Suicidal ideation in gay and lesbian young adults: the role of internalized sexual stigma
Introduction. Suicide is considered an issue of particular relevance in the context of health: it is the third leading cause of death among adolescents and young adults between the ages of 15 and 26 years and 60% of the transitions from suicidal ideation to first suicide attempt occurred within the first year of ideation onset (Laghi, Baiocco, D'Alessio, & Gurrieri, 2009). Strong consensus in research literature exists that suicide risk is higher among gays and lesbians. This expectation is consistent with to Minority Stress Model (Meyer, 2003) affirming that a minority position, just like minority sexual orientation, can afford disadvantages or stresses due to individual and institutional discrimination and stigmatization that can contribute to vulnerability for suicide (Lingiardi, Baiocco, & Nardelli, 2012). Aims. The purpose of this is study was to identify demographic, social and psychological associated risk factors for suicidal ideation in gay and lesbian young adults and to understand the influence of discrimination on the mental health of sexual minorities. Methods. We conducted a cross-sectional study in Italy (N=400) using snowball sampling in order to recruit gay and lesbian young adults. We obtained data using a structured questionnaire addressing suicidal ideation, religion involvment, peer and parental attachment, past experiences of victimization at school, depression, internalized sexual stigma and disclosure of sexual orientation. Administration of tests was carried out through self-administred computer-based. Computerized questions had advantages for the recruit of people who didn’t make public own sexual orientation. Results. Using the Chi square and multivariable logistic regression analyses we identified consistent risk factors for suicidal ideation: having lower level of peer and parental attachment, having depressive symptoms, having high levels of internalized sexual stigma and past experiences of victimization at school. A 2X2 (Gender x Age) MANOVA was conducted on Internalized Sexual Stigma. There were a main effect of gender. The highest levels of sexual stigma were reported by gay men. Discussion and Implications. We found the relevant effect of internalized sexual stigma and self disclosure of sexual orientation on the development of suicidal ideation. Our results confirmed that a negative relationship with parents and peers and experiences of victimization in the past were important variables predicting suicidal ideation. Another important finding was the role of religion as protective factor against the suicidal ideation. We assumed that higher prevalence of suicidal ideation among LGB was not merely indicative of persistent stress that may have had its origins in the sexual orientation but rather should be understood in a stigmatizing and discriminating context of belonging

Abstract: The earthquake that involved Central Italy in 2016, in addition to its disruptive effects on
people, heritage and social capital, cracking the fragile balance of economic and demographic
systems, has greatly amplified the attention paid small municipalities, on the Apennines Mountains.
Summing the Small Municipalities Law and the National Strategy for Internal Areas, a sole large-
scale project affecting the so-called "earthquake crater" of Central Italy can be outlined and
presented as a widespread reconstruction work, in the name of safety and technical, technological,
administrative and planning innovation. Despite the magnitude of the objectives, the dislocation of
damages, the distribution and over-provision of historical, public and private assets, the particularity
of the places involved, characterized by extreme specificity and inhabited by local micro-
communities with a strong local identity, are likely to enhance little programmatic tools. Assuming
the necessity of a context-based and collaborative approach to producing effective change at the
local and regional scale, the question is: how to make possible and support a local pro -active and co-
operative environment? By focusing on the collaboration developed in 2017 between the
Municipality of Bolognola and the IUAV University, the paper explores the possibility of co-
designing an action plan for post-earthquake development
Un questionario di personalità per la valutazione dei fattori di rischio in adolescenza: il Questionario Multidimensionale per Adolescenti (QMA)
RIASSUNTO. Introduzione: La ricerca descrive la costruzione e la validazione di un nuovo questionario denominato Questionario Multidimensionale per Adolescenti (QMA; Baiocco, Couyoumdjian e Del Miglio, 2003). Il questionario è costituito da 2 scale di controllo e 11 scale di contenuto: Ricerca di sensazioni, Stabilità emotiva, Impulsività, Aggressività, Alessitimia, Introversione sociale, Gregarismo, Sostegno pratico, Sostegno emotivo, Spinta dei genitori all’autonomia, Capacità metacognitive. Metodi: Lo studio ha valutato l’attendibilità e la validità fattoriale dello strumento in un campione di studenti delle scuole medie superiori (N = 336). La validità convergente è stata indagata verificando le correlazioni con strumenti che valutano variabili di personalità relative all’attaccamento e all’autoefficacia. Risultati: L’analisi della varianza condotta ha permesso di verificare differenze di genere statisticamente significative. L’analisi fattoriale ha rilevato una soluzione a tre fattori coerente con un’interpretazione psicologica. Il QMA ha dimostrato inoltre un’adeguata attendibilità interna ed una buona validità convergente. Conclusioni: Il QMA è stato creato allo scopo principale di poter disporre, nel contesto italiano, di uno strumento che valuti alcune variabili psicologiche rilevanti nella descrizione dei comportamenti a rischio in adolescenza

Homophobic Bullying and Internalized Stigma among Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Youth: What Influence Does a Positive Identity Have?
It is well established in the literature that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) students are more likely to be bullied at school compared to heterosexual students (Kann et al., 2016). There also has been strong evidence of the detrimental impact of homophobic bullying (HB) on the well-being of LGB youth. In fact, LGB students who are victims of HB are more likely to internalize negative prejudice on LGB people reporting high levels of internalized sexual stigma (ISS) (Baiocco et al., 2010; Blais et al., 2014; Collier et al., 2013). However, important gaps remain in research on coping strategies that may enable LGB youth to overcome the negative effect of HB. Some studies found that the positive valence associated with LGB identity was positively associated with psychological well-being in LGB individuals (Riggle et al., 2014). Thus, we argue that a positive LGB identity may have a critical role in buffering the negative impact of HB on ISS.
Participants were 358 Italian LGB youth (58% girls). Among them, 128 self-identified as gay (36%), 116 as lesbian (33%), and 114 as bisexual (31%). Participants’ ages ranged from 15 to 23 (M = 17.82, SD = 2.36).
The Multifactor Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Positive Identity Measure (Riggle et al., 2014) was used to investigate positive LGB identity. We used the Measure of Internalized Sexual Stigma for Lesbians and Gay Men (Lingiardi et al., 2012) to assess ISS. Finally, two items were used to assess HB, based on the work of Solberg & Olweus (2003).
We ran a series of hierarchical regression analyses to test the moderating role of positive LGB identity on the association between HB and ISS.
The results showed a significant positive main effect of HB, β=.18, p<.001, and a significant negative main effect of positive LGB identity, β =–.40, p<.001. There was a significant interaction effect of HB by positive LGB identity, β =–.12, p=.031. Follow-up analyses showed that among participants with low levels of positive LGB identity, high levels of HB were significantly associated with high levels of ISS, β=.32, p<.001. However, the association between HB and ISS was non-significant for participants with high levels of positive identity, β=.05,p=.48. The Johnson–Neyman technique indicated that the interaction effect was present at low and relatively medium levels of positive identity. The model explained the 24% of the variance.
Findings point to the importance of studying the development of positive identities among LGB youth. In fact, the valence associated with LGB identity may have an important role in predicting health disparities based on sexual orientation. Our results suggest that developing positive identities is an important coping strategy and it serves an important secondary prevention function by reducing the negative effects of HB. Implications for intervention and educational practice will be discussed
Gay father families via surrogacy: Does experienced social stigma impact on children's well-being?
Alongside the recent legal and technical advancements in assisted reproductive technologies an increasing number of gay men are having children through surrogacy. Nevertheless, in the Italian societal context, gay fathers are exposed to a great amount of stigma due to their “multiminority status” (Armesto, 2002) by being gay men and being fathers. As a result, important questions about the combined effect of these factors on children’s well-being need to be addressed. To our knowledge, the present study is the first to examine how children develop in gay father families by surrogacy, taking into account the role of social stigma attached to this emerging family form. Data were obtained by 56 Italian gay fathers (Mage = 44.3, SDage = 5.5), with middle to high socioeconomic status and level of education. All children (Mage = 2.38, SDage = 2) were conceived via gestational surrogacy sought in America or in Canada. Participants were asked to respond to Coparenting Scale-Revised (McHale, 1999), Dyadic Adjustment Scale – Short Form (Hunsley et al., 2001), Flexibility and Cohesion Evaluation Scale-IV (Olson, 2011), Social Stigma Questionnaire (Baiocco et al., 2016), and Strenghts and Difficulties Questionnaire (Goodman, 1997) administered through an anonymous survey online. Findings from hierarchical multiple regression analysis suggested that higher levels of experienced social stigma predicted more children’s difficulties in families with lower levels of family integrity (β = -.26, p = .05, Adj R2 = .32), dyadic adjustment (β = -.29, p = .01, Adj R2 = .31), and family satisfaction (β = -.21, p = .06, Adj R2 = .33). The parental status (β = .16, p = n.s., Adj R2 = .03) did not predict psychological problems in children. The present study increases theoretical understanding of the mechanisms through which parenting influences child development, particularly in relation to parental gender and sexual orientation, and biological connectedness between the parents and the child
