Psychosocial Adjustment Profiles of Gay and Lesbian Individuals Involved in Marital Relations: A Cluster-Based Analysis

“…However, regarding studies with LG people, specifically, they have used, above all, the analytical approach centered on variables, that is, they seek to measure variables to explore links between risk, protection, and adaptive patterns through multivariate statistical analyses, without characterizing the individuality of the sample (Masten, 2015). In the systematic review of the literature between resilience and LG people performed by Lira and Morais (2018b), out of the 31 articles found in the electronic databases PsycINFO and PubMed up to 2015, only two studies used a quantitative person-centered approach (Bonanno, Moskowitz, Papa, & Folkman, 2005;Livingston et al, 2015). One of these studies, for example, was conducted by Livingston et al, by grouping of clusters, in which they classified distinct personality profiles among young LGB adults: adaptive (lower neuroticism and higher extroversion, kindness, awareness, and openness); and at risk (higher neuroticism and kindness, conscientiousness, and openness and lower extroversion).…”
