PROJECT
LGBTQIA+ Identity Development and Microaggressions: Differences Between Evangelical and Secular College Students
In this study, we looked into the experiences of LGBTQIA+ students and alumni of secular and evangelical colleges and compared their experiences. More specifically, we examined participants’ experiences of microaggressions and dimensions of sexual minority identity development. We also surveyed how LGBTQIA+ students who are racial or ethnic minorities experience microaggressions as compared to white LGBTQIA+ students.Â
PROJECT
The Relationship of Nontraditional Sexuality with Guilt and Shame Proneness and Church Attendance
In this study, we looked into the experiences of Christians who had broken “purity pledges'' and Christians who had come out as members of the LGBTQ+ community. More specifically, we considered how such actions impacted their church attendance and their proneness to guilt and shame.
