Abstract

Objectives: Self-concept distortion has been extensively linked with decreasing mental health in gay and lesbian youth. Social context has been proposed to have a moderating effect on the development of a healthy self-concept. However, no good quality review has approached these concepts with regards to LGBT youth. Methods: A systematic review was conducted on the relationship between social context and self-concept in gay and lesbian youth. Twenty studies were included in the review. Results: Quality assessment of papers yielded moderate methodological strength. Findings implied that social context has considerable influence on self-concept development. Discrepancies in assessment methods, areas of social context examined, and one-dimensional nature of examining self-concept interferes with drawing explicit conclusions regarding the relationship between social context and self-concept. Conclusion: Positivity of social context is not conclusively relatable to positive self-concept development, and similarly, a negative context is not predetermining of self-concept distortions. Building on resilience factors of gay and lesbian youth, working together with families, and advancing and utilizing available educational and community resources should mitigate the strength of overt and covert heterosexism hindering healthy self-concept development. Further longitudinal and cross-cultural research will be necessary to provide insight into the mechanisms of associations.

  • Because culture assigns more negative traits to LGBQ+ people than heterosexuals, LGBQ+ youth face greater challenges developing a positive sense of self.

    “Because our culture tends to assign more negative traits to LGBQ+ people than heterosexuals, LGBQ+ youth face greater challenges developing a positive sense of self (Hossain and Ferreira 2019; Meyer 1995).”

    From Coming Out Queer: Sexual and Romantic Exploration and Identity Development of LGBQ+ College Students (2025) · cites this paper as Hossain and Ferreira 2019

    The review’s “Assessing social context” section describes negative societal attitudes toward nonheterosexual people, and its “Social context and self-concept in gay and lesbian youth” section says hostility can hinder a healthy self-concept. These passages support the claim’s central connection, but the review focuses on gay and lesbian youth rather than the full LGBQ+ population; it also discusses negative attitudes and stigma, not a direct comparison of traits assigned to LGBQ+ and heterosexual people.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
