“…The results confirm our third hypothesis: LGB individuals report greater maladaptive perfectionism, specifically greater concerns over mistakes and doubts about actions, greater Concern with Precision, Order and Organization and greater perceived parental expectations and criticism. This result is in line with previous research ( Ying et al, 2022 ).…”

“…Indeed, several studies (Meads et al, 2009;Chakraborty et al, 2011;Przedworski et al, 2015;Ciocca et al, 2018), report a greater prevalence of obsessivecompulsive symptoms in LGB individuals. Non-heterosexual individuals also seem to report a greater prevalence of dysfunctional personality traits (Wang et al, 2014;Cramer et al, 2016;Russell et al, 2017) and greater maladaptive perfectionism (Ying et al, 2022). However, further research is necessary to investigate the interrelations between sexual orientation and romantic relationship obsessivecompulsive symptoms.…”

“…Regarding perfectionism, Meyer’s minority stress model (2003) suggests that individuals belonging to a sexual minority undergo a number of stressors that could lead to a worry about making mistakes and, therefore, bring to overcompensation in achievement-related domains [see the “Best Little Boy in the World hypothesis of Tobias (1976) ], consequently developing maladaptive perfectionistic strategies ( Ying et al, 2022 ).…”

IntroductionRelationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is characterized by the presence of relationship-centered or partner-focused obsessions and compulsions that determine a great sense of doubt toward the partner or the relationship. Personality characteristics, including perfectionism, are involved in the development of Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and could predispose the individual to excessive doubts and preoccupations regarding the “adequacy of the couple” or the physical appearance of one’s partner. Evidence from epidemiological research shows that the LGB community can present a high risk and prevalence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms and recent research demonstrated the usefulness of the DSM-5 personality model in understanding the personality of sexual minorities. However, further research is necessary to deepen our knowledge of the relationship between these variables in the LGB community. The aim of the present study was to compare a group of heterosexual individuals to a group of LGB individuals regarding personality traits, perfectionism, and relationship obsessive-compulsive symptoms.MethodsA total of 200 participants, 98 in the heterosexual group and 102 in the LGB group, were enrolled in the study and completed a psychological battery comprised of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised, Personality Inventory for DSM-5, Relationship Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory, Partner-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Inventory, and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale.ResultsThe results show that LGB individuals tend to report greater feelings of doubt regarding the partner’s love, more negative emotions (Negative Affect) and Antagonism, and greater perfectionism traits compared to heterosexual individuals.ConclusionThese findings underline the necessity to consider the implementation of personalized interventions in clinical practice and the importance of initiating early preventive programs in sexual minority communities.

“…The social exclusion of LGB people by society, through rejection, resistance, and discrimination, is prevalent [26]. In the Chinese context, social exclusion can involve censorship in the media, as well as homophobia, marginalization, shaming, and stigmatization [16,[27][28][29]. Such exclusion can generate depression, psychopathology, and suicide, as well as distress [30][31][32][33][34].…”

Lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) people are likely to be at risk of distress because of social exclusion, including the feelings of resentment, resistance, and rejection they might experience from society. Nevertheless, the conditions for social exclusion leading to changes in distress are empirically unclear, especially in Chinese LGB people. To examine these conditions, this study surveyed 303 Chinese LGB people in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and various places in Mainland China. For comparability with other LGB studies, the study did not explicitly identify asexual, demisexual, or pansexual people in the LGB group. Results show that the retrospective reporting of social exclusion in 2016 did not significantly and unconditionally predict levels of distress in 2017. However, the reporting of exclusion significantly predicted current distress when the retrospective report of distress in 2016 was high. These results from the stress–vulnerability model indicate that prior distress is a vulnerability condition that allows social exclusion to exert its stressful effect. This study implies the need to prevent the social exclusion of highly distressed LGB people.
