Stennett, Sabrina. "Minority stress in people who identify as transgender : testing the minority stress model." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2016. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/36582/.

Abstract:
Objectives: People who identify as transgender are reported to experience high levels of mental health problems in comparison to people who do not identify as transgender. The minority stress model has been used to explain these high prevalence rates. But this model was designed to be used in lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) populations (Meyer, 1995, 2003). Researchers have applied some of the hypothesised processes of the model to people who identify as transgender. However, evidence testing the minority stress model in this population is limited. The model postulates that minority stress processes (namely, distal stress, internalised stigma, vigilance and concealment) lead to adverse mental health outcomes. It also states that coping and social support moderate and ameliorate the stress processes. However research on this aspect is inconclusive, with other researchers stating that coping and social support meditate the relationship between internalised stigma and psychological distress. In light of the current literature, this research aimed to test the application of the minority stress model in a sample of people who identified as transgender. It also aimed to test the moderating and mediating roles of coping and social support. Furthermore, this research endeavoured to develop an alternative model (i.e. based on the findings and the literature). Methods: A cross-sectional design was used. Participants were recruited from transgender forums, social groups, transgender events and social media. Those who identified as transgender, under the umbrella term, were invited to complete an online survey (N = 270; mean age = 27.5). The majority of participants (60.4%) described their gender identity as trans women. Results: Multiple linear regression, mediation and moderation analyses were conducted. Results showed that, individually, all the stress processes (distal stress process, internalised stigma, vigilance and concealment) were significantly associated with psychological distress. However, when assessed in combination, only certain stress processes emerged as being significant. With internalised stigma emerging as being significant in all the regression models (i.e. depression, anxiety and stress). No moderation effects were found for coping and social support. Instead, passive coping and social support were found to partially mediate the relationship between internalised stigma and psychological distress. Structural equation modelling was also used to develop hypothesised models based on this data. Conclusion: Limited support was found for the minority stress model within this sample. Hypothesised models were developed instead, to highlight the stress processes involved in depression, anxiety and stress. However, future research is warranted to test these models.

Abstract:
This commentary outlines how my published works have contributed to knowledge on violence against black and minority ethnic (BME) or minority women in the UK, particularly in relation to domestic violence, forced marriage and so called 'honour' based violence (HBV). They help to define and enhance our understanding of these issues. In addition, they have critiqued multiculturalism and influenced, advocated and developed the former Home Office Minister, Mike O'Brien's concept of 'mature multiculturalism' (Parliamentary Debates, 1999; also cited in Home Office, 2000:10), and utilised the theoretical framework of intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989 and 1991) to address these problems. I have also located my works within the framework of violence against women and girls (VAWG), secularism, equalities and human rights. My publications have reflected upon and influenced policy, practice and research, and as such, contributed to documenting the history and achievements of black feminism.

Abstract:
The aim of the thesis was to examine IPV within BME communities with a particular focus on the South Asian community. Chapter one presents a generic review of treatment on IPV victims. By examining nine studies, seven studies did not examine ethnic differences and findings suggest that interventions are more effective when there is a combination of CBT and advocacy service in reducing psychological effects and re-abuse. Looking at interventions on an individual level (Chapter 2), it was also found that in work with a female BME patient who had suffered from IPV, CBT was effective in reducing the distress she was experiencing from her delusion’s and psychotic beliefs. A number of risk factors were also identified within the assessment stage indicating the likelihood of the patient becoming a victim of IPV. Chapter three provides a critique of the CTS-2 highlighting its cultural applicability in assessing IPV within South Asian communities. Therefore, the CTS-2 was used in the empirical research presented in Chapter 4 to investigate whether differences exist in rates of IPV in South Asian and non South Asian participants. The study found high levels of severe physical violence and associations between participants’ beliefs and their use of violence within relationships.

"Att vara minoritet i en mansdominerad idrottskultur : En kvalitativ studie om innebandytränares perspektiv på kvinnors underrepresentation inom svensk innebandy." Thesis, Umeå universitet, Pedagogiska institutionen, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-162813.

Full text
Abstract:
Syftet med studien var att få en bättre förståelse och bredare kunskap om problematiken runt kvinnors underrepresentation som tränare inom svensk innebandy. Inom idrotten är ledarskap ett mansdominerat område och världen över hamnar kvinnor i en minoritetsposition. Studien belyser problemet utifrån en sociokulturell teori med fokus på att förstå de sociala strukturer som format en idrottskultur som är manligt kodad. För att få en fördjupad förståelse har det teoretiska ramverket kombinerats med ett genus- och organisationsperspektiv. Det avgränsade syftet med studien var att genom innebandytränares uppfattningar analysera vad i idrottskulturen och genusstrukturen som har betydelse för att det är fler män än kvinnor som är tränare inom innebandy, samt via innebandytränares uppfattningar undersöka potentiella förändringar som kan vidtas för att öka antalet kvinnor som innebandytränare. Studiens resultat baseras på data skapat genom fyra fokusgrupper med totalt 13 huvudtränare inom innebandy, där både kvinnor och mäns perspektiv på och erfarenheter av problemet inkluderades. Studiens resultat visar bland annat på svårigheter för kvinnor att kliva fram och respekteras som innebandytränare och att kvinnor får ett annorlunda bemötande jämfört med manliga kollegor. Ytterligare ett centralt resultat från studien är behovet av förebilder för barn och ungdomar för att förändra synen på kvinnor i tränarpositioner. Vi kan med stöd från studiens resultat och analys säga att idrottskulturen inom svensk innebandy består av traditionell genusstruktur som skapar mindre möjligheter för kvinnor att bli och vara tränare inom innebandy.

Ross, Sujatha P. "Identities of employed ethnic minority women." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2000. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/22603.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is an attempt to see the ways in which employed, ethnic minority women discursively construct their identities and the pragmatic functions the respective identities serve for them. The empirical framework within which the above study has been undertaken derives from a combination of conversation analysis and discourse analysis. The women who participated in the study came from four ethnic minority groups: African, Indian, Pakistani and Chinese. The thesis addresses three main themes. First, the thesis begins by critically reviewing theoretical frameworks such as social identity theory, acculturation and assimilation approaches, and black identity formation theory. These tend to understand minority identity in terms of its relationship to the dominant (white) community. It is argued that this fails to account for the way in which ethnic minorities themselves give meaning to their identities. The present study, by seeing identities as discursively constructed, addresses the above issue and gives subjective voice to the women who contributed as participants. Second, the thesis moves on to discuss whether the women see belonging to a minority group and aspects of minority culture as indicators of ethnic identity. Empirical analyses of the women's accounts are used to show that the women resist being limited by the categorisations imposed on them by minority group membership and minority group culture. Instead, the women can be seen to discursively construct what it is to belong to a minority group and to be involved in a minority culture. In the process, the women create particular identities and resist ascription of other identities. In doing so, the issue of agency is brought out. Third, the thesis moves beyond ethnicity to consider other aspects of the women's lives such as employment. Traditionally, research in the area of employment which focuses on career development has claimed that employment choice is related to type of person. Recent research has tended to place more emphasis on showing the effects of race, class and gender. In the present study, when women talked of work and identity, they can be seen to reject the notion that work is always associated with being a particular type of person. In formulating these rejections, the women can be seen to draw on a number of personal circumstances.

Abstract:
Sexual minorities face identity-specific stressors (minority stress). Minority stress often predicts worse health outcomes and behaviors, like increased substance use. The current study examined the relationship between proximal minority stress and hazardous alcohol use. Possible mediators were considered. The current study involved a secondary data analysis of data from 48 sexual minority women who completed an online survey. Measures included the Lesbian Internalized Homophobia Scale, the Connectedness to the LGBT Community Scale, the AUDIT-5, the Drinking Motives scale, and an item that measured frequency of drinking. Data, analyzed via R, included t-tests, correlations, regression, and mediational analyses. Results showed that internalized stigma significantly predicted concealment. Community connectedness was neither predicted by internalized stigma nor correlated with concealment. Concealment did not predict coping motives; coping motives significantly predicted problematic drinking. Limitations included a low sample size and low observed power. Therefore, significant results may be found with a higher sample size.

Full text
Abstract:
This exploratory study investigates how racialized immigrant women experience and respond to intimate partner abuse (IPA). The American and European models of intersectionality theory are used to highlight structural constraints and agentic responses as experienced and enacted by racialized immigrant women. Eight women described their experiences through semi-structured interviews, revealing an array of both defensive and pro-active types of strategies aimed at short- and long-term outcomes. Responses included aversion, negative reinforcement or coping strategies like prayer or self-coaching, and accordingly varied by the constraints under which the women lived as newcomers to Canada. Policy recommendations promote acknowledgement of women’s decision-making abilities and provide a model in which women can choose from a selection of options in how to respond, rather than strictly interventionist models. Study results can help to challenge stereotypes of abused women as passive victims, and empower the image of immigrant women as active knowers of their circumstances.

Abstract:
Sexual minority women experience a number of physical and mental health disparities compared to their heterosexual peers. One factor contributing to this disparity is access to care, of which sexual minority women also report having less than heterosexual women. In this study I examine predictors of sexual minority women's access to care in three ecological contexts: structural, community, and interpersonal. Eighty-eight sexual minority women 22 and older from Davidson County, TN responded to an online survey that gathered information about demographic factors and various aspects access to care including accessing healthcare systems, gaining access within the system, and patient/provider relationships. Multiple regression analysis was used to determine whether demographic factors were significant predictors of access to care. Age, education, and degree to which participants were open with others about their sexual orientation were significant predictors of access. Results point to significant differences in access to care within this population that has multiple marginalized identity statuses, indicating a need for attention to within-population access needs. Sexual minority women who are younger, less educated, and less out to others about their sexual orientation may be at increased risk to face barriers to care. Implications for practice and policy include a need for increased cultural competence of healthcare providers, and changes in policies that will close the insurance gap between heterosexual and sexual minority adults in the U.S.

Kamenou, Nicolina. "Ethnic minority women in English organisations : career experiences and opportunities." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2002. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/2433/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the career experiences and opportunities of ethnic minority women through a critical review and analysis of the current literature and new empirical work. It seeks to give visibility to ethnic minority women's experiences by adopting a qualitative methodology, which provides the participants with the time and space to convey, and reflect on, their views. The focus is placed on the participants' perceptions, attitudes or concerns with regard to their careers and how their career choices may impact on other aspects of their lives, such as family and community expectations and responsibilities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with ethnic minority women as the main sample, with managers in two case study organisations and with a smaller sample of ethnic minority men, white women and men. The rationale for this was to provide an insight into the broader organisational context ethnic minority women work and strive to succeed. It is argued that ethnic minority women's experiences at work has been an under-researched area, where research involving women in management has been generalised to include all women regardless of 'race', ethnicity or class. The theoretical framework adopted for this study acknowledges an interaction between the dimensions of structure, culture and agency in the analysis of career experiences and opportunities. The structural dimension includes organisational and family structure, and culture is divided into organisational and social group culture. Agency is the final dimension of the framework, where the effect of strategies and personal determination on career experiences and opportunities is examined. Ethnic minority women are seen as social actors within organisational and social group structures and cultures, which may affect their strategies and plans and may also be affected by them. The empirical work undertaken for this study has indicated that the majority of ethnic minority women participants occupy lower levels of the organisational hierarchy, they face racial and gender stereotypes which are often exacerbated by stereotypical perceptions concerning their culture and religion, they have problems identifying mentors and are often excluded from influential networks. If these women ascribe to their cultural or religious expectations, they face tensions between balancing work and private life expectations. Ethnic minority women's agency, in the form of career strategies and determination, IS deemed to be a crucial factor in their career experiences and opportunities.

Abstract:
Rural populations are traditionally understudied, especially as it is concerned with the experiences of sexual minority women. Previous research has found that sexual minorities experience worse health outcomes in comparison to heterosexual individuals, which could be due to minority stress (the unique stressors they face as sexual minorities, such as discrimination and concealment of sexual orientation) (Meyer, 2003). More recent research has found that the relationship between minority stress and health outcomes has been mediated by social variables, like social isolation (Hatzenbuehler et al., 2009). Thus, the current study examined the indirect effects of proximal minority stress of concealment on self-rated health and quality of life through various social factors (community connectedness, social support, indirect support seeking, and belongingness). Participants included 134 sexual minority women in Northeast Tennessee. Participants completed the following measures: the Short Form LIHS (Szynmanski & Chung, 2001); Indirect Social Seeking Scale (Barbee & Cunningham, 1995); the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, & Farley, 1988); the Belongingness Scale (Malone et al., 2012); the Connectedness to the LGBT Community Scale (Frost & Meyer, 2012); WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization, 1998); SF36v2 (Health Survey, 1996). In order to test that belongingness, social support, indirect support seeking, and community connectedness mediated the relationship between concealment to quality of life and self-rated health, a mediational analysis was conducted using PROCESS (Hayes, 2014) macro. Analysis showed that concealment was indirectly linked through belongingness with quality of life and self-related health. Concealment significantly predicted belongingness (b = -.327, p = .021), which in turn significantly predicted self-rated health life (b = .214, p = .004) and quality of life (b = .251, p < .001). A mediational analysis was conducted, and it was found that concealment had an indirect effect on self-rated health through belongingness (effect = -.070, 95% CI = -.1865, -.0105) and indirect effect on quality of life through belongingness (effect = -.066, 95% CI = -.161, -.001). All other mediational analyses were nonsignificant. Our results suggest that cognitive aspects of social life, like perceived belongingness, may be an important mechanism through which minority stress affects health.

Abstract:
Introduction: Visibility within advertising can generate acceptance and normalization in society, hence it is a powerful media that is of utmost importance for the homosexual group. Portrayals in advertising equal an admission as citizens, which homosexual women are currently neglected as media circumscribe male homosexuality as norm. Knowledge of how homosexual women identifies with portrayals in advertising is currently sparse. Aim: The overall aim of this study is to satiate the gap of knowledge of portrayals of homosexual women in advertising and how the dual identity of gender and sexuality influence the interpretation of advertisements targeting homosexual women. Method: A combination of quantitative and qualitative methodology. The sample includes self-identified homosexual women recruited consecutively during a two-month period. In total 113 homosexual women participated in the study. To provide a realistic interpretation, actual print advertisements portraying female homosexuals were used as stimuli within the contexts of mainstream media and gay media. Results: The female homosexual group appears to be heterogeneous since the perception of the individual sexual identity and lifestyle was not aligned but rather dispersed. However, the participants’ perception of the sexual identity and lifestyle of the female homosexual group is that is a homogenous group. Conclusion: Within the female homosexual group a stigmatization exist regarding gender behaviour that does not correspond with the recurrent portrayal in advertising of homosexual women as a homogenous group.

This thesis is exploratory in nature and looks at the history, current status, and prospects of minority women in the officer corps of the U.S. Navy. The recruiting, promotion, and retention of these women is compared to that of whites, using information provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center and other sources. Research focuses on the period from 1972 through 1990. Overall, the study shows a very positive trend occurring for minority women, especially blacks, with steadily increasing representation in the officer corps. However, potential problem areas are found in the distribution of minority women across occupations and in their related prospects for advancement. In addition, evidence suggests that future participation by minority women may be adversely influenced by the planned reduction of Navy personnel. Several recommendations for further research are made, including the longitudinal tracking of minority women through their promotional flowpoints,

Abstract:
Most individuals spend more than half their lives as single due to divorce, widowhood, and remaining single (Simpson, 2016). Singlehood, in general, has meant not being in a heterosexual relationship. Historically, lesbian women have been considered single because their relationships were not legally recognized. Single women and lesbian women have had more choices to live outside heterosexual marriage, financially and with social acceptability, in the later portion of the 20th century and in the early 21st century than previously. Single sexual minority women of the baby boom came of age during this time and are beginning to plan for and enter into old age. This study used qualitative methods to study how single sexual minority women of the baby boom cohort defined family and planned for their later years. Women from the baby boom cohort who are currently single and identify as a sexual minority were connected to their family of origin and extended families in their youth, focused on romantic relationships during adulthood, and currently identify their family as biological and chosen family. The women had formal and informal plans for their future as they continue to age. Limitations, future directions, and implications are also discussed.

Abstract:
Sexual minority women have been repeatedly overlooked in violence against women research. As a result, we know little about the experiences and needs of non-heterosexual or gender non-conforming survivors. Given the paucity of information available on this topic, this study was exploratory in nature and used a phenomenological approach. Open-ended, unstructured interviews focused on the lived experience of surviving sexual violence and the impact that this experience has had on the survivors’ same-sex sexuality. While a number of reoccurring themes generated from this project are well represented within the broad and well-developed canon of sexual violence research, participants also introduced features unique to LBQ and same-sex attracted women. Results from this project are intended to begin a long overdue dialogue about the needs of this understudied community of survivors.

Abstract:
In response to a dearth of empirical literature concerning the mechanisms underlying female same-sex intimate partner violence (FSSIPV) perpetration, the purpose of this research is to inform intimate partner violence intervention and prevention strategies specific to sexual minority women. The research responds in particular, this research aims to inform a working intersectional model predicting FSSIPV perpetration, and to evaluate the face validity and construct coverage of existing survey measures related to gender, minority stress, and violence. Fourteen lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer women recruited from the greater Portland, Oregon area participated in a series of in-depth, semi-structured, open-ended one-on-one and focus group interviews. Participant recruitment involved a combination of purposive and convenience sampling methods aided by the involvement of multiple community partners working in violence and education related fields. Interview and focus group questions addressed participants' experiences with gender role stress and minority stress. Grounded theory analysis of participants' narrative responses informed the coverage and relevance of constructs in a working intersectional model predicting women's use of violence in their same-gender intimate relationships. In particular, findings indicate that sexual minority women's experiences of gender role stress and minority stress, particularly in combination, were especially influential on their identities. Sexual minority women's experiences with minority stressors were not confined to minority stressors specific to their gender identities and sexual orientations, but intersected with minority stressors related to race and class as well. These findings support an intersectional and contextually-minded approach to IPV intervention and prevention strategies.

Abstract:
Researchers examining clinically-relevant trends for sexual minority women have found evidence of psychological distress and greater utilization of mental health services compared to heterosexually-identified women. However, the results of many research studies with this population have methodological limitations surrounding recruitment of participants, cross-sectional methods, and participant report of clinical services utilized. Few researchers have sought to analyze actual clinical presentation, service utilization, or clinical outcome of sexual minority women in a treatment-setting. This study is an in-depth clinical analysis of 215 sexual minority woman who sought services at a large Midwestern university counseling center over a period of two years and nine months. The analyses conducted allowed for the initial clinical presentation, service utilization, and clinical outcome of sexual minority women to be described and compared to comparative samples of service-seeking female college students. Sexual minority women were found to have a greater incidence of prior suicidality and prior counseling compared to heterosexual women at the same agency. Sexual minority women also reported greater symptoms of social anxiety, eating concerns, and family distress than heterosexual women at the same agency. Of seven examined predictors of service utilization, sexual minority identity label, age, and academic term of service initiation differentiated brief and extended service utilization from moderate service utilization. Prior use of counseling, psychological distress, racial-ethnic minority status, and time in the semester of initiation of services were not significant predictors of service utilization. Implications and limitations of these findings are presented, and future directions for research and intervention are discussed.

Abstract:
Rural populations are traditionally understudied, especially as it is concerned with the experiences of sexual minority women and the experiences of internalized stigma (negative attitudes towards the self) are often related to poor health outcomes within the LGBTQ+ community (Meyer, 2003). This relationship has been found to be mediated by rumination, suppression, and social isolation, which has been generalized to cognitive, coping, and social mediators (Hatzenbuehler, Nolen-Hoeksema, & Dovidio 2009). The current study examines the indirect effect of internalized stigma on self-rated health and quality of life through cognitive mediators (self-esteem, self-compassion, and feelings of guilt and shame) in sexual minority women located in northeast Tennessee (N=134). Participants completed the following scales: Perceived Self Stigma Scale (Mickelson, 2001), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), Self-Compassion Scale- Short Form (Raes, Pommier, Neff, & Van Gucht, 2011), Personal Feelings Questionnaire (Harder & Zalma, 1990), WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organization, 1998), and the SF-36v2 (Health Survey, 1996). Results suggested that only self-esteem mediated the relationship between internalized stigma and both self-rated health and quality of life. Analyses were conducted via the data software SPSS. Internalized stigma was found to predict self-esteem (b = -0.153, p =.023). In turn, self-esteem was then predictive of self-rated health (b = .399, p =.043) and quality of life (b = 0.438, p = .007). A mediational analysis was conducted using a PROCESS (Hayes, 2014) macro to test the hypothesis that self-esteem acts as a mediator between internalized stigma and quality of life and self-rated health. There was an indirect effect of internalized stigma on quality of life (effect = -.067, 95% CI (-.157, -.016)) and self-rated health (effect = -.061, 95% CI (-.151, -.013)) through self-esteem. All other regression and mediational analyses with self-compassion, shame, and guilt were nonsignificant. With these findings, clinical therapy may be improved for sexual minority women by focusing on internalized stigma as an underlying cause of lower self-esteem and poor health. If the focus of therapy becomes internalized stigma, based on our findings, reduction of internalized stigma could increase self-esteem and in turn increase self-rated health and quality of life in sexual minority women.
