“…The findings of this study indicate that there is a significant positive relationship between creativity and the performance of high school chemistry teachers (Sumiyati, 2018). Instructors can also influence employees' cognitive and work styles (skills relevant to creativity) based on role modeling, evaluation, and mastery experience (Knutson et al, 2018). Organizations can focus on screening prior to hiring employees based on task expertise and cognitive skills that are important for creativity.…”

“…Teachers are people who must be willing to continue to strive to be professionals by incorporating new knowledge into daily learning practices, and HRM can be seen as a way for schools to offer their teachers opportunities for lasting professionalization. In conclusion, all over the world schools face difficulties to create enough highly qualified teachers (Knutson et al, 2018), And especially if the school can make it happen, many young teachers leave their jobs due to the fact that the work area doesn't live up to their expectations (Hämäläinen et al, 2021). The HRM system can help schools in their efforts to retain reasonably competent and motivated teachers (Loeb et al, 2012).…”

“…Emerging evidence indicates that some drag performers experience elevated rates of depression relative to LGBTQ+ people who do not perform in drag (Knutson & Koch, 2019). Some drag performers also report negative emotions and elevated alcohol use (Knutson et al, 2018; Tillewein & Kruse-Diehr, 2021). Researchers suggest that drag performers may be negatively impacted by compound oppression related to sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and other marginalized identities and/or that people who experience compound oppression engage in drag performance (Levitt et al, 2018).…”

“…Drag performers report experiencing discrimination within the LGBTQ+ community due to internalized heterosexism (Levitt et al, 2018). Drag performers report difficulty connecting with others and/or making friends in the LGBTQ+ community outside of their drag persona (Knutson et al, 2018). In other words, during social encounters, drag performers are expected to behave as they would in drag or to talk about drag almost exclusively.…”

“…In other words, during social encounters, drag performers are expected to behave as they would in drag or to talk about drag almost exclusively. Drag performers also report experiencing rejection from potential romantic partners after it is discovered that the performer is connected to drag (Knutson et al, 2018). Social media platforms may serve as conduits for increased pressure, expectations, and rancor communicated by fellow performers and fans.…”

Researchers and scholars suggest that aspects of drag performance (e.g., social connections, creative achievement) increase resilience in LGBTQþ communities. Scholars also suggest, however, that drag performance exposes performers to risk and performers may be more depressed than other LGBTQþ people. Researchers have yet to demonstrate ways that different aspects of drag performance (e.g., social support, creative achievement) may relate to depression and resilience for drag performers. To address this gap in the literature, researchers administered surveys to 163 drag performers who were 18 years old or older. Participants completed measures of drag involvement, creativity, social relationships (with family and friends), depression, and resilience. The researchers tested two competing nonparametric hierarchical regression models, one that predicted depression and another that predicted resilience. In the depression model, higher quality of both family and friend relationships predicted lower levels of depression. In the resilience model, higher quality of friend relationships predicted higher levels of resilience. In step 2 of the resilience model, creativity shared a curvilinear association with resilience. Implications for health research and LGBTQþ resilience are discussed. Recommendations for future research with drag performers include expanded investigations of family relationships and of the role of creativity in social support and resilience. Public Significance StatementThis study provides additional evidence of elevated depression rates in drag performance populations, but it goes a step further by exploring resilience dynamics in drag performers. In particular, social support and some aspects of creativity were associated resilience, suggesting that drag may be used as a therapeutic, community-building tool by health professionals.
