Description

How our gender and sexuality euphorias predict our identity development. This project aims to discover how our gender and sexuality identity (GSI) euphorias (positive affect e.g. happiness) predict our lifespan GSI development. It creates the first interdisciplinary bio-social-cognitive model of people's lifespan GSI development and fluidity within ecological systems, via mixed methods. It identifies latent profiles of individuals’ ‘GSI euphorias’ (positive affect) – and others’ responses to these – and how these profiles are associated with typical vs. atypical GSI development and fluidity, education/service appropriacy, and lifespan wellbeing. Meeting gaps in male-and-youth-centred, deficit-based models; new GSI development models enrich professional approaches towards intervention benefits centring wellbeing.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4405 - Gender Studies. Lead: Prof Tiffany Jones
