Parental depression in offspring’s internalization of stigma
< .001, comparative fit index = 0.902, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.892, root-mean-square error of approximation = 0.052, standardized root-mean-square residual = 0.045. The findings underscore the complex interplay between family dynamics and individual psychological factors in shaping self-stigma. Negative family interactions (i.e., conflict, reduced parental care, and heightened parental overprotection) exacerbate low self-esteem, poor social functi…
A Qualitative Systematic Review of Stigma, Violence, Victimization, and Associated Coping Among Transgender People Engaged in Sex Work
Globally, transgender people engaged in sex work experience disproportionately high risks of victimization. While qualitative studies on the perspectives of transgender people engaged in sex work can shed light on their intersecting experiences, a qualitative synthesis could offer a systematic understanding and inform anti-oppressive practices and policies. This review explores the experience of stigma, violence, victimization, and associated cop…
LGBT+ Inclusion and Human Rights in Taiwan
Taiwan is regarded as the vanguard of LGBT+ rights in Asia. We conducted a scoping review to map research on LGBT+ inclusion in Taiwan, identify knowledge gaps and propose future directions for research and policy. Results indicate a predominant focus on health, with the over-representation of gay men and exclusion of lesbian and bisexual women and transgender/gender diverse people. Despite being the first Asian jurisdiction to legalise same-sex …
Beyond Acceptance and Rejection
We introduce a triadic caregiving model—matched care, misguided care, and withdrawn care—to complement the parental acceptance and rejection conceptualization. While the binary conceptualization captures the behavioral responses and mental health impacts of parental reactions to LGB children, parents' motivations and narratives are often overlooked. Gaining insight into these motivations can enhance engagement strategies and identify opportunitie…

Perceived stigma, internalized stigma, and mental health of young Chinese men who have sex with men living with HIV/Aids
Stigma is closely linked to mental health issues among men who have sex with men (MSM) living with HIV/AIDS. The "Undetectable = Untransmittable" (U = U) concept has been instrumental in reducing HIV/AIDS-related stigma and improving treatment adherence among people living with HIV/AIDS. However, the effect of U = U status on internalized stigma related to both HIV/AIDS and homosexual identity remains unclear. This study explores how U = U status…
Dating App Use, Self-Disclosure, and Life Satisfaction Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men
Research on the relationship between dating app use and life satisfaction has produced mixed findings. This study, based on survey data from 330 self-identified young gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (aged 18 to 34) in Taiwan, investigates how dating app use is associated with life satisfaction. Conditional process analysis found that greater self-disclosure on dating apps was directly linked to improved life satisfaction and in…
Sexual wellbeing of sexual minority men living in poverty in Hong Kong
Sexual well-being is a fundamental human right and a central aspect of human sexuality that contributes significantly to people's overall well-being. Numerous studies have explored the connections between sexual well-being and a range of shaping factors, including gender and sexual identity, family relationships, education and religious beliefs. However, only limited research has examined the interdependence between sexual well-being and poverty,…
Unraveling complexity of celebrity worship and its associations with mental health among emerging adults in China
The digital media and the celebrity-making industry have drastically fueled celebrity worship, an evolving and complex human behavior. However, existing studies seem to oversimplify celebrity worship as a continuum ranging from normal to pathological. This study addresses this gap by developing a framework to classify distinct fan types and validate them with empirical data. A nationwide online survey was conducted with 806 Chinese emerging adult…
Mentorship for young gay men in Hong Kong
This study examined whether mentorship could promote young gay men's identities and well‐being, and whether a mentor's sexual orientation matters. A randomized control trial compared outcomes across three conditions: Arm A (a mentee matched with a sexual minority mentor), Arm B (a mentee matched with a heterosexual mentor), and a control arm receiving psychoeducation only. A community sample of 60 mentees aged 18–25 years was randomly allocated t…
Parental Depression and Self-Stigma Among Chinese Young People Living With Depression
Self-stigma is detrimental to psychosocial well-being and the recovery journey among people living with depression. However, there has been limited research exploring the experience of stigma internalization when depression runs in families. This study aims to address this gap by (1) characterizing the manifestations of self-stigma among individuals living with depression whose parent(s) also have depression and (2) exploring the potential mechan…

Intersecting self-stigma among young Chinese men who have sex with men living with HIV/Aids
Young men in China who have sex with men (MSM) are disproportionately infected with HIV. While scholars have drawn attention to the intersecting stigma against individuals with multiple stigmatized identities, little is known about how HIV-positive MSM navigate stigmatized identities and cope with intersecting self-stigma. This qualitative study explored how young Chinese MSM living with HIV/AIDS respond to their stigmatized identities and develo…

Examining the demographic and psychological variables associating with the childbearing intention among gay and bisexual men in Taiwan
Equality for marriage and reproduction has become a major policy agenda worldwide. Opportunities for sexual minority individuals to pursue planned parenthood through assisted reproductive technologies, adoption or surrogacy emerged only recently. Perhaps due to socio-cultural and structural barriers, sexual minority individuals consistently report lower parenthood desires and intentions than heterosexual individuals. Using a cross-sectional onlin…

Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) Young Adults' Relational Well-Being Before and After Taiwanese Legalization of Same-Sex Marriage
In 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legalize same-sex marriage. Such an historic shift in the legal landscape toward marriage equality in Taiwan presents a timely and unique opportunity to investigate the interplay of a lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB)-affirmative policy (i.e., marriage equality) and the well-being of LGB people. Existing quantitative studies on same-sex marriage have yielded compelling evidence about its positive…
Understanding Depression from Different Paradigms
Depression is a significant mental health issue that many social workers encounter in their practice. There is great deal of theoretical and empirical knowledge concerning depression that stems from different paradigms. In this paper, we argue for the importance of understanding depression from four paradigms, post-positivism, social constructivism, critical theory and Eastern paradigm, and we illuminate how depression would be known and dealt wi…
