| Summary: | Homonegative microaggressions are insults to LGBTQ+ individuals through words and behaviors (Sarno & Wright, 2013). It can be experienced through media which impacts an LGBTQ+ individual's psychological well-being, and emotional and behavioral functioning. However, based on the resilience theory, negative events can aid in developing a sense of resilience. This study used a sequential explanatory design method to find out if homonegative microaggressions in media can predict resilience and further explain how LGBTQ+ individuals cope against such adversities. Results show that homonegative microaggressions in media does not predict resilience. In addition, three themes were created to explain how LGBTQ+ individuals overcome such adversities: innate ability to overcome experiences of discrimination, self-acceptance leads to resilience and desire to educate individuals regarding LGBTQ+ related issues. |
