Violence against people due
to their sexual orientation is a phenomenon that exists within a framework of
sexual stigma and sexual prejudice that can result in enacted stigma.
The
present study primarily aimed to validate the Stigma Consciousness
Questionnaire (SCQ) and the Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS; for lesbian, gay, and bisexual [LGB] populations) in the Spanish context by
using samples from two countries (Spain [N = 157] and the United States [N = 83]).
Also, to examine how the construct of stigma consciousness correlates with
anti-LGBQ (anti-lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer) hate crime victimization and violent
incidents, as well as examine whether the former influences subjective
happiness.
The population from the United States reported higher stigma
consciousness and received more anti-LGBQ threats and insults. Hate crime
victimization was the same across the two samples and positively correlated
with violent incidents in both samples.
Subjective happiness was negatively
correlated with SCQ, although its subscales it did not correlate with enacted
stigma measures.
