Psychological distress among sexual and religious minorities: An examination of power and privilege

Contemporary College Student Anxiety: The Role of Academic Distress, Financial Stress, and Support

“…The most influential sociodemographic variable was gender, which is unsurprising given what is known about anxiety rates in general (Burstein, Beesdo‐Baum, He, & Merikangas, 2014). Our results regarding sexual identity aligned with minority stress theory, with sexual minorities experiencing above‐average rates of distress (Lefevor, Park, & Pedersen, 2018; Meyer, 2003). In the remaining variables, although significant differences emerged between groups, the effect sizes of these comparisons were very small (η 2 < .005).…”

Distress and Therapeutic Outcomes Among Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People of Color

“…Although interaction effects were not significant, this trend indicates that both gender and racial and/or ethnic identity may be important in understanding initial distress. This finding supports reports of previous research rooted in an intersectionality framework suggesting that there are synergistic effects of oppression among individuals with multiple minority identities (Crenshaw, 1989;Lefevor et al, 2017;Lefevor, Park, & Pedersen, 2018).…”

An investigation of quantitative methods for assessing intersectionality in health research: A systematic review

“… Distributions of the outcome by subgroups in the sample could be more reflective of who is represented in the sample. ANOVA based methods ( Fasoli et al, 2018 ; Friedman & Leaper, 2010 ; Greaves et al, 2017 ; Lefevor et al, 2018 ; Manzi et al, 2019 ; Moorman & Harrison, 2016 ; Quandt, 2019 ; Wilson et al, 2017 ) ANOVA methods evaluate whether distributions of a continuous outcome differ between two or more groups. ANCOVA and MANCOVA allow for control of covariates.…”
