The moderating role of sexual identity centrality in the association between gay community stress and social anxiety among sexual minority men
Overview
This study examines how sexual identity centrality influences the relationship between gay community stress and social anxiety in 251 sexual minority men aged 18–35. The authors analyze baseline data from a randomized controlled trial testing an LGBTQ-affirmative cognitive behavioral therapy intervention to determine if identity centrality moderates this association. Results indicate that higher sexual identity centrality strengthens the link between community stress and both self-reported symptoms and clinical diagnoses of social anxiety disorder.
