On Being Black and Out of the Closet: Exploring Moderators of Black Queer Sexual Orientation Disclosure
Engagement and perceived community belonging has vast benefits on the well-being of Black queer adults (i.e., identifying as both Black and a sexual or gender minority). However, little is known about the intersectional experiences of Black queer individuals concerning engagement and belonging in marginalized communities. The present study investigated the association of community engagement and sexual orientation disclosure, alongside the modera…
African Americans and Activism: Exploring the Impact on Psychological Well-Being
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between psychological well-being and PTSD symptoms in relation to activism orientations among African Americans. Additionally, the study explored the moderating roles of activist self-identity and length of activism involvement in these relationships. A national sample of 298 African American adults was examined, and the following findings were observed: African Americans with a greater inclination…
The Ableist and White Supremacist Origins of U.S. Policing and Connections to Involuntary Hospitalization
This paper discusses the impact of White supremacy, ableism, and U.S. policing on both the history and current state of psychology and sheds light on ways that psychologists can acknowledge and divest from carceral White supremacist practices in mental healthcare. Because of how oppression and intersectionality function within a White supremacist society, not all Black lives have been equally valued by non-Black Americans. Similarly, White suprem…
Existing in the void: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of rural LGBTQ+ students
While a growing body of literature has been devoted to addressing the lived experiences of LGBTQ+ youth, specific information related to LGBTQ+ youth in rural high schools is a topic in need of more attention. Utilizing the theory of LGBTQ+ minority stress and research specific to rural LGBTQ+ experiences, we explore the experiences of LGBTQ+ identities in rural Midwestern high schools. We investigate how LGBTQ+ students understand themselves and…
Healing from heterosexist experiences: A mixed method intervention study using expressive writing
Internalized Binegativity, LGBQ + Community Involvement, and Definitions of Bisexuality
Bisexual people can internalize stigma from both heterosexual and gay/lesbian communities, which often occurs in the form of monosexism, the belief that people should only be attracted to one gender. Although community involvement is protective for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer+ (LGBQ+) people, bisexual people may benefit more from bisexual-specific communities than LGBQ+ communities because of monosexism. Further, how bisexual people define …
Voices of the Mind: Hegemonic Masculinity and Others in Mind during Young Men’s Sexual Encounters
Very little research has examined what goes on in the minds of young men during sex. Such an exploration might reveal gender-normative discourses as well as challenges to such. This discourse analysis understands internal speech as that which both instantiates status quo ideals of masculinity and which challenges them. We use theories of hegemonic masculinity and Vygotskyan notions of 'others in the head' to understand how hegemonic masculinity i…
HIV Prevention in Gay Family and House Networks: Fostering Self-Determination and Sexual Safety
Between a Gay and a Straight Place: Bisexual Individuals’ Experiences with Monosexism
Bisexual people experience monosexism, the privileging of sexual attraction to one sex or gender, from heterosexual, gay, and lesbian communities. The current study of 745 bisexual-identified participants explored their experiences of monosexism with heterosexual family members, heterosexual friends, gay family members, and gay friends. Results indicated that bisexual individuals reported significantly more discrimination from the heterosexual co…
