  • Racial differences in mental health among sexual and gender minority individuals

    Mika Sevilla Morales, Charlie Giraud et al.ARTICLEPsychology and Sexuality2026References: 13

    Despite facing more stressors due to racism and structural inequities, racial minority Americans report less depression and anxiety than White Americans, perhaps reflecting greater resilience. We explored whether this racial paradox is also present among sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals, who, regardless of race, are at risk for mental health issues due to stigma against their SGM identity. We also tested whether group differences in m…

  • Navigating a Romantic Partner's Gender Transition

    Open AccessCharlie Giraud, Jamie Hardy‐Besaw et al.ARTICLEFamily Process2025

    Transgender adults undergoing medical transition often rely on their romantic partner (RP) for support, yet partners may face challenges in providing support. Family resilience theory suggests that RPs may draw on resilience strategies to overcome the challenges faced during medical transition. Despite their important role, little research has explored RPs' experiences during a partner's medical gender transition. Semi‐structured interviews were …

    Emily A Devlin, Charlie Giraud et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Sex Research2025References: 9

    Asexual individuals may navigate unique identity management challenges, given societal misunderstanding and invisibility of asexuality. This study investigated identity disclosure and concealment among asexual individuals using strategic outness theory as a guiding framework. Fourteen asexual young adults aged 18 to 30 (n = 14; 6 men, 3 women, 4 nonbinary individuals, and 1 transgender man; M age = 24.50, SD = 2.88) were interviewed to explore th…

  • Attributions and Relationship Satisfaction in an Arab American Population

    Open AccessMichelle T Leonard, Aamina Rehman et al.ARTICLEGenealogy2024References: 5

    There has been a lack of research on the Arab American population despite a noted increase in divorce and marital discord among Arabs and Arab American couples. Moreover, knowledge is limited on ways to enhance existing couple-based treatments to become more sensitive toward the unique intersection that Arab American couples are faced with. One consideration when improving treatment is to examine and better understand the negative attributions Ar…

  • Prospective effects of resilience on mental health among sexual and gender minority young people

    Charlie Giraud, Michael E Newcomb et al.ARTICLEPsychology and Sexuality2024Cited by: 1References: 12

    Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals who are assigned-female-at-birth (i.e., sexual minority women, transgender men, and gender diverse individuals [SMWTGD]) experience an increased risk for negative mental health outcomes due to minority stress related to their minoritized identity. One proposed protective factor against negative mental health outcomes is resilience, which is one's ability to effectively achieve positive outcomes followi…

  • Types of Discrimination as Predictors of Identity Concealment in a Sexual and Gender Minority Sample

    Open AccessCharlie Giraud, Michelle T Leonard et al.ARTICLESexuality & Culture2024Cited by: 4References: 6

    The present study examined the role of different forms of discrimination (individual-level, institutional-level, and both types of discrimination) in predicting identity concealment behaviors in a sample of sexual and gender minorities (SGM; n = 2296) living in Eastern Europe. Both the choice to engage in identity concealment at all and the frequency to which an individual concealed their identity were regressed onto each type of discrimination. …

This study explored dyadic coping and its association with relationship satisfaction and distress in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected online from 564 participants. Participants completed measures of dyadic coping, relationship satisfaction, COVID anxiet…
