Overview

Cross-sectional study reveals significant effects of social and economic capital on happiness in sexual and gender diverse adults, indicating key drivers of well-being beyond minority stress.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the relative influences of social, sexual, and economic capital alongside stigma on happiness among sexual and gender diverse individuals using an integrated framework.
  • Analyzed data from a cross-sectional convenience sample of sexual and gender diverse Chinese individuals (N = 8,694).
  • Fitted structural equation models integrating social, sexual, and economic capital with stigma measures to assess pathways to happiness, including models stratified by gender minority status.
  • Identified three significant structural pathways linking the evaluated forms of capital to happiness.
  • Demonstrated significant direct effects on happiness from social capital (R² = 0.09) and economic capital (R² = 0.04).
