“…Studies have found that the process of encountering racial microaggressions can be psychologically and physically draining, often to leading to higher levels of stress and poor mental health outcomes Rivera, Forquer, & Rangel, 2010;Sue, Bucceri, Lin, Nadal, & Torino, 2007;Sue, Capodilupo, & Holder, 2008;Sue, Nadal, Capodilupo, Lin, Torino, & Rivera, 2008). While the most well-known literature on microaggressions has focused on subtle forms of discrimination toward racial and ethnic minority groups (e.g., Nadal, 2011;Pierce, Carew, Pierce-Gonzalez, & Willis, 1973;Sue, Capodilupo, Torino, Bucceri, Holder, Nadal, et al, 2007, Sue 2010, there has been an increase in the literature focusing on microaggressions toward women (Capodilupo et al, 2010;Nadal, 2010), lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people (Nadal, Issa, et al, 2011;Nadal, Rivera, & Corpus, 2010;Shelton & Delgado-Romero, 2011), persons with disabilities (Keller & Galgay, 2010), and religious minorities (Nadal, Issa, Griffin, Hamit, & Lyons, 2010). Despite this increase in the literature, microaggressions based on religion are presently the least studied, which may result in the lack of understanding of their impacts on members of religious minority groups.…”

Previous research suggests that microaggressions, or subtle and covert manifestations of bias, are commonplace in the life experience of people of color, women, and sexual minorities. However, there is a dearth of research focusing on microaggressions toward people from religious minority groups. Using a qualitative approach and directed content analysis with Muslim American participants (N=10), six themes emerged: 1) Endorsing Religious Stereotypes of Muslims as Terrorists, 2) Pathology of the Muslim Religion, 3) Assumption of Religious Homogeneity, 4) Exoticization, 5) Islamophobic and Mocking Language, and 6) Alien in Own Land. Implications for Muslim mental health are discussed.

“…Although the SMNE subscale was divided into several factors, they are consistent with the authors' concept. One of the extracted scales was based on events witnessed or heard about (SMNE [17][18][19][20][21][22] and the second was focused on HIV (SMNE 23-26). The next one was about events experienced due to an LGB status.…”

SummaryMinority stress is a relatively new concept that has emerged from the concept of stress. Its popularity among researchers who are interested in minority groups is increasing. Minority stress refers to the experiences of stigma, rejection and violence by the majority of society as experienced by the minority.The concept can be operationalised in a number of ways, for instance via a questionnaire such as the Sexual Minority Stress Scale (SMSS) presented in this paper. It concerns a clearly defined concept of minority stress and uses some stress indicators. It was translated and adapted into Polish. This paper presents the results of statistical analysis based on answers of 206 individuals describing themselves as homosexual and 62 describing themselves as bisexual.High psychometric results of the questionnaire indicate that SMSS can be used in research on minority stress in bisexual and homosexual individuals. However, further research is required to verify its usefulness in the clinical setting as a screening tool to diagnose those who may be at risk from high levels of minority stress. minority stress, bisexuality, homosexuality, Sexual Minority Stress Scale (SMSS) questionnaire BACKGROUND

“…La recherche sur les antécédents et les conséquences des MAHT est encore à un stade embryonnaire (Bostwick et Hequembourg, 2014 ;Platt et Lenzen, 2013 ;Rivera, Nadal et Fisher, 2012 ;Sarno et Wright, 2013 ;Shelton et Delgado-Romero, 2011). Cependant, des études sur les micro-agressions envers les minorités ethnoculturelles montrent leur impact sur la productivité au travail ainsi que sur la santé psychologique et physique, puisqu'elles créent des environnements de travail hostiles et épuisent les ressources cognitives des victimes (p. ex.…”

“…En ce qui concerne l'hétérosexisme et les micro-agressions, les practicien.ne.s doivent prendre conscience de leurs propres a priori, biais et attitudes par rapport aux MSG susceptibles d'interférer avec leurs relations d'aide auprès d'une clientèle LGBT (Nadal, Skolnik et Wong, 2012 ;Shelton et Delgado-Romero, 2011 ;Wright et Wegner, 2012). Reconnaître ses propres limites facilite l'établissement de rela-tions de confiance avec les client.e.s LGBT, ce qui favorise une santé mentale et un développement identitaire optimal.…”

Malgré les avancées législatives en matière d’égalité au travail pour les minorités sexuelles et de genre (MSG), les données disponibles permettent de constater la persistance des discriminations en milieu de travail envers les personnes lesbiennes, gaies et bisexuelles, et surtout, envers les personnes transsexuelles/transgenres. Cet article, basé sur une revue de la littérature, explore les liens entre les différents vécus de discrimination en milieu de travail et leurs impacts sur la santé mentale chez les MSG et chez différentes sous-populations : hommes ayant des relations sexuelles avec d’autres hommes, femmes non hétérosexuelles, parents lesbiennes et gais, et personnes trans. De plus, l’article explore certains facteurs de protection et de risque individuels et systémiques qui interviennent dans cette relation, entre autres le dévoilement de l’orientation sexuelle ou de l’identité de genre et le soutien organisationnel. Finalement, la littérature sur la discrimination en milieu de travail et la santé mentale des MSG met en lumière l’importance, dans le contexte actuel, des approches intersectionnelles et des études sur les micro-agressions. Pour terminer, l’article discute les implications pour les milieux de pratique, de recherche et de travail tout en formulant plusieurs recommandations.Despite legislative advances in terms of workplace equality for sexual and gender minorities (SGM), available data ascertains the persistence of workplace discrimination of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and especially of transgender/transsexual employees. This article, based on an extensive literature review, explores the relationship between different types of workplace discrimination experiences and their impacts on the mental health of SGM and of different sub-populations: men who have sex with men, non-heterosexual women, lesbian and gay parents, and trans people. Furthermore, the article explores certain individual and systemic protection and risk factors that have an impact on this relationship, such as coming-out at work and organisational support. Finally, the existing literature on workplace discrimination and mental health of sexual and gender minorities highlights the importance, in the current legal and social context, of intersectional approaches and of research on homo- and trans-negative microaggressions. The article ends with a discussion on the implications for practice, research, and workplace settings, as well as with several recommendations for these settings
