“…Firstly, activists (defined as people who declared belonging to at least one activist group) showed significantly higher attitudes toward engagement in collective actions aimed at improving the situation of LGBT+ people in Poland. This result may be consistent with research indicating that activist identity may be a significant predictor of intentions to engage in activism, both high-and low-risk [36,48].…”

(1) Background: This paper presents an analysis of the associations between minority stressors and activism in the population of lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals in Poland. (2) Methods: The cross-sectional online-based research was conducted among 192 lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people in two groups: activists (n = 51) and people not engaged in activism (n = 141). Four scales of the Sexual Minority Stress Scale were used: Internalized Homophobia, Expectation of Rejection, Concealment, and Sexual Minority Negative Events Scale. Activism was measured using the Activism Scale and a single item asking about belonging to an activist group. (3) Results: Activists, lesbians, and gays scored significantly higher in the Sexual Minority Negative Events than people not involved in activism and bisexual individuals. Attitude toward LGBT+ activism correlated weakly and positively with Sexual Minority Negative Events and Expectation of Rejection while negatively with Internalized Homophobia. The Network Analysis showed that positive attitudes toward LGBT+ activism, the expectation of rejection, and negative events in minority stress are the most influential variables in the network model, playing a crucial role in the interaction between particular dimensions of minority stress. (4) Conclusions: Prevention and intervention programs should focus on reducing minority stress, especially negative events and rejection, especially among lesbians, gays, and people engaged in LGBT+ activism. The cooperation of politicians, lawyers, social workers, and psychologists is required to decrease homophobia and the stigmatization of people representing sexual and gender minorities.

“…Regarding the second research question (RQ2), the TPB provided a conceptual framework for exploring the experiences of diverse youth activists and their help-seeking behavior (Jew & Tran, 2020;Lee et al, 2019). Specifically, the study's themes supported the influence of TPB components, such as mental health stigma, on the help-seeking intentions of youth activists.…”

“…The TPB has been utilized in activist research to: (a) explore the intent of activists to participate in different forms of activism (i.e., behavior intent), (b) identify predictors of activist identity (i.e., attitudes and perceived behavioral control), and (c) develop models inclusive of additional constructs (i.e., human rights awareness). For example, Jew and Tran (2020) studied the intentions of low-risk and high-risk activists when activist identity was a mediator. The researchers concluded that attitudes and perceived behavioral control accounted for 32% of the variance between low-risk and high-risk activist identities.…”

Recent tensions in society have led to protests and demonstrations to raise awareness and consciousness ultimately for change. These efforts can be draining. Domestic increases in youth activism has illustrated transformative community action as well as the need to determine themes related to activist sustainability and mental health. Therefore, a phenomenological study was conducted to explore Millennial and Generation Z activist mental health perceptions and engagement during times of protest including COVID-19. The voice of seven youth activists regarding their experience with concurrent activism and mental health maintenance were explored. Themes derived from interviews with these young adult activists about their mental health behaviors, included: wellness maintenance, mindset, and technology. Intentions of youth activists to participate in integrated care were discussed. Implications and suggestions for counselors and helping professions are provided.

“…To describe activism behaviors, many scholars mentioned classical social theories that tried to define human behavior within groups and communities (e.g., Fielding et al, 2008;Jew & Tran, 2020;Holahan & Lubell, 2016;Wilkinson & Sagarin, 2010). As suggested by Jew and Tran (2020), among these classic conceptual perspectives, there is the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Derived from the Theory of Reasoned Action, TPB has been used to describe activism behaviors (Torres-Harding, Siers, & Olson, 2012;Wang, 2020).…”

Considering the recent attention to challenges regarding sustainability even within career issues, this study is aimed at providing the development and initial validation of the instrument “Thoughts, Feelings, and Actions about Whatever Does not go as It Should” (TFA) which may be used in career counseling and research activities to assess activism towards environmental and social sustainability in career guidance. With this aim, two different studies were carried out. In the first study, after having developed items and having examined content validity, the factorial structure and the reliability of the instrument was tested. The second study tested the discriminant validity with measures of career adaptability, propensity to sustainability in taking decisions about one’s future, and life satisfaction. Results showed good psychometric support for the TFA instrument for the Italian population. Moreover, the results obtained showed as the total score and the sub-factors score of TFA are related but distinct from the constructs considered, suggesting that workers with higher levels of these dimensions are characterized by greater career adaptability, propensity to sustainability in taking decisions about own future, and life satisfaction.
