    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Logan L Barsigian et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology and Sexuality•2026

    How have shifts in cultural attitudes and understandings of sexual and gender diversity impacted experiences of sexual identity development across generations?

    Open Access•D Copulsky, Phillip L Hammack•ARTICLE•Sexualities•2025

    With its emphasis on practices like social distancing and periods of intermittent isolation, the COVID-19 pandemic likely presented unique challenges for individuals who engage in consensual nonmonogamy (CNM). Interviews with 16 practitioners of CNM in the United States conducted in May–July, 2021 revealed five themes about how COVID-19 impacted their relationships: (1) slowing down relationship activity and progress; (2) speeding up relationship…

    The twenty-first century has seen the proliferation of new sexual identity subcultures rooted in creative role-play dynamics, expanding our cultural and scientific understanding of diversity in sexuality and intimacy. In an international sample of 568 people who identified with the kink subculture of pup play, we analyzed responses to open-ended questions about the discovery of pup play and communities, definitions of pup play, and motivations fo…

  • The psychology of sexual and gender diversity in the 21st century: Social technologies and stories of authenticity

    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Adriana M Manago•ARTICLE•American Psychologist•2024•Cited by: 5

    The 21st century has seen shifts in social and scientific understandings of gender and sexuality in the United States. From the legitimization of same-sex marriage to the heightened visibility of transgender identities, nonbinary gender, and forms of intimate diversity such as asexuality, kink, and polyamory, core cultural and scientific assumptions about gender and sexuality have been challenged. This article situates these changes in the histor…

    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Brock Grecco et al.•ARTICLE•Archives of Sexual Behavior•2022

    What forms of intracommunity stigma do young sexual minority men narrate as they participate in communities through mobile apps? In a content analysis of 32 interviews with a racially diverse sample of young sexual minority men (ages 19–25; 84.4% non-White) from four regions of the USA, a majority of men (62.5%) spontaneously discussed mobile apps (e.g., Grindr, Scruff) when asked about their experience of community more broadly. Men’s narratives…

    Chadwick K Campbell, Phillip L Hammack et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Homosexuality•2022

    Recognizing the historical grounding of sexual identity development, we examined the spontaneous narration of the internet's significance among a diverse sample of three distinct birth cohorts of sexual minority adults ( n = 36, ages 18-59) in the United States. Thematic analysis revealed two structural barriers and four roles of the internet in sexual identity development. Structural barriers were being in a heterosexual marriage (exclusive to m…

    Open Access•D M Frost, Ilan H Meyer et al.•ARTICLE•Archives of Sexual Behavior•2022•Cited by: 4•References: 58

    This study examined the extent to which social stress stemming from a stigmatized social status (i.e., minority stress) was associated with three domains of health in younger as compared with older age cohorts of sexual minority individuals. Data were analyzed from the Generations Study, a longitudinal study using a probability sample ( N = 1518) of age cohorts of sexual minority individuals in the USA. Exposure to a variety of minority stressors…

  • Minority stress, distress, and suicide attempts in three cohorts of sexual minority adults: A U.S. probability sample

    Open Access•Ilan H Meyer, T Russell et al.•ARTICLE•PLoS ONE•2021

    During the past 50 years, there have been marked improvement in the social and legal environment of sexual minorities in the United States. Minority stress theory predicts that health of sexual minorities is predicated on the social environment. As the social environment improves, exposure to stress would decline and health outcomes would improve. We assessed how stress, identity, connectedness with the LGBT community, and psychological distress …

  • Gender and Sexual Identity in Adolescence: A Mixed-Methods Study of Labeling in Diverse Community Settings

    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Sam Hughes et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Adolescent Research•2021•Cited by: 24•References: 26

    Understandings of sexual and gender identity have expanded beyond traditional binaries, yet we know little about adolescents’ appropriation of identity labels across diverse communities. In a mixed-methods study of adolescents recruited from lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) spaces in communities differing in support of sexual and gender diversity, seven patterns emerged: (a) frequent use of nonbinary gender identity labels …

  • Asexuality, Graysexuality, and Demisexuality: Distinctions in Desire, Behavior, and Identity

    D Copulsky, Phillip L Hammack•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2021•Cited by: 22•References: 5

    As identities within the ace spectrum gain greater visibility in describing those who experience limited or no sexual attraction, it is vital to understand points of commonality and distinction among individuals who identify as asexual, graysexual, and demisexual. Among respondents to the Ace Community Survey, a large international sample of individuals who identify on the ace spectrum, we found that those who identified as asexual (n = 9,476, M …

  • The qualitative interview in psychology and the study of social change: Sexual identity development, minority stress, and health in the generations study

    Open Access•D M Frost, Phillip L Hammack et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Psychology•2020

    Interviewing is considered a key form of qualitative inquiry in psychology that yields rich data on lived experience and meaning making of life events. Interviews that contain multiple components informed by specific epistemologies have the potential to provide particularly nuanced perspectives on psychological experience. We offer a methodological model for a multi-component interview that draws upon both pragmatic and constructivist epistemolog…

  • Narratives of gender, sexuality, and community in three generations of genderqueer sexual minorities

    Open Access•Logan L Barsigian, Phillip L Hammack et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology of Sexual Orientation…•2020•Cited by: 4•References: 9

    Genderqueer identities-those that challenge a strict binary between woman and man-are increasingly visible within mainstream culture and psychological research. However, little is known about generational differences in the lived experience of genderqueer people. Inductive thematic analysis of interviews with 30 genderqueer sexual minorities of 3 distinct generations living the United States revealed 3 major themes: (a) unintelligibility: genderq…

  • Narratives of the Origins of Kinky Sexual Desire Held by Users of a Kink-Oriented Social Networking Website

    Sam Hughes, Sam D Hughes et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Sex Research•2020•Cited by: 5•References: 15

    Empirical research on the origins of kinky erotic desires (e.g., sadomasochism, bondage, domination/submission, roleplaying, sexual fetishism, etc.) has been limited and rarely rooted in the narratives of kinky people themselves. Among a sample of 260 self-identified kinky users of a kink-oriented social networking website living in 21 countries, we examined self-reported narratives of the origins of kink desires. An inductive coding process by f…

    With heightened cultural visibility and greater opportunities for connection, individuals with kinky sexual desires (e.g. BDSM, sexual fetishism, sexual role-playing) are increasingly constructing sexual identities that foreground their kink-oriented desires. However, we know little about how kinky individuals negotiate stigma as they construct sexual identities and engage in intimate practices which provide meaning and coherence to their sense o…

  • Narrative as a Root Metaphor for Political Psychology

    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Andrew Pilecki•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2011•Cited by: 75•References: 168

    The idea of narrative has become increasingly appropriated in empirical research in both psychology and politics, yet there is a notable absence of integrative frameworks that specify a conceptual and methodological approach to narrative research in political psychology. An integrative conceptual framework is proposed and anchored in four principles of a narrative approach: (1) the mutual constitution of language and thought, (2) the need for per…

    Recognition of sexual and gender diversity in the 21st century challenges normative assumptions of intimacy that privilege heterosexual monogamy and the biological family unit, presume binary cisgender identities, essentialize binary sexual identities, and view sexual or romantic desire as necessary. We propose a queer paradigm to study relationship diversity grounded in seven axioms: intimacy may occur (1) within relationships featuring any comb…

    The twentieth century witnessed not only the devastation of war, conflict, and injustice on a massive scale, but also the emergence of social psychology as a discipline committed to addressing these and other social problems.

We witness the reprise of authoritarianism and the endurance of institutionalized forms of oppression such as sexism, racism, and heterosexism…

    Phillip L Hammack, Leifa Mayers et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology and Sexuality•2011•Cited by: 26•References: 29

    Since early legal, medical and scientific discussions of homosexuality, the discipline of psychology has assumed an instrumental role in both maintaining and challenging cultural and political perspectives on same-sex desire, identity and behaviour. This article presents a critical historical review of psychological research on same-sex desire in the United States, with a focus on the way in which studies reflect three master narratives on the na…

  • Gay Men’s Health and Identity: Social Change and the Life Course

    Due to significant historical change in the late 20th and early 21st century related to both health and cultural attitudes toward homosexuality, gay men of distinct birth cohorts may diverge considerably in their health and identity development. We argue that research on gay men's health has not adequately considered the significance of membership in distinct generation-cohorts, and we present a life course paradigm to address this problem. Focus…

Master narrative engagement is defined as the process by which individuals engage with and internalize competing storylines of history and identity perceived as socially compulsory. Narrative science is concerned with individual responses to thes…

    Contemporary Israeli youth are socialized in the context of intractable nationalist conflict with Palestinians, characterized by a “master” historical narrative of Jewish Israeli identity that exacerbates the conflict. This exploratory study examines the relation between this master narrative and the personal narratives of youth motivated to participate in a coexistence program. Narratives of youth suggest points of both convergence and divergenc…

    Scholars across a range of disciplines have increasingly argued that the intractability of political conflicts is rooted in the proliferation of competing historical narratives. These collective narratives construct the basis of a sense of shared collective identity. Narrative and identity are thus increasingly conceptualized as fundamental to the maintenance and reproduction of political conflict. In this paper, I explore two underlying concepti…

This study examined the prevalence and correlates of delegitimization, one psychological component theorized as central to the maintenance and reproduction of intractable conflict. Jewish Israeli adolescents completed a survey assessi…

    Phillip L Hammack, Leifa Mayers et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology and Sexuality•2011•Cited by: 26•References: 29

    Since early legal, medical and scientific discussions of homosexuality, the discipline of psychology has assumed an instrumental role in both maintaining and challenging cultural and political perspectives on same-sex desire, identity and behaviour. This article presents a critical historical review of psychological research on same-sex desire in the United States, with a focus on the way in which studies reflect three master narratives on the na…

  • Narrative as a Root Metaphor for Political Psychology

    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Andrew Pilecki•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2011•Cited by: 75•References: 168

    The idea of narrative has become increasingly appropriated in empirical research in both psychology and politics, yet there is a notable absence of integrative frameworks that specify a conceptual and methodological approach to narrative research in political psychology. An integrative conceptual framework is proposed and anchored in four principles of a narrative approach: (1) the mutual constitution of language and thought, (2) the need for per…

  • Beliefs Predicting Peace, Beliefs Predicting War: Jewish Americans and the Israeli–Palestinian Conflict

    Open Access•Ella Ben Hagai, Eileen L Zurbriggen et al.•ARTICLE•Analyses of Social Issues and…•2013

    Jewish Americans’ opinions on the Israeli–Palestinian conflict influence both the Israeli and the U.S. governments. Consequently, the Jewish American diaspora can act to promote or inhibit the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians. Several different sociopsychological beliefs have been postulated to lead individuals to support the perpetuation of conflict. Among these beliefs are a sense of collective victimhood, dehumanization and dele…

  • Exploring the reproduction of conflict through narrative: Israeli youth motivated to participate in a coexistence program

    Phillip L Hammack•ARTICLE•Qualitative Psychology•2013

    Contemporary Israeli youth are socialized in the context of intractable nationalist conflict with Palestinians, characterized by a “master” historical narrative of Jewish Israeli identity that exacerbates the conflict. This exploratory study examines the relation between this master narrative and the personal narratives of youth motivated to participate in a coexistence program. Narratives of youth suggest points of both convergence and divergenc…

In this study, we examine transcripts from a contact encounter among Israeli, Palestinian, and American adolescents. The first aim of this study was to identify the basic root narratives articulated by the Israeli and Palestinian participants in conversation. The second aim was to test conversational conditions associated …

    Open Access•Phillip L Hammack, Andrew Pilecki et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community & Applied…•2013•Cited by: 9•References: 14

    To address the dearth of research on the process and meaning participants make of intergroup contact in settings of intractable conflict, Israeli, Palestinian and US youth were randomly assigned to conditions of dialogue‐based contact rooted in distinct social psychological theories. Over a 2‐week period, participants completed diaries containing surveys of psychological experience and space for free reflection. US youth reported lower levels of …
