From Interpersonal Experiences to Proximal Minority Processes and Mental Health
Objective: Sexual minorities (SMs) include monosexual, bi + individuals, and a spectrum of asexual sexual orientations. They encounter challenges that can significantly impact their mental health. Integrative models incorporate several different factors to provide an explanation for mental health issues. These factors include stigma, evolutionary dimensions, distal and proximal processes, and inter- and intrapersonal experiences over time. This s…
(Self)tainted love
Sexual Minoritized (SM) people are reported to experience higher levels of psychopathology when compared to heterosexual individuals. Minority Stress Theory and Psychological Mediation Framework suggest that exposure to minority stress is responsible for this disparity. Shame is also a known risk factor for psychopathology. This study aims to test the indirect effect of discrimination on psychopathology through internalized stigma, shame, and sel…
Everyday Discrimination Scale
Perceived everyday discrimination is a transversal phenomenon with a negative impact on people’s health. This study aimed to explore the factor structure and psychometric properties of three versions of the Everyday Discrimination Scale , with three different samples: the European Portuguese validation (EDS-PT, considering any reason for discrimination), using a sample of adults from the community ( N = 610), a specific version for sexual minorit…

Improvements in Compassion and Fears of Compassion throughout the Covid-19 Pandemic
During large-scale disasters, social support, caring behaviours, and compassion are shown to protect against poor mental health outcomes. This multi-national study aimed to assess the fluctuations in compassion over time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Respondents (Time 1 n = 4156, Time 2 n = 980, Time 3 n = 825) from 23 countries completed online self-report questionnaires measuring the flows of compassion (i.e., Compassionate Engagement and Actio…
Stigma Consciousness Questionnaire (SCQ-PT)
Shame-Based Experiences of Homophobic Bullying and Mental Health
Homophobic experiences with traumatic characteristics related to shame are more frequent among sexual minority (SM) than heterosexual individuals. Concurrently, SM individuals present higher levels of psychopathology and transdiagnostic processes (e.g., shame) than heterosexual individuals. Self-compassion has been identified as a protective mechanism that counteracts the effects of shame. The current study aimed to analyse which components of se…
Unveiling the heart of young offenders
I Do Not Like Being Me”
Background Increased risky sexual behaviors (RSB) in sexual minority people relative to heterosexual individuals are well documented. However, the role of trans-diagnostic factors that are not sexual orientation-specific, such as self-criticism, in predicting RSB was understudied. The present study aimed to test participants’ gender and sexual orientation as moderators between self-criticism and RSB. Methods Data were collected during 2019. The t…
Factor Structure of the Self-Compassion Scale in 11 International Samples
In this study, different factor analysis models were employed to test the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) in 11 distinct populations (n = 15,266) in different countries. The results strongly suggest that the most appropriate use of the SCS is to measure levels of Self-Compassionate responding (positive items) and Self-Uncompassionate responding (negative items) separately
I Embrace My LGB Identity
Protection or Vulnerability? A Meta‐Analysis of the Relations Between the Positive and Negative Components of Self‐Compassion and Psychopathology
Self‐compassion is increasingly explored as a protective factor in relation to psychopathology. The Self‐Compassion Scale (SCS) and its Short Form variant (SCS‐SF) are the most widely used instruments for measuring this psychological construct, and previous studies have indeed shown that the total score of this scale is negatively associated with psychopathology. In this article, we point out that half of the items of the SCS and SCS‐SF are posit…

The impact of gratitude on depression and anxiety
Gratitude significantly predicts less depression and anxiety symptoms in general population. Three types of self-relating processes as possible mediators of this relationship were evaluated. Trait gratitude, depression, anxiety, and three forms of self-relating (criticizing, attacking, and reassuring the self) were assessed in 410 Italian participants. Gratitude predicted less depression and anxiety symptoms, and the three forms of self-relating …
