📊 Our results highlight the central role of inclusive in-group norms and affirming social environments for individuals navigating multiple marginalized identities.
🔎 We examined how religious sexual minorities navigate potentially conflicting identities, and how risk factors (perceived rejection from in-groups, discrimination) and protective factors (in-group identification, social support) jointly shape identity integration and well-being.

for their valuable help in making this work possible!
📊 Results showed that identity affirmation interventions (vs. control) and identity integration increased well-being.
However, we found little evidence that dual-identity affirmation was more effective than single-identity affirmation.
🔍 We examined whether affirming a dual identity provides additional benefits compared to affirming a single identity.
With a sample of 401 LGB-religious individuals, we tested the effects of dual- vs. single-identity affirmation interventions on well-being and collective action intentions.
✨ Happy to share our new publication!

What makes exploratory research valuable? We discuss 6 factors: 1) Large and 2) Uncommon sample 3) Rigorous data collection 4) Widely used measures that 5) Reveal a coherent pattern across variables meaningful to others and 6) The potential to generate questions.

🔔‼️ New paper alert: “Novelty, Consistency, Transparency: The Trilemma of Psychological Sciences and its Consequences on Open Science Practices”
Paul Bertin and Kenzo Nera propose that novelty, consistency and transparency can be conceptualized as a trilemma.
Curious about this trilemma? 👇👇

It was great to meet Monica Biernat, the post-doctoral supervisor of my former PhD student @beatricesternberg.bsky.social
🔍 We found that strong identification with ingroups, along with high social support, played a key role in fostering identity integration, life satisfaction, and collective action intentions.
Happy to have presented our work at the SPSP convention!
