudices: Examine how social and cultural biases influence the perception of heterosexuality.
Support awareness and education: Provide data that can be used to raise awareness and educate about sexual orientations and prejudices.

Calibration

The calibration of the HQ includes:
Categorization of Responses: Participants answer questions related to their views and attitudes toward heterosexuality, using agreement scales or other measurement methods.
Total Score: A total score is calculated that reflects attitudes and beliefs about heterosexuality. Higher scores may indicate stronger beliefs or prejudices.
Analysis of Results: The relationship between attitudes and other parameters, such as social influences, cultural factors, and personal experiences, is examined.
