Abstract
A cross-sectional survey study was completed in which ninety-two self-identified gay and lesbian university students responded to online research instruments which assessed psychological well-being as well as character strengths and virtues. Participants were grouped using cluster analysis based on well-being scores and discriminant analysis was used to differentiate between groups based on two virtue factors (Interpersonal Strengths and Practical Wisdom). Results suggest that individuals with high autonomy and low overall well-being score lower in interpersonal character strengths compared to individuals with balanced well-being. As interpersonal strengths are key to social support and thus to well-being for gay and lesbian individuals, further attention is warranted to study the relationship between autonomy, interpersonal character strengths, and social support in this population.
