“…Of the status markers, neither objective nor subjective social status indices during childhood or present day significantly related to temporal summation across groups. This finding differs from prior work describing significant relationships between social status and physical pain 8 , 28 , 30 , 32 , 40 , 44 , 48 , 57 , 62 , 66 , 81 , 87 and temporal summation. 38 Instead, downward changes in objective (ie, family household income decreased over time) and subjective social status (ie, subjective social status decreased over time) across the lifespan—such that individuals reported a decrease in status since childhood—significantly correlated with greater temporal summation for Latinx-Americans.…”

Previous literature on race/ethnicity and pain has rarely included all major U.S. racial groups or examined the sensitivity of findings to different pain operationalizations. Using data from the 2010-2018 National Health Interview Surveys on adults 18+ (N=273,972), we calculate the weighted prevalence of six definitions of pain to provide a detailed description of chronic pain in White, Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, and multiracial groups. We also estimate logistic models to obtain relative disparities, including net of demographic and socioeconomic (SES) factors; finally, we calculate average predicted probabilities to show prevalence disparities in absolute terms. We find that Asian Americans have the lowest pain prevalence across all pain definitions or model specifications. In contrast, Native American and multiracial adults have the highest pain prevalence. This pain excess is due to the lower SES among Native Americans but remains significant and unexplained among multiracial adults. Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics fall in between. In this trio, Hispanics have the lowest prevalence, an advantage not attributable to immigrant status or SES. While most prior research focused on Black-White comparisons, these two groups differ relatively little. Blacks report lower prevalence of less severe pain definitions than Whites, but higher prevalence of severe pain. Net of SES, however, Blacks have significantly lower pain across all definitions. Overall, racial disparities are larger than previously recognized once all major racial groups are included, and these disparities are largely consistent across different operationalizations of pain.

“…Collecting such demographic data may also help develop a better understanding of the intersections of sexual and gender orientation and kink identities. This is particularly important for developing a more nuanced understanding that builds on Crenshaw's (1989) intersectionality theory delineating the societal forces that so often work against already marginalized communities (e.g., Quiton et al, 2020).…”

Psychology of Sexual Orientation and Gender Diversity

Sexual kinks have generated increased cultural and scholarly interest in the 21st century in large part due to the community engagement and activism of early sexual and gender minority (SGM) kink practitioners. However, compared with their heterosexual, cisgender peers, there is relatively little available research studying the experiences of SGM kink practitioners. This is a particularly timely topic to address due to the American Psychological Association's (APA) recent addition of sexual health to their Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Sexual Minority Persons. The present project synthesized relevant literature with SGM kink practitioners. Content analysis methodologies used in previous SGM projects were utilized to identify the current state of empirical and nonempirical literature with SGM kink practitioners. Results indicated that most of the empirical literature consists of online, cross-sectional survey studies with predominantly White samples. Most studies with SGM participants recruited from BDSM (bondage and discipline, domination and submission, and sadism and masochism) organizations or community groups, highlighting the importance of forging relationships with the SGM kink community to facilitate engagement with psychological research. Future studies with SGM kink practitioners will contribute to the existing research body by intentionally seeking out Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) participants to generate a more comprehensive understanding of the unique sexual health concerns of BIPOC SGM kink practitioners. Further, most empirical and nonempirical literature focused on sexual behaviors within this community, which may inadvertently dehumanize SGM kink practitioners by omitting antecedent experiences that contribute to sexual health. More research is necessary to elucidate the relationships between developmental experiences and sexual health domains. Public Significance StatementThis study examined research trends in the psychological literature studying sexual and gender minority (SGM) kink practitioners over the last 20 years. Results highlight disparities in the racial composition of research samples, with White kink practitioners appearing in research at significantly higher rates than Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC). There is also a relative lack of information about the relationships between kink practitioners' development and sexual health.
