Title: Dimensions of sexuality and social anxiety in emerging adulthood
Abstract: This study examined the extent to which social anxiety (SA) differed by dimensions of sexual identity, attraction, romantic and sexual history. Participants were 1133 emerging adults, 635 of whom endorsed a non-heterosexual identity and/or some same gender attraction or history. Individuals who reported a minority sexual identity, any same-gender attraction or experience reported greater SA compared to majority peers, particularly those with experience with/attraction to multiple genders. Differences are discussed in terms of implications/recommendations for mental health research and the need for research on nonbinary and intersectional identities.
