The Interfaith Intolerance Scale: Factor Structure and Associations with Empathy, Political Ideology, and Preferences in Information Processing
Prior research has conceptualized and measured religious intolerance as occurring towards specific religions rather than all religious outgroups. We examined the factor structure and construct validity of the Interfaith Intolerance Scale (IIS), a measure of general ingroup religious bias and disregard for other religions. In study 1 ( N = 403), an exploratory factor analysis yielded a three factor solution: Lack of reciprocal understanding, inter…
Exploring the prevalence and characteristics of self-labelled identity, coping, and mental health among BDSM-practicing adults in the United States
This paper aimed to explore BDSM involvement and its effects on mental health. The study had four objectives: (1) quantify frequencies of BDSM self-labels, (2) describe patterns of BDSM involvement subtypes (i.e. fantasy, behaviour, and identity), (3) compare BDSM-related involvement among two samples: members of the National Coalition for Sexual Freedom (NCSF) and a non-NCSF sample of adults interested in or practicing BDSM, and (4) understand w…
Sexual violence victimization and suicide: Testing a coping‐mental health framework
Sexual violence victimization is a prevalent public health concern. However, little research has investigated the factors linking sexual violence victimization to suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs). The current study tested the applicability of the psychological mediation framework, a coping‐mental health model, for the prevention of STBs among victims of sexual youviolence. Furthermore, the current study explored whether sexual orientation m…
The intersection of interpersonal and self-directed violence among general adult, college student and sexually diverse samples
BACKGROUND: Suicide and interpersonal violence (i.e. victimization and perpetration) represent pressing public health problems, and yet remain mostly addressed as separate topics. AIMS: To identify the (1) frequency and overlap of suicide and interpersonal violence and (2) characteristics differentiating subgroups of violence-related experiences. METHODS: A health survey was completed by 2,175 respondents comprised of three groups: college studen…
A psychometric assessment of the Community Attitudes Toward Sex Offenders (Catso) Scale: Implications for public policy, trial, and research
Substance-related coping, HIV-related factors, and mental health among an HIV-positive sexual minority community sample
HIV-positive status poses a unique set of social stressors, especially among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) persons. Among these difficulties are the internalization of HIV-related stigma and poor mental health. Unfortunately, substance use as a coping mechanism is also common, dependent on other demographic factors, among HIV-positive and LGB samples. The present study integrates these bodies of literature by examining main and interactive eff…
