LGBT Aging: A Review of Research Findings, Needs, and Policy Implications (2016, background): “Stressors Minority stress theory suggests that sexual and gender minorities are exposed to unique stress related to stigma and prejudice and that this stress leads to adverse health outcomes (Meyer, 2003; Hendricks & Testa, 2012).”
Psychological well-being among transgender and genderqueer individuals (2016, background): “…is the elevated levels of minority stress experienced by transgender and genderqueer individuals, to the extent that an adapted minority-stress model has been developed specifically to help guide clinical work with transgender and genderqueer/nonbinary individuals (Hendricks & Testa, 2012).”
Minority Stressors and Psychological Distress in Transgender Individuals (2017, positive): “Some have suggested this framework may also help explain the effects of gender-related stigma on transgender mental health, but this has not been subject to good empirical testing (Bockting, 2009; Hendricks & Testa, 2012).”
Coping and Psychological Distress Among Genderqueer Individuals: The Moderating Effect of Social Support (2014, background): “Counselors generally lack knowledge and awareness of genderqueer individuals, despite the fact they make up a large section of the gender-transgressive community (Burdge, 2007; Hendricks & Testa, 2012; for a fuller description of these terms, see Budge, Tebbe, & Howard, 2010).”
LGBTQ+ Latino/a Young People’s Interpretations of Stigma and Mental Health: An Intersectional Minority Stress Perspective (2020, background): “For example, the sexual and gender minority stress models show how anti-LGBTQ1 prejudiced and discriminatory social contexts result in chronic psychological stress that can adversely influence the mental health of LGBTQ1 populations (Hendricks and Testa 2012; Meyer 1995, 2003).”
Health Care Experiences of Transgender Binary and Nonbinary University Students (2019, methodology): “Yet alongside this resiliency, trans students in this sample—consistent with gender minority stress theory (Hendricks & Testa, 2012)—described trans-related stigma at multiple levels as heightening their current distress.”
Victimization and Microaggressions Targeting LGBTQ College Students: Gender Identity As a Moderator of Psychological Distress (2017, background): “Several recent studies have used this lens to understand health disparities for trans* individuals (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; Herman, 2013).”
Internalized Stigma Within Sexual and Gender Minorities: Change Strategies and Clinical Implications (2015, background): “Of note, there has been extremely little written about the assessment of internalized stigma in the transgender population (Hendricks & Testa, 2012), therefore therapists may need to be cautious in applying measures for LGB individuals to transgender individuals.”
Guidelines for psychological practice with transgender and gender nonconforming people. (2015, positive): “In other cases, having a TGNC identity may lead or contribute to a co-occurring mental health condition, either directly by way of gender dysphoria, or indirectly by way of minority stress and oppression (Hendricks & Testa, 2012; I. H.Meyer, 1995, 2003).”
Psychological Interventions Promoting Resilience Among Transgender Individuals: Transgender Resilience Intervention Model (TRIM) (2018, methodology): “Recently, the minority stress model has been applied to gender minority populations as well (Hendricks & Testa, 2012).”
