“…Consistent with the application of minority stress theory to bisexual health disparities, anti-bisexual experiences have been linked with higher rates of psychological distress and internalizing symptoms in cross-sectional studies (Brewster & Moradi, 2010; Brewster et al, 2013; MacLeod et al, 2015). Of note, Flanders (2015) demonstrated that on days when participants had anti-bisexual experiences they reported higher anxiety.…”

“…Bisexual people face significant health disparities that are theorized to result from the stigmatization of bisexuality (referred to as anti-bisexual stigma; Bostwick, Boyd, Hughes, & McCabe, 2010; Jorm, Korten, Rodgers, Jacomb, & Christensen, 2002). A growing literature demonstrates that anti-bisexual experiences (i.e., experiences of discrimination, bias, and stigmatization based on one’s bisexual identity) and proximal stressors (i.e., internalized stressors arising from stigmatization) are linked with negative mental health outcomes for bisexual individuals (Brewster & Moradi, 2010; Brewster, Moradi, Deblaere, & Velez, 2013; MacLeod, Bauer, Robinson, MacKay, & Ross, 2015). However, almost all existing research on anti-bisexual stigma and mental health has been cross-sectional, limiting our understanding of the psychological processes through which anti-bisexual stigma affects mental health.…”

“…A recent study found that bisexual individuals reported experiencing an average of 1.3 microaggressions per day and that experiencing more frequent microaggressions was associated with increased anxiety (34). Several studies have confirmed that experiences of binegativity are associated with psychological distress and anxiety (30, 35, 36). …”

“…It is also important to consider that the social context where the research takes place may also affect their findings: discrimination and prejudice associated with an LGBTQ identity can affect individuals’ psychological adjustment, relational well-being, and coping processes (Lozano-Verduzco, Fernández-Niño, & Baruch-Domínguez, 2017; MacLeod, Bauer, Robinson, MacKay, & Ross, 2015; Meyer, 1995, 2003; Mohr & Daly, 2008; Ross et al, 2017). Internalized homonegativity/transnegativity is the result of LGBTQ people’s internalization of society’s negative ideology about sexual and gender minorities (Berg, Munthe-Kaas, & Ross, 2016; Hudson & Ricketts, 1980), and thus a valuable indicator of individuals with diverse SOGI well-being.…”

“…In contrast, a positive social factor is feeling connected to other LGBTQ people, which is important for their general and psychological health (self-esteem and well-being), as it brings a sense of identity, self-worth and purpose, and important resources to cope with stress (Cohen, 2004; Frost & Meyer, 2012; Shechner, Slone, Meir, & Kalish, 2010). Having confidence that others will provide efficient emotional support when needed is linked with lower levels of psychological distress, anxiety, or depression (Cohen, 2004; Kindle & Erich, 2005; MacLeod et al, 2015; Moak & Agrawal, 2009). Further, being involved with the LGBTQ community offers positive role models, shapes a positive identity, and protects individuals from heterosexist pressures and oppression (Haldeman, 2007), whereas low connectedness to the LGBTQ community correlates with high levels of social anxiety and internalized homonegativity (Baiocco, Argalia, & Laghi, 2014; Frost & Meyer, 2012; Herek, 2009; Lingiardi, Baiocco, & Nardelli, 2012; MacLeod et al, 2015; Mays & Cochran, 2001; Meyer, 2003; Salvati, Pistella, Ioverno, Laghi, & Baiocco, 2017).…”
