Abstract
Research suggests that lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals with highly developed positive identities tend to score higher on measures of outness and well-being than those with less positively developed LGB identities. These relationships appear to be nonlinear and a number of mediators have been proposed. To complement extant research, the present investigation posed four hypotheses: (1) negative identity would predict outness; (2) negative identity would predict well-being; (3) negative identity would mediate the relationship between outness and well-being; and (4) individuals who self-identify with intersectional identities will score lower on well-being than those who identify only as LGB.
