Abstract:
Introduction: Our study sought to assess the interplay of family dynamics, namely familial warmth and LGBTQ + specific rejection, and its association to self-esteem in a non-probabilistic sample of LGBTQ + adolescents in the United States. Methods: Stratified by (1) cisgender and (2) transgender and non-binary LGBTQ + adolescents (N = 8774), we tested multivariable regression analyses to assess the association between familial warmth and LGBTQ + specific family rejection, adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics. We then conducted a sub-analysis with LGBTQ + adolescents who reported being out to any family member about their LGBTQ + identity; specifically, we tested a series of multivariable regression models to assess whether levels of LGBTQ + specific family rejection attenuated the association between familial warmth and self-esteem.
