Honors Projects

Abstract

This is a two-parted project that integrates a quantitative approach and a qualitative approach toward the concept of intersectionality. Research about intersectionality has shown the advantages and disadvantages of both approaches. Therefore, I decided to explore the concept using both approaches. The quantitative section of this project investigates the relationship between victimization experiences due to race/ ethnicity and/ or LGBTQ+ identities and emotional well-being. The sample for this section consisted of college students from all states in the United States who identified as LGBTQ+ and were between 18 and 24 years old. The qualitative section examines salient identities, identity gaps, and identity negotiation among LGBTQ+ college students. The sample for this section consisted of 20 college students from Bowling Green State University who identified as LGBTQ+ and were between 18 and 24 years old. You may refer to the research paper for more information.
