Abstract
The minority stress model of Ilan Meyer explained that stigma-related stressors bring adverse mental and physical health outcomes to members of sexual minorities and at the same time explains that minority stress activates psychological resources such as resilience to buffer the negative effects on health outcomes. The study investigated the moderating role of community connectedness (CC), a form of community resilience, on the relationship between stigma-related stressor called perceived stigma (PS) and mental health help-seeking attitudes (MHHSA) among Filipino LGBTQIAs living in the Philippines. A total of 418 self-identified Filipino LGBTQIAs living in the Philippines aged 18 to 59 participated in the study and responded to an online questionnaire. The research employed cross-sectional explanatory methods following a quantitative non-experimental design with moderation analysis. Using Haye’s Process Model, results revealed no significant interaction effect indicating that CC does not moderate the relationship between PS and MHHSA. PS showed no direct effect on MHHSA but had a weak negative relationship with CC. In contrast, CC was positively and significantly related to MHHSA highlighting its potential as a protective factor. These findings suggest that fostering connectedness to the LGBTQIA+ community may be more critical than reducing the effect of PS alone in explaining positive attitudes towards mental health help-seeking. Directions for future research were discussed.
