The belonging with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning communities scale
Development and psychometric evaluation of the transgender and nonbinary People of Color Resilience Scale
Development and validation of the LGBTQ+ People of ColorMicroaggressions Scale–2 (LGBTQ+ PCMS-2)
The LGBTQ+ PCMS-2 can better account for mental health problems when tested against the current leading measure of intersectional microaggressions. Three key strengths of the LGBTQ+ PCMS-2 include the following: (a) It is the only intersectional microaggressions measure currently available to include all three forms of microaggressions faced by LGBTQ+ people of color (racism, heterosexism, and cissexism), (b) it introduces three novel domains of …
The Queer and Trans Black, Indigenous, and People of Color resilience measure
The QT-BIPOC RM scale is introduced as a novel measure of resilience and resistance for QT-BIPOC. Our measure redefines resilience by challenging Eurocentric, individualistic frameworks and highlighting how QT-BIPOC resist intersectional oppression through self-preservation, collective healing, and the creation of empowering identity-based narratives.

Development and validation of the Internalized Stigma Among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning People Scale
Transforming Queer Mixed Methods Research to be Trans and Nonbinary-Inclusive
This paper describes an aspect of a larger research project using mixed methods to develop a transgender resilience measure. We highlight how our approach “queers” mixed methods research. We center transgender and nonbinary (TNB) voices throughout our research process, disrupting conventional scale development methods and ultimately (trans)forming traditional conceptualizations of resilience, which emphasize individual recovery from adversity. Hi…
When connecting with LGBTQ+ communities helps and why it does
Development and validation of the nonbinary distal minority stressors, proximal minority stressors, and resilience scales
The Partner Affirmation of Transgender Identity Scale
Sexual orientation and gender diversity research manuscript writing guide
Research on 2SLGBTQIA+ people is relatively new and often marginalized within the field, which can make it hard for researchers to learn how to do this research. We thus wrote this article as a way to provide support and direction for researchers, mentors, reviewers, and journal editors. Rather than providing hard-and-fast rules for how to write about 2SLGBTQIA+ topics, we hope to encourage researchers to be thoughtful and to ensure they keep the…
The relational health indices–community as a measure of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community connectedness
Internalized Heterosexism and Psychological Distress
This study examined the influences of internalized heterosexism (IH) and LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) community connectedness on distress by testing two competing hypotheses: the connectedness as a form of coping hypothesis and the connectedness as an explanatory process hypothesis. These hypotheses were tested with a random intercept cross-lagged panel model using a three-wave archival longitudinal dataset with a nationall…
Development and Validation of the Sexual Minority and Religious Identity Integration (SMRII) Scale
Despite the psychosocial strain of homonegative religious attitudes, many people with minoritized sexual identities also hold religious identities and benefit from integrating their sexual minority and religious identities. However, for research and clinical practice to advance, a reliable and valid measure of sexual and religious identity integration is needed. The present study reports on the development and validation of the Sexual Minority an…
Development and Initial Validation of Scales for Coming Out Vigilance and Positive Coming Out Responses
The Impact of Changes in Religion on Health Among Sexual Minority Mormons
The current study presents data from the first longitudinal examination of sexual minority (SM) Mormons (n = 132). Over the course of 2 years, SM Mormons reported decreased psychological (e.g., orthodox beliefs), behavioral (e.g., service attendance), and social (interpersonal religious commitment) religiousness. Analyses revealed that, at baseline, service attendance was related to lower levels of meaning in life and higher levels of depression …
Development and validation of the LGBTQ+ POC Microaggressions Scale—Brief (LGBTQ+ PCMS-B)
Emotion-focused coping strategies as mediators of the discrimination–mental health association among LGB POC
Internalized Heterosexism and Substance Use
Sexual minority individuals report greater rates of substance use compared to their heterosexual counterparts. Internalized heterosexism (IH) is one critical factor underlying this disparity. There has been a proliferation of studies examining IH as a correlate of substance use; however, results of these studies have been mixed. The purpose of the current multilevel meta-analysis was to explain these mixed findings by identifying factors that mod…
How do religious congregations affect congregants’ attitudes toward lesbian women and gay men
Using a stratified random sample of 338 participants nested in 20 congregations within 3 denominations, we examined the relationship between religious service attendance, affirmation of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) identities, their interaction, and attitudes toward lesbian women and gay men (ATLG) to better understand the potential role that congregational-level variables may play in the formation of ATLG. Hierarchical linear models …
Assessing the Internalized Homophobia Scale for Gender Invariance
The original and revised versions of the Internalized Homophobia Scale (IHP) were examined for gender invariance. The revised version was found to have a better fit, and passed the test of configural, metric, and scalar invariance. The revised version is recommended as a brief measure of internalized heterosexism
Homonegativity and the Black Church
The Black church in the United States has historically functioned as a bastion for civil rights; however, it may also be a source of pain and suffering for sexual minorities. To examine the influence of individual and congregational variables on attitudes toward same-sex sexuality in the Black church, we collected a sample of 219 participants from 15 randomly selected congregations. Results of three hierarchical linear models indicated that congr…
A Meta-Analysis of the Relationship Between Internalized Racial Oppression and Health-Related Outcomes
Internalized racism represents a critical component of the system of racial oppression wherein People of Color adopt the negative beliefs about their race held by members of the White majority group. In this meta-analysis, the authors reviewed 29 studies (32 effect sizes) on the relationships between internalized racism and negative physical and mental health outcomes published between 1999 and 2015 and tested for literature-driven moderator effe…
