“…Collective self-esteem is an appraisal of one's social identity (Crocker & Major, 1989). Among LGBTQ individuals, higher self-esteem has been associated with higher self-forgiveness (Greene & Britton, 2013), lower shame proneness (Greene & Britton, 2013), religiosity (Dahl & Galliher, 2010), early acceptance/recognition of an LGBTQ identity (Swann & Spivey, 2004), family acceptance (Snapp, Watson, Russell, Diaz, & Ryan, 2015), social support and social connectedness (Austin & Goodman, 2017), active coping (Zea, Reisen, & Poppen, 1999), outness (Kosciw, Palmer & Kull, 2015), and collective self-esteem (Zea et al, 1999). Higher levels of self-esteem are thought to help reduce anxiety (Pyszczynski et al, 2004).…”

“…Quanto aos participantes, observa-se que, assim como na revisão anterior, os estudos recentes sobre o autoperdão também têm trabalhado predominantemente com estudantes universitários, até mesmo para tratar de questões específicas como problemas com álcool (Webb et al, 2013a), desordem alimentar (Feibelman, & Turner, 2015), sintomas depressivos (Hirsch et al, 2011), personalidade boderline (Law, & Chapman, 2015), problemas com jogo (Squires et al, 2012), vício em cigarros (Wohl, & Thompson, 2011) e vivência de violência íntima (Davidson et al, 2015). Apesar de em menor quantidade, foram encontrados estudos que trabalharam com populações específicas e não universitárias, como idosos (Cheavens et al, 2016;Ingersoll-Dayton, Torges, & Krause, 2010;Krause, 2015), mulheres com câncer de mama (Friedman et al, 2007;Romero et al, 2006), minorias sexuais LGBTQ (Greene, & Britton, 2013), adolescentes que praticam ou praticaram autoinjúria (Westers, Rehfuss, Olson, & Biron, 2012) e estudos de casos com pacientes com doença crônica (Hong, & Jacinto, 2012) e desordem alimentar (anorexia) (Lander, 2012).…”

“…Some may develop feelings of internalised homonegativity, namely, the perception and acceptance that being gay is negative (Reilly and Rudd 2006), or shame, which encapsulates a range of emotions such as humiliation, inferiority (Greene and Britton 2013) or even selfhatred (Irvine 2009). …”
