Behind Monosexual Norms
Bisexual individuals remain significantly underrepresented in research, practice, and policy, particularly beyond Anglophone contexts. This scoping review aims to map and synthesize empirical studies on the lived experiences of bisexual (bi +) populations in Southern Europe. Our research goal was to examine the types of studies, main themes, and forms of evidence used between 2010 and 2024 to explore bi + experiences within psychology, sociology,…
Coping Appraisal in Justice Involved Youth
Adolescents in juvenile justice centers (JJCs) are among the most vulnerable youth populations, yet they remain underrepresented in developmental research. Bullying is widespread in JJCs, but little is known about how youth interpret and cope with victimization, particularly in relation to institutional climates informed by staff attitudes. This study examined whether staff attitudes toward bullying moderate the relationship between victimization…
Binegativity Within Intimate Relationships
Over the past decade, there has been a significant rise in individuals identifying as bisexual, reflecting a shift in perceptions of sexual and gender identity in Western societies. In Southern Europe, however, the unique historical and sociocultural context has meant that challenges faced by bisexual individuals have been underexplored. This study, grounded in the psychology of critical sexualities, investigates how bisexual people navigate thei…
Breaking barriers
Bystanders are present in most bullying and cyberbullying incidents, and when they intervene in favor of the victim, they can effectively stop it. Evidence suggests that intergroup factors, such as social identification, increase bystanders’ helping intentions in bullying episodes. However, relatively little is known about the potential positive effects of intergroup factors on bystanders’ attitudes and behaviors when witnessing bias-based cyberb…
A longitudinal examination of individual and collective identity coping strategies against minority stress among lesbian and gay young adults
Cyberbullying during Covid-19 lockdowns
The COVID-19 pandemic posed additional challenges to the safety and well-being of young people who were forced to engage in online learning, spending more time than ever online, and cyberbullying emerged as a notable concern for parents, educators, and students. Two studies conducted online examined the prevalence, predictors, and outcomes of cyberbullying episodes during the lockdowns due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Portugal. Study 1 ( N = 48…
Gay vs. straight? Implications of intergroup perceptions on minority stress and the mental health of lesbian and gay people
A “social cure” for minority stress? Individual and collective identity strategies on the mental health outcomes of lesbian and gay people
Lesbian and gay (LG) people experience minority stressors, resulting in adverse mental health outcomes. To cope, many LG people engage in individualistic or collectivistic strategies, that is, self-distancing or connecting with their in-group, the LGBTQ+ community. Even though research suggests what may help LG people cope with minority stress, it is less clear how and under which conditions they do so. In this study, we examine how LG people emp…
The benefits of common inclusive identities for adolescent bystanders’ intentions to help homophobic bullying victims
Bystanders’ helping behaviors are essential to mitigate bullying and its consequences, although bystanders do not always intervene on behalf of those who are victimized. One study ( N = 170) tested, experimentally, the impact of different forms of common identities (one-group and dual-identity vs. control) on youth (aged between 12 and 19 years) bystanders’ helping behavioral intentions in the context of a common form of bias-based bullying (i.e.…
Mind the Gap! LGBTQ + Population’s Perceptions of Discrimination and of Legal Innovation
Introduction Homosexuality was decriminalized in Portugal in 1982, and several legislative changes have emerged since the beginning of the twenty-first century. However, 2010 marked the beginning of the approval of fundamental laws for the life of LGBTQ + people, such as same-sex marriage, access to parenthood and the right to self-determination of gender identity. Despite these advances, discrimination is still present in Portuguese society. Met…
Conflict between religious/spiritual and LGB identities in Portugal
Even though Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual (LGB) individuals are usually less religious than the general population, religion and/or spirituality are still a part of many LGB people’s lives. This article focused on investigating the relation between the conflict between religious/spiritual and LGB identities and subjective well-being, dimensions of LGB identity and outness, in a Portuguese sample. The participants were 126 LGB people, with 80 of them…
Predictors of Secondary Education Completion across Portuguese Municipalities
Our overriding goal was to understand territorial inequalities regarding secondary school completion by testing which contextual factors and educational resources are associated with their change in high- and low-density Portuguese municipalities. Our analysis covered the time between 2009 and 2018, including both the economic crisis and the economic recovery period. Drawing mostly on publicly available data from 253 municipalities and following …
Intimate Partner Violence Directed at Men
Recent research has shed light on how men in same-sex and different-sex relationships experience Intimate Partner Violence (IPV), and how it may contribute to their Gender Role Conflict (GRC), through which men face a dissonance with their gender roles. However, knowledge on these topics is still lacking. We aim to better understand men’s experiences of violence in their same-sex or different-sex relationships by identifying their dynamics and th…
Imagined and extended contact experiences and adolescent bystanders' behavioral intentions in homophobic bullying episodes
Bystanders' helping interventions in bias‐based bullying are rare, although they have the potential to intervene on behalf of the victim and quickly stop the aggression. Two studies tested, experimentally, the impact of adolescents' imagined (Study 1, N = 113, M age = 16.17) and extended contact experiences (Study 2, N = 174, M age = 15.79) on assertive bystanders' behavioral intentions in the context of homophobic bullying, an under‐researched b…
Tackling gendered aspects of acculturation through Turkish migrant Women’s experiences in Europe
Gendered patterns and experiences in migration and acculturation research have recently started to gain recognition with the developments of intersectional and transnational/diaspora theories. Following advancements in the literature, the aim of the current study is to tackle gendered experiences of acculturation through readapting different social domains of RAEM (Relative Acculturation Extended Model) in making sense of the data from qualitativ…
Looking at Resilience among Transgender and Gender Diverse People in Portugal
The transgender and gender diverse (TGGD) population is highly diverse. To date, research on the association of the various family-parenthood aspirations of TGGD people with distinct affirming paths and identities remains scarce. A survey was conducted aiming to characterize the TGGD population's diversity and socio-demographic profile. A community-based convenience sample of 115 self-identified TGGD adults living in Portugal was collected. Most …
Standing Up for Culturally Competent Care in Portugal
Health professionals play an essential role in the protection and promotion of health rights without distinction of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, ethnicity/race, nationality and migration status, age, functional diversity, or any other individual and/or cultural positions. With the growing diversity of patient populations, health professionals must be able to identify and be responsive to individual and cultural diversi…

Resilience, pregnancy, and childbirth in a migratory context
Based on the theoretical model of resilience devised by Guajardo (2011), this study aims to understand the adverse contexts and resilient responses of Brazilian women during the pregnancy-puerperium period when living in Portugal. Analyzing the interviews allowed us to understand the participants' resilient movements. These movements were related to two categories: Self-interaction and Social skills. It was possible to verify a process of negotia…

Gender roles and representations of sexual abuse
Sexual abuse of children and youth is considered a public health problem. However, it is still a taboo, surrounded by a variety of myths. The main objective of this work was to investigate the relationship between attitudes toward gender roles and the social representations of sexual abuse of children and youth in a sample of students and professionals in the fields of health, education, social work, law, law enforcement and others with contact w…
The Path to Adulthood
Unaccompanied minors who reach the age of majority often experience this transition as a complex stage. Insecurity and helplessness may arise and, in some cases, survival without the support of the institutions and services that previously protected them as minors in the host country may mean becoming at risk for social exclusion. The objective of the present study was to characterize unaccompanied minors in Portugal (N = 67) and understand the p…

Stay away or stay together? Social contagion, common identity, and bystanders’ interventions in homophobic bullying episodes
Two studies explored the link between social contagion concerns and assertive bystanders’ behavioral intentions in homophobic bullying episodes. Study 1 ( N = 216) examined if adolescents’ social contagion concerns (i.e., fear of being misclassified as gay/lesbian) relate to decreased behavioral intentions to help victims of bullying, by increasing negative attitudes towards lesbians and gay men. Study 2 ( N = 230) further explored if inclusive i…

Saúde na diversidade
O presente artigo reflecte sobre o desenvolvimento de serviços e de profissionais de saúde mental sensíveis à cultura. A diversidade étnica da população nacional e internacional é uma realidade crescente, a qual exige uma resposta do ponto de vista dos serviços de saúde e promoção de bem-estar global dos indivíduos. A especificidade destas populações tem conduzido a uma subutilização dos serviços de apoio existentes, que não se encontram ajustado…

Processos de Resiliência em Migrantes
Studies on migration have focused on the difficulties, barriers and obstacles upon arrival and stay in the host country. Recognizing the existence of these adverse processes, just a few studies have been turning their attention to the way that migrants overcome the difficulties they encounter. Moreover, a small number of studies have been investigating the migration process as a whole, starting in the country of origin. Based on the resilience th…
