Predicting Sexual Minority Self-Regulation Effectiveness: The Contributions of Identity Authenticity and Sexual Minority Stress to Self-Regulation Depletion Among LGBQ+ Persons

Self-regulation depletion and social factors were examined among sexual minorities. Three moderation models indicated identity authenticity and age negatively predicted depletion, and internalized homonegativity and bisexuality positively predicted depletion. The interaction between internalized homonegativity and bisexuality was significant. Dominance analysis indicated identity authenticity best predicted depletion across all model subsets.
