Abstract
This study aimed to know the value correlates of motivations to respond without prejudice to homoparenthood, taking into accounts the Functional Theory of Human Values. Participants were 235 undergraduate students with age ranging from 18 to 55 years old (M = 24.0, SD = 6.82), mostly female (57%). They answered the Motivation to Respond without Prejudice to Homoparenthood Scale, the Basic Values Survey and demographic questions, being the data collected online. Multiple regressions revealed that the internal motivations to respond without prejudice were predicted by excitement, suprapersonal, interactive and normative subfunctions. On other hand, normative and excitement values explained the external motivations. In conclusion, human values can be accurate predictors for motivations to respond without prejudice toward homoparenthood, mainly those idealists, reinforcing that people who are guided by these values tend to be less prejudiced.
