Resumen

The objective of the study was to know the attitudes towards sexual diversity in academic settings of two public universities: La Rioja Argentina and the National University of the Center of Peru. The characteristics of attitudes towards peripheral sexualities in students from both universities were compared. The research was developed under a quantitative, observational, prospective, and cross-sectional approach, exploratory, descriptive-relational, with community design, since the unit of study is the population and an exploration with multiple comparisons is given. The population was constituted by 150 students of the professional careers of Social Work in both universities. The results show favorable trends towards positive attitudes towards LGBTI+ people, with significant differences in the cognitive and behavioral dimensions, according to the university. A significant relationship was also found between attitudes with religion and the gender of the students.
