Resumen

Como se ha demostrado ampliamente, el estrés de las minorías afecta negativamente al bienestar de las personas LGBTQIA+. Recientemente, la literatura ha indagado en los factores psicológicos que pueden explicar las diferencias individuales en los niveles de estresores de minorías experimentados. En particular, algunos estudios se han centrado en el papel delapego adulto, aunque parecen necesarios másestudios paracomprendersu impacto en losestresores proximales delas minorías. A través de tres modelos de regresión múltiple, la presente investigación analizó el impacto de la evitación del apego adulto y la ansiedad sobre el estigma percibido, la homonegatividad internalizada y la ocultación de la orientación sexual, controlando el efecto de los estresores proximales y distales de las minorías. Participaron en la investigación 121 personas que se autoidentificaban como lesbianas o gais y que mantenían una relación romántica en el momento de rellenar el cuestionario. Tras controlar el efecto de los estresores de minorías distales y proximales, los datos apoyan una relación positiva entre la ansiedad de apego y la homonegatividad internalizada, y entre la evitación del apego y la ocultación de la orientación sexual. Sin embargo, este último modelo de regresión no resultó significativo. Por último, no surgió ninguna relación significativa entre el apego adulto y el estigma percibido. Los resultados concuerdan, al menos en parte, con la escasa literatura sobre el tema. Se necesitan más estudios para apoyar y ampliar los datos que surgen en el presente estudio, con el fin de informar las intervenciones
destinadas a promover el bienestar de las personas LGBTQIA+.
