📊 Results showed that identity affirmation interventions (vs. control) and identity integration increased well-being.
However, we found little evidence that dual-identity affirmation was more effective than single-identity affirmation.

🔍 We examined whether affirming a dual identity provides additional benefits compared to affirming a single identity.
With a sample of 401 LGB-religious individuals, we tested the effects of dual- vs. single-identity affirmation interventions on well-being and collective action intentions.

✨ Happy to share our new publication!

It was great to meet Monica Biernat, the post-doctoral supervisor of my former PhD student @beatricesternberg.bsky.social

🔍 We found that strong identification with ingroups, along with high social support, played a key role in fostering identity integration, life satisfaction, and collective action intentions.

Happy to have presented our work at the SPSP convention!
