From Bullying Victimization to Sexual Coercion Victimization
The current study proposes pathways from bullying victimization to sexual coercion victimization mediated by using drugs and engaging in sex with drugs. The study sample included heterosexual or LGB youth. Measures included bullying victimization, using drugs, engaging in sex with drugs, sexual coercion victimization, and the covariates, which are sex and age. Path analyses were conducted for heterosexual and LGB adolescents. Among heterosexuals,…
Near, Far, Wherever You Are
Location sharing technologies using smartphone applications allow users to share their geolocation with each other in real time. Such sharing is a relational process that requires engagement and negotiation with another person. In the current study we use communication privacy management theory to situate our work and examine (a) with whom individuals share their location, (b) the reasons why individuals share their location, and (c) how these re…
Assessing the Factor Structure of the Farm/Ranch Stress Inventory in a Sample of LGBTQ+ Farmers Across the United States
Farmers face disproportionately high levels of stress, which has implications for their mental health and well-being. Notably, existing measures of farm stress have not attended to variations in stress based on identity-related experiences. This study investigated the factor structure of the Farm/Ranch Stress Inventory (FRSI) among LGBTQ+ farmers in the United States to see whether the factors were consistent with previous studies. We surveyed th…
The Progression of College Student Romantic Relationship Development
Romantic relationships play an important role in mental and physical health. The initiation and progression of these relationships may be particularly relevant to college students, as they experience a period of personal and social growth while presumably away from parental supervision for the first time. However, some of the more prominent models of relationship initiation and progression have not been updated to reflect recent social changes, i…
LGBTQ+ farmers’ supportive relationships and mental health outcomes
Social support is a crucial protective factor for mental health, including for farmers. Farmers’ social support has been associated with greater psychological well-being and reduced distress. However, little research has focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and/or queer (LGBTQ+) farmers and few studies have examined the role of social support for LGBTQ+ farmer mental health. The current study presents findings from analysis of survey d…
Protective factors for multiple forms of interpersonal violence experienced by adolescent Latinas
Interpersonal violence during adolescence is associated with a variety of detrimental physical and mental health outcomes. Cross-sectional data from Latinas ( n = 1087) attending 19 high schools in Colorado during the 2017-2018 school year were analyzed to capture protective factors associated with interpersonal violence victimization. The purpose of the present study is to inform the literature on the potential protective factors for multiple fo…
The temporal intersectional minority stress model
Two decades have passed since Ilan Meyer first published the minority stress theory (MST) model. Since then, scholars have used MST extensively to expand the field's understanding of LGBTQ+ populations' experiences with stress and mental health. To better represent these experiences, scholars have combined MST with other theories in empirical articles, but a theoretical model has yet to be proposed that unifies this work. In the current paper, we…

Adults and Family as Supportive of Adolescent Sexual Development in the Age of Smartphones? Exploring Cybersexual Violence Victimization, Pornography Use, and Risky Sexual Behaviors
Exploring sexual minority adults’ pathway to suicidal ideation
Introduction: We tested a moderated, serial mediation model of past-year suicidal ideation among sexual minority adults. Method: Participants (N = 198) completed an anonymous online survey. Result: The relation between internalized homophobia and past-year suicidal ideation can be partly explained by sexual orientation self-concept ambiguity and feelings of loneliness, especially among individuals who may be more likely to conceal their sexuality…
Latent Class Analysis of Victimization Patterns and Associated Protective Factors among LGBTQ Youth
Youth victimization in schools remains a fervent public health issue, despite increased awareness of this issue, and this is especially true for marginalized populations like lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) youth. Youth violence has been studied widely, but less research has sought to understand factors protective of violence victimization, particularly protective factors shared across multiple forms of violence. In the cur…
Sex or Socialization? Replicating Heterosexual Couples’ Gender Differences in the Association between Orgasm and Satisfaction in Same-Gender/Sex Couples
Orgasm is commonly considered an important aspect of sexual activity. The current study sought to replicate and extend prior work by examining gender/sex differences in the association between orgasm and satisfaction in a sample of same-gender/sex couples. We also examined how desire for an orgasm moderated this association. Although prior research found a curvilinear association between orgasm and satisfaction for heterosexual women (but not men…
Bullying victimization, psychosocial functioning, and protective factors
African American heterosexual and sexual minority (SM) adolescents report widespread bullying victimization (BV), which is associated with poorer psychosocial functioning. However, studies examining potential protective factors that moderate this association are limited. Using data from a cross‐sectional study conducted in Chicago, we examined the association between BV and psychosocial functioning among a sample of heterosexual ( n = 475) and SM…
Social-Ecological Examination of Non-Consensual Sexting Perpetration among U.S. Adolescents
Adolescent sexting is a serious public health concern and is associated with adverse psychosocial outcomes, including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, declining academic performance, and health problems. Effective prevention of sexting requires a comprehensive and deep understanding of the multiple contexts whereby sexting is likely to occur. The present study explores individual and contextual risk and protective factors that are associated…
