Internalized Homophobia, Language Use, and Relationship Quality in Same-sex Romantic Relationships
Internalized homophobia has adverse relational consequences for same-sex couples. This study highlights language use as a mechanism underlying the association between internalized homophobia and relationship quality. Internalized homophobia is predicted to be negatively associated with language use features, including clout, authenticity, and emotional tone, which are positively related to relationship satisfaction and length. Participants’ (N = 166) written responses to the content of a couple’s discussion about relationship disclosure were analyzed to assess language use variables. Mediation analyses indicated that clout and emotional tone mediated the negative relationship between internalized homophobia and relationship satisfaction. Authenticity mediated the inverse relationship between internalized homophobia and relationship length. The results have implications for understanding and alleviating minority stress in same-sex couples.
期刊介绍:
Communication Reports (CR), published biannually since 1988, is one of two scholarly journals of the Western States Communication Association (WSCA). The journal publishes original manuscripts that are short, data/text-based, and related to the broadly defined field of human communication. The mission of the journal is to showcase exemplary scholarship without censorship based on topics, methods, or analytical tools. Articles that are purely speculative or theoretical, and not data analytic, are not appropriate for this journal. Authors are expected to devote a substantial portion of the manuscript to analyzing and reporting research data.
