| dc.description.abstract | The present research was aimed to examine the relationship among minority stress, resilience and quality of life in transgender people. The sample was consisted of N=200 taken from Lahore city and age range of the participant was 20-40 years. Non-probability purposive sampling technique was used. Minority Stress LGBT Measure (Pearl, 2016), State-Trait Resilience Inventory (Hiew, 2000) and Quality of life (Flanagan, 1982) were used as assessment measures. The results of Pearson product correlation showed that there was negative significant relationship among minority stress subscales everyday discrimination, discrimination events, internalized stigma and community connectedness and quality of life while positive significant correlation was found between resilience and quality of life. There was not found any significant relationship between minority stress and resilience. There was significant negative relationship found between minority stress and government support. Results also revealed that there was negative significant correlation between resilience and age, leaving home duration, family contact and government support. The result of moderation analysis revealed minority stress as significant negative predictor while resilience as significant positive predictor for quality of life. Interaction effect (minority stress x resilience) also found significant predictor of quality of life. No significant impact of covariates found in moderation analysis for quality of life. The results of moderation also revealed conditional effect of resilience that explain non-significant relationship between minority stress and quality of life. The results of independent measure ANOVA revealed significant mean differences in term of minority stress subscales for occupation (identity concealment, internalized stigma, community connectedness) of minority stress with large effect size , while significant mean difference found in subscales (everyday discrimination, rejection anticipation, victimization events) of minority stress with medium effect size. Results also revealed significant mean differences in term of resilience and quality of life for occupation with medium effect size. Study concluded that increase minority stress badly influences the quality of life of transgender people on the other hand resilience buffer this effect of minority stress on quality of life.The findings would help counselors to develop strategies that may help their transgender client to avoid risk situations related to involvement in minority stress. | |
