“…Furthermore, with respect to resilience, affiliation motivation may serve as a protective factor for LGB individuals in terms of enabling them to benefit to a greater extent from not only social support provided by others, but possibly many forms of coping strategies. One study demonstrated that the psychological symptoms of a group of inpatients improved to a substantially greater extent for those with stronger affiliation motivation (Ratto & Hurley, 1995). The researchers speculated that those with stronger affiliative needs may have felt less threatened in the group therapy setting, enhancing their sense of security, and therefore allowing them to benefit to a greater extent from the therapeutic social interaction.…”

In the context of existing theory and research, strategies and processes that may contribute to resilience and coping among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals in the face of devaluing, prejudice, and discrimination are examined. Resilience is positive adaptation and development under conditions of risk and adversity (Luthar & Cicchetti, 2000; Rutter, 2012; Shiner & Masten, 2012). Attempts to maintain health and well-being are shaped as a function of the social environment resources available to LGB individuals at a given time and individuals’ personal characteristics. Social environment resources include interpersonal (social support), institutional (school, workplace, and governmental support), and community resources. Personal characteristics identified as likely to influence the types of emotion regulation strategies employed are social motivation, emotional openness, hope and optimism, and positive LGB identity, in addition to the Five Factor Model traits (Costa & McCrae, 1992) and coping styles (Carver & Scheier, 1994; Zeidner & Endler, 1996). A variety of emotion regulation strategies may be enlisted within heterosexist situations to diminish the experience of negative emotions, and increase or enhance the experience of positive emotions.

“…Members’ and leaders’ ratings of group climate also associated positively, consistently, and about equally with group-based Hour 46 ratings for acceptance of self and acceptance of others. In combination with other affiliativeness indicators, the present group climate measures were associated with decreased psychiatric symptoms among rehospitalized Veterans Administration inpatients in an intensive group psychotherapy program (Ratto & Hurley, 1995).…”

Measures of acceptance of self and of others that represent central constructs of interpersonal theory were used to rate the within-group conduct of 868 participants near small group Hours 23 and 46. Group outcome indicators included (a) interim residual gains or losses on each acceptance scale, (b) related mean Hour 46 ratings from pooled others, (c) cumulative ratings of emotional climate, and (d) final appraisals. These variables interrelated largely as expected, although separate factors undergirded data from group leaders and members. Direct ratings of overall benefits were associated (median r = ,42) with Hour 46 ratings of self-and other-accepting conduct, but only with gains in self-acceptance despite very large effect-size increments by each acceptance scale. Several outcome measures correlated negatively with the percentage of males in groups. The findings support the relevance of interpersonal theory to smallgroup processes.
