Discrepant Drinking and Partner Violence Perpetration Over Time in Lesbians’ Relationships
Discrepant drinking (i.e., differences in alcohol use) and perpetration of intimate partner violence in same-sex female couples were examined. Self-identified lesbian participants were recruited from market research firms and reported on their own and their partner's alcohol use and their own perpetration of psychological aggression and physical violence at baseline, then 6 and 12 months later. Cross-lagged panel analyses revealed that discrepant…
HIV nondisclosure and harm to sexual partners predict social evaluations and HIV stigma
Social Factors Linking Stigma‐Related Stress with Alcohol Use among Lesbians
A conceptual model linking stigma‐related stress and lesbian women's alcohol use and related problems via social factors (i.e., social constraints and social isolation), depressive symptoms, and negative reinforcement drinking motives (i.e., coping and conformity) was tested. Self‐identified lesbian women ( N = 1,048), age 18–35 years in the United States completed an online survey of discrimination, stigma consciousness, social isolation, social…
Individual differences in the impact of vicarious racism
RS-Race and specific components of racial identity are likely to sensitize African Americans to incidents of racism that happen to other African Americans, leading to negative psychological reactions when these events occur. (PsycINFO Database Record
Pathways to Hazardous Drinking Among Racially and Socioeconomically Diverse Lesbian Women
Lesbian women engage in more hazardous drinking than heterosexual women yet we know relatively little about what explains this disparity. In the present study, race, socioeconomic status, minority stress, general psychological processes and distress were examined as pathways to hazardous drinking among young (18-35 years) Black and non-Hispanic White lesbian women. We used the psychological mediation framework adaptation of minority stress theory…
External and internalized heterosexism among sexual minority women
Emotional Distress, Alcohol Use, and Bidirectional Partner Violence Among Lesbian Women
This study examined the relationship between emotional distress (defined as depression, brooding, and negative affect), alcohol outcomes, and bidirectional intimate partner violence among lesbian women. Results lend support to the self-medication hypothesis, which predicts that lesbian women who experience more emotional distress are more likely to drink to cope, and in turn report more alcohol use, problem drinking, and alcohol-related problems.…
Relationship and Individual Characteristics as Predictors of Unwanted Pursuit
Disentangling reactions to HIV disclosure
This experiment examined how reactions to HIV disclosure by a male stimulus person are influenced by the discloser's HIV status and sexual orientation as well as the disclosure recipient's gender. Participants (152 male and female college students) disclosed more intimately about themselves (revealing highly personal facts and personal feelings) when the man's HIV test result was positive versus negative. The effects of HIV status disclosure on p…
Internalized Sexual Minority Stressors and Same-Sex Intimate Partner Violence
Inmates with HIV, Stigma, and Disclosure Decision-making
Seventeen male, former inmates with HIV were interviewed about their experiences with HIV in a jail or prison in the southeastern region of the United States. Participants reported that stereotypes and prejudicial attitudes about HIV/AIDS were widely held by other inmates, and that concerns about HIV/AIDS stigma affected their decisions about HIV disclosure. The results suggest the need to better educate inmates and institutional staff about HIV/…
Predicting unwanted pursuit
We examined attachment and relationship variables as predictors of unwanted pursuit behavior (UPB) as reported by targets of pursuit and by pursuers. Factor analyses revealed two dimensions, Pursuit and Aggression, on Spitzberg and Cupach's measures of UPB for targets and pursuers. Results indicated no sex differences in reports of UPB by either targets or pursuers for Pursuit or Aggression, although female pursuers reported engaging in more 'mon…
Reasons for HIV Disclosure/Nondisclosure in Close Relationships
This research examined the relative importance of reasons for HIV disclosure/nondisclosure with a friend, intimate partner, and parents. Participants were 145 men and women with HIV. Overall, catharsis, a will to duty/educate, and having a close/supportive relationship were endorsed as reasons that influence HIV disclosure. Privacy, self–blame, fear of rejection, and protecting the other were endorsed as reasons that influence nondisclosure. Both…
Close Relationships and Social Support in Coping with HIV
Prayer as Interpersonal Coping in the Lives of Mothers with HIV
The spirituality of 22 mothers diagnosed with HIV was explored through face-to-face interviews and revealed that 95% of the mothers pray. Active prayers (e.g., talking to God by adoring, thanking, confessing, and supplicating) were more frequently reported than receptive prayers (e.g., quietly listening to God, being open, surrendering). Supplicatory or petitionary prayers for help and health were the most frequent type of prayer, and adoration w…
Perceived HIV-related Stigma and HIV Disclosure to Relationship Partners after Finding Out about the Seropositive Diagnosis
The present study examined how perceived HIV-related stigma (how much HIV-infected persons believe that the public stigmatizes someone with HIV) influences both reasons for and against HIV disclosure and self-reports of HIV disclosure to a friend, intimate partner and a parent. The research participants were 145 men and women living with HIV. They were asked to recall when they first learned about their HIV diagnosis. Then they indicated how much…
Gendered Situations, Gendered Selves
The Quality of Friendships at Work and Job Satisfaction
The study examines the relationship between quality of a friendship at work and job satisfaction. Faculty and staff (N = 722) at two universities completed measures of the qualities of their best friendship at work and of job satisfaction. Multiple regressions for faculty and staff and for subjects whose best friend was a peer, supervisor or subordinate revealed that the quality of one's best friendship in the workplace is predictive of job satis…
Effects of Gender Role Expectations on the Social Support Process
Based on a model of interactive coping activation, we review the impact of gender in the giving and receiving of emotion‐ and problem‐focused social support. The research suggests that the female role (emphasizing nurturance and emotional expressiveness) makes it easier for women to activate social support from close relations as well as to provide social support; whereas the male role (emphasizing achievement, autonomy, emotional control) makes …
Gender and Close Relationships
The articles in this JSI issue focus on how gender, gender role identity, and attitudes toward gender roles may affect the nature of relationships and how relationships may affect an individual's gender (including, behaviors, attitudes, and self‐perceptions). Though the focus is mainly on heterosexual relationships and U.S. samples, research on lesbian/gay and parent‐child relationships as well as same‐sex friendships and relationships in differe…

Understanding the Therapeutic Relationship as a Personal Relationship
Theories of personal relationships are reviewed to help us understand the therapeutic relationship as a personal relationship: Chambliss's (1965) theory of friendship which focuses on impression management; Kelley & Thibaut's (1978) theory of interdependence and Rusbult's (1980a) investment model of relationship satisfaction and commitment which focus on social exchange processes; and Levinger's (Levinger & Snoek, 1972) incremental exchange theor…
Gender Effects in an Initial Encounter
This research examined self-disclosure between all possible pairs of sex of discloser and sex of disclosure target. Assuming that socialization encourages women and men to play different roles, men were expected to take the initiative in comparison to women in the first encounter. Among acquaintances, males may exceed women in their disclosure of personal information in order to control the relationship's development. Results supported this predi…
