“…Next, in an unplanned analysis, we examined whether lifetime or non-lifetime event internalization was a stronger predictor of psychosocial identity for the younger cohort only. To answer this question, we conducted a commonality analysis (Ray-Mukherjee et al, 2014; Reio et al, 2015), which used multiple regression to decompose the total variance explained by the lifetime and non-lifetime internalization variables into common and unique effects. In our case, the total variance explained by our predictors could be partitioned into three components: the unique effect of lifetime internalization, the unique effect of non-lifetime internalization, and the common effect shared by both variables.…”

Scholars have increasingly called for the centering of cultural-historical forces in research on psychosocial identity, particularly when that research seeks to understand development among marginalized groups. Accordingly, in this study, we investigated cultural-historical events considered important to members of the LGBTQþ community and examined the association between event internalization and psychosocial identity. Participants were a college and community sample of LGBTQþ adults (N = 495) ranging in age from 17 to 80 years (M = 39.22, SD = 19.89) and representing three generational cohorts. In an online survey, participants reported up to six cultural-historical events considered important to their LGBTQþ identities and rated those events for statements reflecting internalization. They also completed questionnaires assessing psychosocial identity. Results showed that 443 participants reported at least one cultural-historical event, with a total of 1,280 events reported. Cultural-historical events were coded into thematic categories. From most to least frequent, these categories were policy and legislation; adversity and oppression; protest, resistance, and activism; community, celebration, and commemoration; public figures and visibility; and media, culture, and technology. We found no relation between the number of events reported and psychosocial identity, although there were moderate to strong positive associations between event internalization and psychosocial identity, and this association was strongest for the older cohort. Among the younger cohort, internalization of events occurring before the participants' lifetime was the strongest predictor of psychosocial identity. These findings suggest that cultural-historical events represent a developmental resource for LGBTQþ people. Public Significance StatementIn this study, internalization of LGBTQþ cultural-historical events was positively associated optimal psychosocial identity among LGBTQþ people. The social transmission of cultural-historical event narratives through, for example, intergenerational storytelling, may represent a culturally sustaining practice and developmental resource for the LGBTQþ community.
