Minority stress in transgender people: A moderated mediation model of stigma, internalized transphobia, resilience, and health
No full textIntroduction: Transgender people often experience stigma because of their gender nonconformity, and this might negatively affect their mental health through internalized transphobia. The ability of coping with stigma depends on protective factors, such as resilience, which might reduce the detrimental effect of stigma on mental health. This study was aimed at applied, as an extension of the Minority Stress Perspective (MSP), the Psychological Mediation Framework (PMF) to a sample of Italian transgender people.
Method: This study assessed different hypotheses based both on MSP and PMF. The main hypothesis concerns a moderated mediation model in which the indirect effect of anti-transgender discrimination on mental health through shame and alienation as indicators of internalized transphobia was hypothesized as being moderated by resilience. All the study’s hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.
Results: The results suggest that alienation mediated the relationship between anti-transgender discrimination and both anxiety and depression, bs = .91 and .60, 95% C.I.s [.17, 2.28] and [.08, 1.56], respectively, whereas shame operated as a mediator of the relationship between anti-transgender discrimination and depression, b = .55, 95% C.I. [.08, 1.55]. Additionally, only one significant moderated indirect effect was found, ω = -.70, 95% C.I. [-1.60, -.14], indicating that the indirect relation of anti-transgender discrimination with anxiety through alienation was conditional on low and moderate levels of resilience, bs = 1.73 and .96, 95% C.I.s [.54, 3.60] and [.22, 2.33].
Conclusion: The moderated-mediation model sheds light on psychological processes that lead both anti-transgender discrimination to affect mental health and protective factors to alleviate the negative effect of stigma on mental health. This model has important implications for clinical practice and psycho-social interventions to reduce stigma and stress
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Approcci affermativi e rilevanza del minority stress nel counseling psicologico con persone LGBT: una revisione della letteratura internazionale
No full textL’acronimo LGBT viene utilizzato per indicare una vastissima gamma di individui – lesbiche, gay, bisessuali, transgender – che, nonostante intuibili differenze legate a diversi orientamenti sessuali e identità di genere, possono essere considerati come classe omogenea in ragione delle specifiche esigenze e delle peculiarità dei percorsi di sviluppo contrassegnati spesso da vissuti di stigmatizzazione e discriminazione. Negli ultimi anni è sensibilmente aumentata la richiesta di aiuto psicologico da parte delle persone appartenenti a tale fascia della popolazione, e ciò rende tanto più necessaria la definizione di obiettivi e strategie di intervento da considerare in tali casi. Il presente contributo intende evidenziare aspetti peculiari, criticità e contesti operativi connessi all’intervento psicologico-clinico affermativo con persone LGBT, con particolare riferimento all’ambito professionale del counseling
A general expression for sequential DNA-fluorescence histograms.
No full textA general expression for time sequences of DNA-fluorescence histograms from flow microfluorometry is given in this paper. Such expression is given in terms of the law of DNA growth along S phase, the flux of cells into S, and the efflux out of M. Special conditions of growth (e.g. the exponential steady-state growth), and the case of blocks in S phase are also analyzed. Some simulations of the expressions obtained are presented
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
