一般来说(即在异规范和顺式样本中),真实性似乎可以防止对福祉的威胁。真实性也可能,在某种程度上,保护福祉免受性未成年人化经历的少数群体压力源(LGB;女同性恋,同性恋,和双性恋)个人。在这次范围审查中,我们检查了经历少数压力的LGB样本的真实性和幸福感之间的关系。我们假设(I)LGB少数民族压力与降低的真实性(即不真实性)有关,(ii)真实性与增加的福祉有关,(iii)真实性影响LGB少数民族压力与幸福感之间的关系。我们从Medline的系统搜索中确定了17项研究(N=4,653),ProQuest,PsycINFO,和Scopus使用与性身份相关的术语,少数民族压力,真实性,和幸福。在几乎所有的研究中,近端(但不是远端)应力与不真实性有关,和不真实性,幸福感下降。除了一项研究,近端应激和幸福感之间的关联与不真实性相关.尽管这些结果与我们的假设一致,纳入的研究范围有限,方法不均匀,仪器,和样品,限制关于调解或适度的结论。结果需要复制,LGB和非LGB样本之间的强大直接比较,并考虑真实性可以概念化和衡量的各种方式。
In general (i.e. in heteronormative and cisgendered samples),
authenticity appears protective against threats to well-being.
Authenticity may also, in part, protect well-being against the minority stressors experienced by sexually minoritized (LGB; lesbian, gay, and bisexual) individuals. In this scoping
review, we examined the relation between
authenticity and well-being in LGB samples experiencing minority stress. We hypothesized that (i) LGB minority stress relates to decreased
authenticity (i.e. inauthenticity), (ii)
authenticity relates to increased well-being, and (iii)
authenticity influences the relation between LGB minority stress and well-being. We identified 17 studies (N = 4,653) from systematic searches across Medline, ProQuest, PsycINFO, and Scopus using terms related to sexual identity, minority stress, authenticity, and well-being. In almost all studies, proximal (but not distal) stress was associated with inauthenticity, and inauthenticity with decreased well-being. In all but one study, the association between proximal stress and well-being was associated with inauthenticity. Although these results are consistent with our hypotheses, the included studies were limited in scope and heterogenous in their methods, instruments, and samples, restricting conclusions regarding mediation or moderation. The results require replication, well-powered direct comparisons between LGB and non-LGB samples, and consideration of the varied ways authenticity can be conceptualized and measured.
