“My Existence is Queer”
Scientific practices surrounding sexual identity are largely based upon cisheteronormative assumptions, using terms that may not resonate with − or may exclude − trans and nonbinary (TNB) individuals and their experiences. This exploratory study examined how TNB college students labeled and described their sexual identities. 212 TNB students (mean age = 20.1 ± 2.4, 68.4% White, 66.5% nonbinary) responded to an open-ended question asking them to l…

Weight control intentions may contribute to these differences, as SGM individuals experience greater body dissatisfaction and engagement in disordered eating behaviors, which may increase the likelihood of using tobacco/nicotine products for weight control.

Improving access to gender-affirming care
BACKGROUND: Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) individuals experience bias, discrimination, and heightened levels of psychological distress and suicidality compared to cisgender individuals. Gender-affirming care (GAC) is associated with decreased psychological distress among TGD individuals. Telehealth might help to address barriers TGD individuals face in accessing GAC because it enables patients to receive care in a safe, comfortable environ…
Short-Term Training in Mindfulness Predicts Helping Behavior Toward Racial Ingroup and Outgroup Members
A randomized controlled trial tested whether mindfulness training would increase lab-based and in vivo spontaneous helping behaviors toward racial outgroup members. First, across conditions, those scoring higher in baseline trait mindfulness showed higher levels of preintervention lab-based and ecological momentary assessment (EMA)-based helping behavior. Next, short-term (4-day) training in mindfulness, relative to a well-matched sham meditation…

Transgender and gender-independent individuals (TGI) encounter myriad barriers to accessing affirming healthcare. Healthcare discrimination and erasure exposure among TGI individuals is vital to understanding healthcare accessibility, utilization behaviors, and health disparities in this population. Exposure to gender identity-related healthcare discrimination and erasure in childhood may contribute to TGI adults' healthcare utilization behaviors…

To Help or To Harm? Assessing the Impact of Envy on Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors
Two studies examined how envy influences prosocial and antisocial behavior. In Experiment 1, participants in an envious state (relative to a neutral state) were less helpful: They picked up fewer dropped pencils in their immediate vicinity. We expanded upon these findings by examining how envy affected both helping and harming behavior in a competitive scenario. In Experiment 2, individuals in envious or neutral states assigned puzzle tasks to an…
