Title

The Psychological Well-Being of Young Adults of a Sexual Minority

Authors

Abstract

Compared to their heterosexual counterparts, the literature on sexual minority youth and young adults has highlighted low mental status in those groups. Stress factors such as bullying and physical abuse are often more likely to be faced by sexual minorities. However, in Iceland, a Nordic country known for a high degree of sexual equality, the sexual minority of young adults has not been studied much. A notable question, considering what the literature has shown to date, is whether the mental well-being trends of adolescents and young adults in the sexual minority in Iceland are comparable to other countries. The purpose of the present study was to provide an evaluation of the mental well-being of young adults in the sexual minority in Iceland. In 16-20 year-olds, both sex-attracted and same-sex-attracted participants, we used population data to analyze a set of mental well-being measures and compared them to other sex-attracted peers. Findings revealed that young adults of the sexual minority displayed substantially higher levels of depressed mood, frustration, and perceived stress than young adults attracted to other sexes. However, when stratified by the trend of gender and sexual orientation, the study showed that young women drawn to both sexes scored considerably higher on all measures than any other category. We conclude that research in this field should aim to differentiate between the attraction of the same sex and both sexes as well as to stratify gender analyses. A compelling focus for future research is the well-being of both-sex-attracted young women.
