Abstract

The general objective of this research study is to verify whether the morality of the audience and the characters affect the former’s psychological responses to narratives in which the characters are lesbian, especially with respect to enjoyment, appreciation and perceived realism. This study applies a quantitative methodology that provides evidence that people who are less homophobic and have more positive attitudes to the morality of homosexual women evaluate the lesbian character more favourably and enjoy the narratives more. It also offers information about how the psychological concepts of enjoyment, appreciation and perceived realism are related, and validatqes the seven different scales used in the quasi-experiment that were subjected to two types of factorial analysis: exploratory and confirmatory. Finally, it considers how the results of this study might help to understand the aforesaid phenomena, future proposals and the limitations of this research.
