Abstract Internalized stigma has a direct and detrimental effect on the mental health of sexual and gender minorities (SGMs), yet few interventions have been specifically designed to reduce such internalized stigma. This article describes numerous social psychology concepts and theories integrated into a brief, online intervention that has demonstrated success in reducing internalized stigma among SGM subpopulations. Using this intervention as an example, we illustrate how concepts from social psychology can expand the development of such interventions and strategies. We demonstrate how social psychological theories, particularly those related to attitude formation and change, may inform development of this and other interventions.

为赋权释放内在的耻辱：为性少数群体和性别少数群体制定理论驱动的干预措施

摘要 内化污名对性和性别少数群体 (SGM) 的心理健康有直接和有害的影响，但很少有干预措施专门设计用于减少这种内化污名。本文描述了许多社会心理学概念和理论，这些概念和理论整合到一个简短的在线干预中，该干预已证明成功地减少了 SGM 亚群中的内化污名。以这种干预为例，我们说明了社会心理学的概念如何扩展此类干预和策略的发展。我们展示了社会心理学理论，特别是那些与态度形成和改变有关的理论，如何为这种干预和其他干预的发展提供信息。
