Transgender and non-binary (TGNB) individuals report higher rates of psychological difficulties and lower levels of life satisfaction compared to the general population. Minority-related stressors are associated with poorer mental health and life satisfaction among TGNB individuals. The aim of the current study was to examine whether psychological flexibility and inflexibility moderated the relationship between two TGNB-related stressors (i.e., internalized transphobia and nondisclosure of gender identity) and life satisfaction. Participants were recruited via advertisements on social media websites (e.g., Facebook), Reddit, and organizations serving TGNB individuals and 402 participants were included in the statistical analyses. Results showed that both psychological flexibility and inflexibility moderated the relationship between 1) internalized transphobia and life satisfaction and 2) nondisclosure of gender identity and life satisfaction. The current study highlights the need to continue to examine these variables, as well as, investigate the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions that target psychological flexibility and inflexibility on mental health and life satisfaction for TGNB populations.

与普通人群相比，跨性别和非二进制（TGNB）个人的心理困难发生率更高，生活满意度较低。TGNB个体中与少数民族相关的压力源与较差的心理健康和生活满意度有关。本研究的目的是检验心理柔韧性和僵硬性是否能缓解两个与TGNB相关的压力源（即内在的恐惧感和不公开性别认同）与生活满意度之间的关系。通过社交媒体网站（例如，Facebook），Reddit上的广告招募了参与者，为TGNB个人服务的组织和统计分析中包括了402名参与者。结果表明，心理灵活性和僵化度调节了1）内在的恐惧感与生活满意度之间的关系，以及2）性别身份和生活满意度的不公开。本研究强调需要继续研究这些变量，并调查针对TGNB人群的心理灵活性和不灵活性对心理健康和生活满意度的干预措施的有效性和有效性。
