Subcultural desires: Attraction to twinks, jocks, and bears is associated with sexual preferences for specific body types, gender expressions, and racial groups
Sexual subcultures such as twinks, jocks, and bears have provided sexual minority men with a means of self-definition and social connection within a broader LGBTQIA+ community. The present study explores the preferences associated with attraction to these subcultures, shedding light on how these subcultural identities function as targets of attraction. Drawing on survey data from 961 sexual minority men living in Australia, we find that attractio…
Masculinity, Not Femininity, is Associated with Sexual Desirability Among Grindr Users in Australia
Whether men who have sex with men see themselves as sexy is influenced by their gender expression – that is, by their performance of masculinity and femininity. Generally, while masculine men attract others’ sexual interest, feminine men are relegated to the sexual margins. Hegemonic masculinity underpins the disproportionate value gay communities place in masculinity over femininity. Yet norms of gender expression and sexual desirability also va…
Countering the ‘monogamy-superiority’ myth: Relationship satisfaction, stigma and health education implications
Background: This discussion paper addresses the health education implications of the enduring ‘monogamy-superiority’ myth – in the form of the assumption that monogamous relationships are inherently healthier, more stable or more fulfilling than consensually non-monogamous (CNM) arrangements. Summary of Evidence: Drawing on recent evidence, we highlight how relationships and sexual satisfaction do not differ significantly between relationship str…
Bears, leathermen, drag queens, twinks, and more! A scoping review of subcultural identity groups of men who have sex with men
Subcultures are a prominent part of community life for gay, bisexual, queer, and other cisgender and trans men who have sex with men (hereafter, MSM). However, less attention has been paid to consolidating the complex and diverse literature in this space. This scoping review aimed to synthesise the empirical literature on subcultural groups of MSM to understand which (and how) subcultures have been studied. We identified 80 studies across nine da…

Predictors of burnout and resilience in individuals offering peer support within the LGBTQ+ community
LGBTQ+ individuals often turn to each other for support in coping with mental health issues. This peer-support is often needed because dedicated LGBTQ+ organisations are under-resourced and in great demand, and often LGBTQ+ people avoid mainstream health services. This study examined factors that predict burnout (i.e. emotional exhaustion and cynicism) and resilience (i.e. capacity to bounce back from stressful events) among LGBTQ+ peer support p…
A Qualitative Exploration of the Experiences of Disclosing Non-Monogamy
Non-monogamy refers to a set of relationship identities and structures that go against societal norms and expectations of “typical” relationships (i.e., monogamous heteronormative dyadic relationships). As such, non-monogamous individuals often conceal this identity and then need to engage in continuous decision-making processes regarding when and how to disclose, due in part to the structural barriers, stigma, and discrimination faced by this po…
Chronic and contextual identity salience: Assessing dual-dimensional salience with the Identity Salience Questionnaire (ISQ)
Identity Salience is a common construct within social identity research. However, researchers note that it is poorly defined and inconsistently operationalized. We posit that identity salience comprises two elements: chronic (perpetually thinking about the identity) and contextual (only thinking about the identity when prompted) salience . We present evidence for this claim through the development and validation of the dual-dimensional Identity S…
For better and worse? The divergent associations of LGBTQ+ identity importance and salience on mental ill-health in the context of discrimination
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other (LGBTQ+) individuals experience disproportionate levels of mental ill-health, with elevated levels of discrimination being a key contributor. While it is well documented that group-based discrimination is strongly related to poorer health among LGBTQ+ individuals, research also suggests that strongly identifying and/or connecting with a marginalized identity group can mediate this relationship…
Exploring the Relationships Between Body Image, Sexual Well-Being, and Community Connectedness among Gay, Bisexual and Queer+ Men
Sexual minority (SM) men are more likely than heterosexual men to experience body dissatisfaction due to prevailing body ideals (e.g. lean and muscular) within the SM community. Negative body image can have harmful effects on well-being, and, by extension, sexual well-being. The current study aimed to investigate whether SM men's minority identification and LGBTQ+ community connectedness moderates the relationship between drives for muscularity a…
Emotion regulation in everyday life: Mapping global self-reports to daily processes
Recent theory conceptualizes emotion regulation as occurring across three stages: (a) identifying the need to regulate, (b) selecting a strategy, and (c) implementing that strategy to modify emotions. Yet, measurement of emotion regulation has not kept pace with these theoretical advances. In particular, widely used global self-report questionnaires are often assumed to index people's typical strategy selection tendencies. However, it is unclear …
A Systematic and Meta-Analytic Review of Identity Centrality among LGBTQ Groups: An Assessment of Psychosocial Correlates
The degree to which an identity is an important aspect of one’s self-concept (i.e., identity centrality) relates to both health and prejudice experiences of minority groups. Individuals with greater levels of identity centrality view their world through the lens of that identity. This allows them to engage in more positive identity-relevant experiences. However, it could also heighten their perceptions of in-group threat. Among LGBTQ groups, the …
Modeling individual differences in emotion regulation repertoire in daily life with multilevel latent profile analysis
Emotion regulation (ER) repertoire-the range of different ER strategies an individual utilizes across situations-is assumed to enable more adaptive ER and greater well-being. ER repertoire has been operationalized by a quantitative index (sum of ER strategies across situations) or by applying a person-centered approach to global self-reports of dispositional ER. We aimed to assess ER repertoire in daily life by using an experience sampling method…

Exploring the relationship between gay men’s self- and meta-stereotype endorsement with well-being and self-worth
Stereotypes typically have negative impacts on stigmatized minority groups, especially when endorsed by members of that group. This paper examines the prevalence and consequences of stereotype endorsement on well-being within the gay community. Specifically, we explored how gay men’s self-stereotype (i.e., personal beliefs about the stereotypes pertaining to one’s in-group) and meta-stereotype (i.e., believing that out-group members endorse stere…
