Career Indecision among LGB College Students: The Role of Minority Stress, Perceived Social Support, and Community Affiliation
Winderman, Kate; Martin, Colleen E.; Smith, Nathan Grant
Journal of Career Development, v45 n6 p536-550 Dec 2018
Although several studies have examined the ways in which lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) individuals experience difficulties with career decision-making, little is known about the impact of minority stressors on this integral process. The purpose of the current study was to examine the relationship between minority stressors, LGB community connectedness, social support, and four facets of career indecision among LGB college students. Participants (N = 270) were predominately White (53.7%), bisexual (57.8%), single (42.2%), and female (59.6%). Hierarchical linear regression analyses revealed that social support was protective against lack of readiness (ß = -0.39, p < 0.001) and interpersonal conflict (IPC; ß = -0.30, p < 0.001). Moreover, an interactive effect of internalized homonegativity and community affiliation was protective against IPC (ß = -0.22, p < 0.05). Implications for researchers and career counselors are discussed.
