Positive social relationships are a well-documented protective factor that help to buffer the impact of adversity on mental health in this population. However, the role of social relationships with pets has received minimal attention in research on LGBTQ+ mental health, despite the high prevalence of pets in U.S. households. This cross-sectional study examined whether the association between interpersonal microaggressions and depressive symptoms among LGBTQ+ emerging adults varied as a function of attachment to pets across three domains: love, emotion regulation, and personal growth. We recruited 163 LGBTQ+ emerging adults (18-21 years) who lived with a cat and/or dog within the past year (98.8% sexual minority, 47.2% gender minority, 37.4% racial/ethnic minority). We found that love and emotion regulation significantly moderated the positive association between interpersonal microaggressions and depressive symptoms. Specifically, this association was only significant when love and emotion regulation were at moderate or high levels. These findings have important implications for practice with LGBTQ+ pet owners, as it suggests that high levels of pet attachment may amplify the relation between interpersonal microaggressions and depressive symptoms.</p>","PeriodicalId":46767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of LGBT Youth","volume":"20 3","pages":"658-679"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10406454/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9972280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between PAP, mental health, discrimination, and other sociodemographic variables. A questionnaire, which included the Physical Appearance Perfectionism Scale, was distributed via convenience sampling to Filipinx youth aged 18 to 30 residing in the Philippines. Data collected from 959 Filipinx youth demonstrated that physical appearance perfectionism is high: specifically, the sub-domain of Worry about imperfection. Significant stress and depression were risk factors for PAP in all respondents for both perfectionism domains and, particularly, the sexually diverse youth. Notably, social media as an instigator of these triggers was refuted because Instagram was found to be a protective factor. We concluded that there is a significant relationship between mental health conditions and physical appearance perfectionism. The higher the level of stress and depression, the greater likelihood of PAP. Experience of everyday discrimination may also be a factor in worrying about imperfection and hoping for perfection.","PeriodicalId":46767,"journal":{"name":"Journal of LGBT Youth","volume":"20 1","pages":"179 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41440609","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To address this gap in the literature, in-depth, semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with ten TGD adolescents about their experiences with avatar customization. Thematic analysis revealed four primary themes including that (1) video game avatar customization offers a low stakes environment for gender exploration, (2) avatars offer both internal and external validation of gender identity and transition goals, (3) avatars allow players to enact aspirational appearance goals, and (4) video games and avatars offer immersion and escapism for TGD adolescents.
