The State of LGBQ+ Support
Introduction While a growing body of literature has sought to understand factors connected to LGBQ+ acceptance and support by religious individuals , these factors remain understudied in religious leaders . Extant findings on LGBQ+ support among non-religious and even religious individuals may not directly apply to religious leaders, given the leaders’ unique roles as religious and spiritual authorities. Methods Using a nationally representative …
Sexual Attraction and Perceived Relational Insecurity in Sexual Minorities of Mixed Orientation Marriages
Mixed-orientation marriages, where partners have differing sexual orientations, remain understudied despite their unique relational dynamics. This study examined relationships between sexual attraction and relational insecurity in 113 sexual minority individuals in mixed-orientation marriages, investigating whether religiousness served as a protective or risk factor. Results showed that same-sex attraction is linked to relational anxiety, while o…
Linking the religious and social environment to sexual minority mental health
In the United States, mental health disparities persist between sexual minorities – people who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or other nonheterosexual identifications – and heterosexuals. Although research shows that structural stigma in one's environment may contribute to such disparities, little research has examined religious environment as a source of structural stigma for sexual minorities. Given historic and ongoing religious‐based sex…
Patterns of Christian Nationalist Engagement and Connections to Spirituality
Despite the increasing prominence of Christian nationalism within the United States and its associations with anti-democratic attitudes and racial bias, little is known about how emerging religious/spiritual (R/S) leaders engage with Christian nationalism. Moreover, while extant research has thus far examined demographic and political associations with Christian nationalism, the present study attempted to understand how emerging R/S leaders pursu…
Contrasting Experiences
Despite female religious leaders' substantial historic and ongoing contributions worldwide, their experiences remain poorly understood in male-normative contexts, especially from an empirical perspective. This lack of understanding leads institutions to overlook heterogeneity and perpetuate male-normed formative experiences, with virtually no empirical studies investigating gender differences among religious leaders, particularly regarding mental…
Mitigating the Impact of Religiously Based Family Expectations on Depression Among Sexual and Gender Minorities
Although it is clear that religious beliefs can motivate family rejection among sexual and gender minorities (SGMs), ultimately harming their mental health, researchers have not examined the direct link between religiously based family expectations and mental health. In the present study, we first developed the Religiously Based Family Expectations Scale. The scale demonstrated good reliability and factor structure. It evidenced convergent and di…
How does religiousness influence health among sexual and gender minorities? Evaluating the propositions of the religious/spiritual stress and resilience model
Pilot Study on the Physio-psychological Effects of Botanical Gardens on the Prefrontal Cortex Activity in an Adult Male Group
Background and objective: With modern lifestyles and the increasing severity of stress-related diseases, the availability and accessibility of the natural environment are critical. Botanical gardens in an urban area can provide opportunities for city dwellers to experience nature and enjoy stress-reducing activities. This study focused on the health-related effects of botanical gardens by investigating prefrontal cortical activity and changes in …
