Advancing research into the social psychology of sexual orientations and gender identities:Current research and future directions
Full text linkOver the past decades, LGBTQ+ issues have been at the centre of politics, social movements, and human rights discussions across the world. Consistent with these developments, there is a growing interest in social psychological research into sexual orientation and gender identities. The emerging research not only taps recent societal developments and the effects of these on LGBTQ+ people; but also focuses on very old research questions of stereotypes and prejudice that are still relevant today. In this special issue, we bring together nine papers addressing several of these issues using qualitative, correlational, and experimental methods with sexual majority and minority samples across different cultural contexts. We discuss the current state of the field and how further research could enhance our understanding of LGBTQ+ issues.</p
Do Concerns about the Deportation of Close Others Increase Willingness to Protest U.S.Immigration Policy? The Roles of Anger, Fear, and Identity Conflict
No full textAmong documented Latinx in the U.S., 40 percent report having a friend or family member who is undocumented. Yet, few studies have considered the impact the risk of deportation for these close others has on Latinx individuals’ political engagement and integration. Social psychologists Shaun Wiley and Yasin Koc will examine how having close relationships with undocumented immigrants impacts immigration activism among Mexican and Central Americans. They will conduct an experiment for their study
Lack of ordinary privileges in a gay men’s life:Navigating through privileged systems
Full text linkResearch on identity development and wellbeing of gay men often focuses on the negative impacts of prejudice and discrimination, and how the negative societal stigma is internalised. However, sexual minority members also do not grow up being exposed to any proper representations of their identities, and they often lack certain ‘ordinary privileges’ in their daily life that deliver belonging to the majority, yet invisibly undermine it for gay men. In turn, gay men struggle to make sense of their own experiences within this unequal system. To expose the other side of discrimination, in this autoethnography, Yasin explores the nature and consequences of lacking ordinary privileges in one’s daily life due to being a member of a sexual minority. Through storytelling, Yasin introduces life narratives touching upon masculinity, sexual positions, and stereotypes eliciting several emotions including fear, shame, anger, and occasionally hope. He discusses these examples within the context of social psychological research with a critique of existing societal structures. Taking an intersectional approach, Yasin also examine links to ethnic and religious identities and discuss how certain intersecting identities amplify the negative impacts. Overall, Yasin proposes an intertwined approach of positive identity development and social change over the glorification of individual resilience falsely based on meritocracy
