“…Likert-type scale ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree , with higher scores indicating more self-perceived cultural humility (negative cultural humility items are reverse coded). The scale was modified to assess cultural humility towards LGBT individuals by prompting each item with, “Regarding LGBT individuals, I …” An example item is, “… I am open-minded.” This scale has previously shown internal consistency, with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from .86 to .93 in a variety of samples (Hook et al, 2013; McElroy, 2018). Both subscales were found to be internally consistent with the current sample with Cronbach’s alphas of .89 for positive cultural humility and .72 for negative cultural humility.…”

This study explores the role cultural humility plays in attitudes and discrimination towards people identifying as gay or lesbian among religious individuals. Specifically, we explore cultural humility as a possible predictor of less discriminatory attitudes towards lesbians and gay men above and beyond the effects of conservatism and religious orientation. Consistent with prior work, we expected that (a) intrinsic religious orientation, extrinsic religious orientation, and conservatism would be positively related to discriminatory attitudes and (b) that quest religious orientation and cultural humility would be negatively related to discriminatory attitudes. Participants ( N = 231) were recruited through MTurk after the 2016 Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida to understand the attitudes and experiences held by Americans. Participants completed measures of religious orientation, attitudes, and behaviors towards lesbians and gay men, and cultural humility regarding LGBT issues. Results supported the hypothesis that cultural humility predicts less discrimination towards lesbians and gay men beyond conservatism and religious orientation. Results, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

“…We predicted that collective self-esteem (both public and private), disability adjustment, anxious attachment, and avoidant attachment would serve as correlates and unique predictors of dyadic adjustment, commitment, and dyadic trust for those who identified as sexual minority persons with disabilities. Additionally, we aimed to test the social bond hypothesis (McElroy-Heltzel et al, 2018), by examining if perceptions of partner's cultural humility toward disability would serve as a significant correlate and unique predictor of dyadic adjustment, commitment, and dyadic trust for sexual minority persons with disabilities.…”

“…One study found that perceptions of a spouse’s cultural humility was related to relationship satisfaction (Wang, Rankin, & Chong, 2015). Another study found that ineffective arguing caused individuals in interethnic relationships to rate their partners lower on cultural humility, which in turn decreased relationship satisfaction and commitment (McElroy-Heltzel et al, 2018). More broadly, humility has been associated with forgiveness (Davis et al, 2013), commitment, and relationship satisfaction (Farrell et al, 2015) in romantic relationships.…”

Little is known about romantic relationship adjustment or perceptions of relationship quality (e.g., commitment and trust) among sexual minority persons with disabilities. The purpose of this study was to explore if collective self-esteem, disability adjustment, attachment styles, and cultural humility served as unique correlates and predictors of relationship adjustment and relationship quality among sexual minority persons (e.g., lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer) with disabilities. Method: Ninety-two participants identifying as sexual minority persons living with a variety of disabilities (e.g., physical, psychiatric, medical, neurological), and who were partnered with sexual minority persons not living with a disability, were recruited using Amazon Mechanical Turk to complete an electronic questionnaire. Results: Responses of 92 participants were analyzed using bivariate correlations and 3 separate blockwise hierarchical regression models. To varying degrees, collective self-esteem, attachment styles, and cultural humility served as significant correlates and predictors of dyadic adjustment, commitment, and trust. Implications: Implications for clinical practice and future research are discussed. Rehabilitation psychologists and other health care providers are encouraged to consider collective self-esteem, attachment styles, and cultural humility when working with sexual minority persons with disabilities in romantic relationships. Impact and ImplicationsSexual minority persons are a highly marginalized and neglected facet of the broader disability community, despite prevalence rates of disability being high among sexual minority persons (Fredriksen-Goldsen et al., 2014). This study is one of the very first to examine perceptions of relationship functioning (e.g., dyadic adjustment, dyadic trust, and relationship commitment) among a small sample of sexual minority persons living with a variety of disabilities (e.g., physical, psychiatric, medical, neurological). Rehabilitation Psychologists and other rehabilitation professionals should attend to collective self-esteem, attachment styles, and cultural humility when providing clinical or couples counseling services to sexual minority persons with disabilities in romantic relationships.

“…Они в большей степени, чем женщины из монокультурных семей, стремятся к эмоциональной близости со своим партне-ром, испытывают меньше фрустрации в романтических отношениях, у них отмечается меньше негативных и амбивалентных эмоций в отношениях, они меньше стремятся дистанцироваться либо эмоционально сливаться со своим партнером, устанавливая зависимые отношения, меньше его ревнуют. Помимо упомянутого выше предположения о личностных особенностях, связанных с готовностью создавать межкультурные браки, эти результаты можно объяснить межкультурными различиями в стилях привязанности (Agishtein, Brumbaugh, 2013) в сочетании с концепцией социальных связей (McElroy-Heltzel et al, 2018). То есть женщины из монокультурных браков в большей степени придерживаются своей культурной традиции построения отношений.…”

“…В работах McElroy-Heltzel с соавторами гипотеза социальных связей применяется для объяснения приверженности отношениям и удовлетворенности отношениями в межкультурных парах. Согласно этим данным, имеется связь воспринимаемой каждым из супругов степени их приспособления к культуре друг друга и качеством отношений в паре, в том числе проявляющимся в снижении неконструктивных конфликтов на основе культурных различий (McElroy-Heltzel et al, 2018).…”

The article presents a comparative study of the types of ethnic identity in conjunction with the styles of attachment in a couple and separation from the parental family of women who are in intercultural and monocultural marriages. The main sample consisted of 198 Russian women aged 21 to 55 years ( M = 36.1), including 84 women married to representatives of their own culture and living in Russia and 114 women married to representatives of the titular nationality of one of six European countries and living in the countries of their husbands. The study involved the following methods: “Multi-Item Measure of Adult Romantic Attachment - MIMARA”, adapted by T.L. Kryukova, O.A. Ekimchik; “Attachment to Close People Inventory” (N.V. Sabelnikova, D.V. Kashirsky); “Questionnaire of psychological separation” by J. Hoffman, adapted by T.Yu. Sadovnikova, V.P. Dzukaeva; and “Method for diagnosing types of ethnic identity” (G.U. Soldatova, S.V. Ryzhova). In general, the results of the study show that for women in interethnic marriages living in a foreign cultural environment, attachment to both their parents and husbands is more secure and positive, whereas the style of ethnic identity is more extreme and is associated with internal conflict. Women from intercultural marriages revealed different features of ethnic identity depending on the length of their marriage. It is shown that the style of ethnic identity is closely connected with attachment relationships. For women in monoethnic marriages living in their native country, it is more associated with separation from their parents but, for women in interethnic marriages living in a foreign country, it is to a greater extent associated with attachment to their husbands. In both cases, positive ethnic identity is associated with insecure attachment and dependence on their parents and husbands, while extreme forms of ethnic identity are associated with secure attachment and personal autonomy in relationships. The results of this study allow the specialists to take into account the specific social situation of interethnic couples more accurately in the course of psychological, social and other assistance to such couples, to develop constructive ways of discussing and maintaining cultural differences in the couple.
