Perceived stress as a mediator of coming out acceptance and well-being among sexual minorities in Puerto Rico

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Sexual minorities (SM) often experience minority stress due to exposure to structural, interpersonal, and internalized stigma in heteronormative societies. These stressors have been associated with poorer psychological and social well-being. Coming Out Acceptance (COA) may function as a protective factor that mitigates the negative effects of minority stress.
