This project experimentally tests whether reading about enacted stigma is associated with state symptoms in gay men and lesbians.

In Study 2,\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u2009451 lesbians read about EPSS directed at lesbians, enacted verbal stigma (EVS) directed at lesbians, or a control text. State anxiety and state depression were assessed in both studies. In Study 3, the control text was tested for neutrality in a sample with diverse sexual orientations. In Studies 1 and 2, state depression in gay men and lesbians and state anxiety in gay men were significantly higher after reading about EPSS compared to the control condition, with small to moderate effect sizes. No associations were found between EVS and state symptoms. Study 3 found lower state anxiety after reading the control text, with a small effect size. It can be concluded that reading about EPSS directed at sexual minority individuals was associated with state depression. Future studies should replicate these findings and examine how long associations persist. Additionally, a truly neutral control condition should be developed and validated.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ijop.70078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,16]],"date-time":"2025-07-16T04:39:57Z","timestamp":1752640797000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Associations Between Reading About Enacted Stigma, State Anxiety, and State Depression in Gay Men and Lesbians: Experimental Findings"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"60","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8974-445X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Frank A.","family":"Sattler","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Frank Sattler Psychology  Sydney Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-5385-3611","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Norman","family":"Wolf","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology Marburg University  Marburg Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4724-9597","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ricarda","family":"Mewes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Outpatient Unit for Research, Teaching and Practice, Department of Psychology University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/09515070600811899"},{"volume-title":"Rechtsextreme in Russland: Grausame Schau der Schwulenhasser [Far\u2010Rights in Russia: Cruel Display of Gay Haters]","year":"2013","author":"Bidder B.","key":"e_1_2_10_3_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/sgd0000048"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jad.2015.10.066"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291709005996"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/sgd0000227"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_8_1","first-page":"270","volume-title":"Hate Crimes: Confronting Violence Against Lesbians and Gay Men","author":"Herek G.
