Pre-screening telephone interviews identified ten individuals who matched inclusion criteria (mean age: 39 years; range 26–62 years) as part of a larger study. Interviews were semi-structured an…

The role of social and professional support seeking in trauma recovery: Lesbian, gay and bisexual experiences of crime and fears for safety
Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) people are often victims of crime, hate crime or regularly fear for personal safety. Although very few LGB people report assaults or injury to law enforcement, many more are willing to seek counselling from mental health professionals. This article provides pilot data exploring the roles of multiple protective variables in reducing trauma symptoms, including willingness to seek counselling, among a UK sample of LGB…
Coming out’, context and reason: First disclosure of sexual orientation and its consequences
For many, ‘coming out’ to family members represents a critical milestone in lesbian, gay and bisexual development. This study explores the cognitive aspects of ‘coming out’ focusing on the inductive and deductive reasoning used by the authors of 400 ‘coming out’ stories and the conditional responses that followed. Results indicated that men were more likely to use inductive reasoning than deductive when compared to women. Furthermore, among those…
I h8 u’: Findings from a five‐year study of text and email bullying
This study charts reports of nasty or threatening text and email messages received by students in academic years 7 and 8 (11–13 years of age) attending 13 secondary schools in the North of England between 2002 and 2006. Annual surveys were undertaken on behalf of the local education authority to monitor bullying. Results indicated that, over five years, the number of pupils receiving one or more nasty or threatening text messages or emails increa…
Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender youth: Victimization and its correlates in the USA and UK
Research on lesbian, gay and bisexual young people in the USA and UK has provided an important tool for advocacy and for developing appropriate public policy. Studies suggest that lesbian, gay and bisexual youth are more frequently victims of discrimination as a result of actual or perceived sexual orientation than adults, and anecdotal information suggests that transgender young people may be particularly vulnerable. During the past decade, high…
Social‐developmental factors affecting lesbian and gay youth: A review of cross‐national research findings
Lesbian and gay youth face a great many challenges as they grow up. In this article, research focusing upon the social‐developmental factors that affect the positive development of a lesbian or gay identity are reviewed, comparing and contrasting data from the United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK). Consideration is also given to the efficacy of behaviours utilised by young lesbians and gay men to avoid harassment and discrimination. It is su…
Lesbian, gay and bisexual development: Theory, research and social issues
Over the last 20 years there has been a marked increase in the number of published journal articles and books in the field of lesbian and gay psychology and psychotherapy. Much of this work has focused upon the negative effect of living as a lesbian, gay or bisexual adult in a heterosexual world. Despite our increased awareness concerning the problems lesbians, gay men and bisexuals face in society, little is understood about the process of devel…
Types of bullying behaviour and their correlates
Björkqvist, Lagerspetz, and Kaukiainen [(1992): Aggressive Behavior 18: 117–127] suggested that there are significant differences in the types of aggressive behaviour–direct physical, direct verbal, and indirect-engaged in and experienced by boys and girls of different ages. This study reports on similar age and sex differences in the types of bullying behaviour found in British schools, based on a survey of 7,000 primary and secondary school pup…
