Abstract

The present study explored how identity authenticity and LGBT+ community connectedness may mediate the effects of interpersonal discrimination on life satisfaction in a sample of LGBT+ participants across three counties. We used a cross-sectional online survey to collect data and paper questionnaires. Participants were 723 LGBT+ people (56.6% females): 308 (42%) of participants were from the UK, 245 (34%) from Italy, and 170 (24%) from Turkey. Participants' age ranged from 18-60 years (M = 33.83, SD = 11.55). Analysis of variance and multigroup mediation models implemented through path analysis were performed. The associations of interpersonal discrimination with identity authenticity and connectedness to the LGBT+ community showed cross-country variations. The association between interpersonal discrimination and identity authenticity was stronger in Italy than in the UK but non-significant in Turkey. Interpersonal discrimination showed a negative association with connectedness to the LGBT+ community in Italy and the UK, with Italy exhibiting the strongest effect. Conversely, this association was positive in Turkey. Irrespective of the country, life satisfaction showed a negative association with interpersonal discrimination and positive associations with identity authenticity and connectedness to the LGBT+ community. This study provides valuable insights into the differences and similarities between the experiences of LGBT+ people in the UK, Italy, and Turkey. The social and policy implications that emerge from the study highlight the relevance of addressing structural stigma in different cultures and emphasize the need for targeted interventions and supportive policies at the supranational level to improve the quality of life of LGBT+ individuals.

积极的 LGBT+ 认同、人际歧视和生活满意度:英国、意大利和土耳其男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者的跨国比较》(A Cross-National Comparison Between LGBT+ People in the UK, Italy, and Turkey)。
本研究以三个县的 LGBT+ 参与者为样本,探讨了身份真实性和 LGBT+ 社区联系如何调节人际歧视对生活满意度的影响。我们使用横断面在线调查和纸质问卷收集数据。参与者为 723 名 LGBT+(56.6% 为女性):其中 308 人(42%)来自英国,245 人(34%)来自意大利,170 人(24%)来自土耳其。参与者的年龄在 18-60 岁之间(M = 33.83,SD = 11.55)。通过路径分析建立了方差分析和多组中介模型。人际歧视与身份真实性和与 LGBT+ 社区的联系之间的关系显示出了跨国差异。人际歧视与身份真实性之间的关联在意大利比在英国更强,但在土耳其则不明显。在意大利和英国,人际歧视与 LGBT+ 群体的联系呈负相关,其中意大利的影响最大。相反,这种关联在土耳其则呈正相关。无论在哪个国家,生活满意度都与人际歧视呈负相关,而与身份真实性和与 LGBT+ 群体的联系呈正相关。这项研究为了解英国、意大利和土耳其 LGBT+ 人士经历的异同提供了宝贵的见解。研究产生的社会和政策影响突出了解决不同文化中结构性污名化问题的相关性,并强调需要在超国家层面采取有针对性的干预措施和支持性政策,以提高 LGBT+ 个人的生活质量。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
