Confirmatory factor analysis and measurement invariance of the sexual orientation concealment scale among nonbinary LGBTQ+ adults
Internalized Heterosexism and Depressive Symptoms Among Bisexual and Pansexual Women
Few studies have examined differences in minority stress processes between women with varying bi+ identities. This study explored whether there were differences in internalized heterosexism, belonging to the LGBTQA+ community, and depressive symptoms between bisexual and pansexual women and whether the indirect relationship between internalized heterosexism and depressive symptoms via belonging to the LGBTQA+ community was conditional on sexual o…
The Sky is Falling! Examining Disaster Preparedness in Supported Independent Living
With increased occurrence of disasters, disaster preparedness for those living with a disability is paramount. Support workers of people living with a disability are directly implicated in their disaster preparedness, playing a critical role in evacuation and emergency responses, yet little is understood about their preparedness. This mixed-methods study explored attitudes, experiences, and knowledge of 137 Australian support workers working with…
Validation of Two Existential Loneliness Scales in Emerging Adults
Emerging adults experience intense instability and uncertainty in their lives. The relevance of existential loneliness to emerging adults has received little attention in loneliness research. This study investigated the psychometric properties of two recently developed existential loneliness scales, the Existential Loneliness scale (ELS) and the Brief Scale of Existential Loneliness (BSEL), among 370 emerging adults aged from 18 to 29 years. The …
Beyond the badge
Retired police officers face a heightened risk of suicide compared to the general population, yet research into risk and protective factors is limited. This study investigated relationships between moral injury, self-warmth, self-coldness, and suicidality in 400 retired police officers ( M = 62.84, SD = 9.53; 81% male). Higher moral injury and self-warmth and lower self-coldness were associated with greater suicidality. Self-warmth and self-coldn…
Internalized Heterosexism, Self-warmth, Self-coldness, and Problematic Alcohol Use among Bisexual and Lesbian Women
Problematic alcohol use is greater among sexual minority women than heterosexual women. Internalized heterosexism is a risk factor for problematic alcohol use among lesbian women, however, limited research extends to bisexual women. Self-compassion is a protective factor against internalized heterosexism and problematic alcohol use. However, separating self-compassion components (i.e., self-warmth and self-coldness) is encouraged due to their dis…
Discrimination and Psychological Well-Being Among LGBTQ+ Australians
LGBTQ+ people continue to report poorer psychological health compared to cisgender heterosexual people. This is exacerbated in rural communities where conservative mind-sets inform expectations of heteronormativity and contribute to discrimination. A sense of belonging to the broader community can function as a protective factor alleviating the impact of discrimination on psychological wellbeing. However, this relationship has not been examined b…
Sexual orientation concealment, hope, and depressive symptoms among gay and bisexual men
The prevalence of depressive symptoms among gay and bisexual men is cause for concern. This study aimed to investigate whether hope and its two components (agency and pathways) moderated the relationship between sexual orientation concealment and depressive symptoms in gay and bisexual men and whether the moderating effects were conditional on sexual orientation. Participants were 197 gay men aged 18 to 71 years (M = 35.13 years, SD = 12.18 years…
Self-Warmth, Self-Coldness, and Depressive Symptoms Among Sexual Minority Adults
Depression is more prevalent among sexual minority adults than heterosexual adults.Whilst research has shown self-compassion is related to lower levels of depressive symptoms, few studies have focused on sexual minority adults.Furthermore, few studies have examined the relationship between the positive (selfwarmth) and negative (self-coldness) components of self-compassion and depressive symptoms.This study aimed to investigate whether self-warmt…
Internalized Heterosexism, Hope, and Depressive Symptoms Among Gay and Bisexual Men
Sexual minority men (SMM), and bisexual men in particular, show elevated risks of depressive symptoms relative to heterosexual men. A breadth of research shows that internalized heterosexism, a primary minority stressor, partially explains the disproportionately high levels of depressive symptoms among SMM. However, it is less clear which factors buffer this relationship. The present study investigated whether hope and its subfactors, agency and …
The Relations Between Self-Warmth, Self-Coldness, Internalized Heterosexism, and Depressive Symptoms Among Sexual Minority Men
Depression is a prevalent mental health issue for sexual minority men (SMM), with the internalization of sexual identity-based stigma a key risk factor. Self-warmth is a protective factor and self-coldness is a risk factor for depressive symptoms, yet limited research in this area has focused on SMM. In the present study, an international sample of 1,285 gay and 487 bisexual men completed measures of depression, internalized heterosexism, and sel…
Sexual Orientation Concealment, Hope, and Depressive Symptoms Among Sexual Minority Women
Sexual minority women (SMW) experience higher levels of depression compared to heterosexual women, and bisexual women show higher levels than lesbian women. Sexual orientation concealment is a risk factor for depressive symptoms among SMW. Hope is protective against depressive symptoms in diverse samples, but limited research in this area has centered on SMW. This study examined the role of hope and its components, agency and pathways, as moderat…
Suicidality among older Australian adults
Background: Vulnerability to suicidality is a concern among older adults, particularly as this proportion of the population is growing. Determining what factors contribute to suicidality will help to create a framework for understanding and assessing suicidal risk among older adults and developing effective treatments. This study examined suicidality among older Australian adults. Methods: This study forms part of a larger study to trial a survey…
Discrimination and suicide risk among transgender and gender-diverse adults
Being Able to Be Yourself
Rural Australians with diverse sexualities (queer) are at higher risk of poor mental health outcomes and suicidal ideation than their heterosexual and urban peers. This is particularly the case for young people aged 18-29 years experiencing a developmental period known as emerging adulthood marked by significant volatility and change. A sense of belonging is a fundamental human need and has been found to function as a protective factor against de…
The Relationship Between Living Alone and Depressive Symptoms Among Older Gay Men
Living alone is a risk factor for depressive symptoms among older gay men. It is likely this relationship strengthens as gay men age, due to social isolation and fewer family supports. This study investigated whether the relationship between living alone and depressive symptoms was moderated by age among older gay men. A community sample of 270 Australian gay men aged 60 to 91 years (M = 68.81, SD = 8.69) completed the Center for Epidemiologic St…
The Relationship between Self-Compassion, Internalized Heterosexism, and Depressive Symptoms among Bisexual and Lesbian Women
Depression is prevalent among sexual minority women, with internalized heterosexism a risk factor. Whilst research has found self-compassion to provide protection against depressive symptoms, its six components are rarely examined individually. The current study aimed to investigate the protective function of self-compassion and its components among lesbian and bisexual women by testing a moderated-mediation model to assess whether self-compassio…
Dispositional optimism and suicide among trans and gender diverse adults
Trans and gender diverse adults are at increased suicide risk. Optimism protects against suicide across multiple populations. Applying the Interpersonal-Psychological Theory of Suicide (IPTS), we examined both factors among 237 adults recruited via social media and online platforms, 79.3% of whom reported serious suicide ideation. Dispositional optimism predicted suicidal ideation and behaviors (SIB), but did not moderate the relationship between…
Resilience among trans and gender-diverse adults
Trans and gender-diverse (TGD) adults are at increased risk for suicide. A wealth of evidence supports perceived burdensomeness as an independent key risk factor for suicide. Few studies have investigated dispositional hope or its components (agency and pathways) as a psychological resilience factor within the TGD population. The present study investigated the role of dispositional hope as a moderator in the relationship between perceived burdens…
The Relationship between a Sense of Belonging to the LGBTIQ + Community, Internalized Heterosexism, and Depressive Symptoms among Bisexual and Lesbian Women
Depressive symptoms are a significant health concern among sexual minority women, with bisexual women at a higher risk than lesbian women. Internalized heterosexism is a key risk factor for depression among sexual minority women. Sense of belonging to the LGBTIQ + community is protective for lesbian women, but the limited research among bisexual women has shown inconsistent results. The current study investigated whether a sense of belonging to t…
What About Me? Sense of Belonging and Depressive Symptoms among Bisexual Women
Depression is a significant mental health issue for bisexual women. While theory and research indicates that sense of belonging is important for mental health, limited research has investigated this in relation to bisexual women belonging to the LGBTQ + community. Existing research indicates that identification and involvement with the LGBTQ + community is not protective for the mental health of bisexual women. The protective nature of the extent…
Rurality, reasons for living, and suicidal ideation among Australian men
Within Australia, men who reside in rural areas are at higher risk for suicide compared to men who reside in more populated areas. The aim of the current study was to examine the role that fewer reasons for living might play in the higher rates of suicide among men who reside in rural areas by testing a mediation model. Given the protective nature of reasons for living, I proposed that rurality would be associated with fewer reasons for living wh…
Self-reliance and stoicism as predictors of distress following radical prostatectomy in the context of place of residence
A common form of treatment for Australian men with prostate cancer is a radical prostatectomy (RP). Although sociodemographic and medical factors have been found to be predictive of psychological distress following RP, the traditional masculine norms of self-reliance and stoicism are also implicated in poor psychological outcomes. The strength of the relationship between these masculine norms and distress may vary according to place of residence-…
Internalized Homonegativity, Sense of Belonging, and Depressive Symptoms Among Australian Gay Men
Internalized homonegativity has been directly linked to depression among gay men. The aim of the study was to test whether internalized homonegativity is indirectly related to depressive symptoms via a sense of belonging to the broad gay community, gay groups, gay friends, and the general community. A sample of 246 self-identified Australian gay men, aged 18-82 years, completed the Internalized Homophobia Scale, the Psychological subscale of the …

Sense of belonging compensated for high levels of depression, and social support, sense of belonging, and an inc…
Sense of Belonging and Depressive Symptoms Among GLB Adolescents
Research has indicated that gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) adolescents are at an increased risk of mental health problems. Research has also indicated that experiencing a sense of belonging is important for one's mental health. This study investigated sense of belonging to the general community and sense of belonging to a GLB specific youth group (Minus18) as predictors of depressive symptoms among self-identified GLB adolescents (N = 99). Part…
The Interrelations Between Internalized Homophobia, Depressive Symptoms, and Suicidal Ideation Among Australian Gay Men, Lesbians, and Bisexual Women
Internalized homophobia has been linked to depression among gay men, lesbians, and bisexuals. Relatively little research has investigated the link between internalized homophobia and suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The current research investigated the interrelations among internalized homophobia, depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation by testing additive, mediation, and moderation models. Self-identified Australian gay men (n = 360), lesbia…

The Interrelations Between Age, Sense of Belonging, and Depressive Symptoms Among Australian Gay Men and Lesbians
Researchers have demonstrated that age is related to depression among gay men and lesbians, with younger adults experiencing more depression than older adults. Other researchers have indicated that a sense of belonging is related to lower levels of depression. This study investigated whether sense of belonging to the gay and lesbian community moderates and mediates the relationship between age and depressive symptoms among gay men and lesbians. A…
An Imperial Legacy? An Exploration of the Environmental Impact of Ancient Metal Mining and Smelting in Southern Jordan
Sense of Belonging to Layers of Lesbian Community Weakens the Link Between Body Image Dissatisfaction and Depressive Symptoms
There is evidence to suggest that body image dissatisfaction and depressive symptoms are related among lesbians and that the strength of this relationship may be influenced by individuals’ sense of belonging to the lesbian community at each of the three layers: broad, organizational, and friendship. The broad layer provides an overarching ideology and, within this layer, individuals may not have direct contact with each other. The organizational …
The Relationships Between Sense of Belonging to the Gay Community, Body Image Dissatisfaction, and Self-Esteem Among Australian Gay Men
Body image dissatisfaction has been linked to belonging to the gay community and poor self-esteem among gay men. This study was designed to explore the applicability of a moderation model and a mediation model in explaining the relations between sense of belonging to the gay community, body image dissatisfaction and self-esteem among 90 self-identified Australian gay men. Participants completed the psychological subscale of the Sense of Belonging…

A community sample of 104 Australians aged 61 to 95 years completed The Reasons for Living Inventory and The Sense of Belonging Instrument. Results indicated that a higher sense of belonging predicted more reasons to live overall, and child-related concerns, responsibility to family, and su…
The Relationships Between Sense of Belonging to a Community GLB Youth Group; School, Teacher, and Peer Connectedness; and Depressive Symptoms
Research indicates belonging to a gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) support group is indirectly associated with fewer depressive symptoms, via higher levels of sense of belonging to the general community. The current study extended this research by testing a path model to determine whether school, teacher, and peer connectedness are influenced by sense of belonging to a community GLB youth group. A sample of 82 Australian GLB adolescents aged 14 t…
Early-Holocene environments in the Wadi Faynan, Jordan
Evidence for early-Holocene environments in the Wadi Faynan in the rift-margin in souther Jordan is described. The early Holocene of Jordan is not well known and palynology, plant macrofossils and molluscs from Wadi Faynan provide evidence for a much more humid-forest-steppe and steppe-environment than the present stony desert and highly degraded steppe. The early-Holocene fluvial sediments in the Faynan catchment are predominantly fine-grained, …
