Resumen
Para esta investigación, se planteó el objetivo general de analizar la identidad de la orientación
sexual en las personas LGB de 18 a 30 años de Lima Metropolitana en relación a los estilos de
afrontamiento. Se aplicó una encuesta a 138 participantes, de los cuales 71 (51.4%) fueron
hombres cisgénero y 67 (48.6%) mujeres cisgénero, de entre 18 y 30 años (M = 23.57, DE =
3.53). De la muestra, 21 (15.2%) fueron personas lesbianas, 55 (39.9%) gays y 62 (44.9%)
bisexuales. Se hizo uso del instrumento Estilos de Afrontamiento (COPE) y la Escala de
Identidad para Lesbianas, Gays y Bisexuales (LGBIS). Entre los principales resultados se
encontró una correlación positiva media entre el afrontamiento evitativo con las dimensiones
incertidumbre de la identidad, homonegatividad internalizada y superioridad de la identidad,
mientras que las dimensiones de afirmación y centralidad correlacionaron positivamente con
el afrontamiento activo. En función a las variables sociodemográficas, se registró que los
hombres cisgénero y los hombres gay de la muestra manifestaron niveles mayores de
afrontamiento evitación que las mujeres, lesbianas y bisexuales. También, las mujeres
cisgénero y las personas bisexuales presentaron niveles mayores de motivación a la
invisibilidad, preocupación por la aceptación, aceptación y centralidad de la identidad; mientras
que los hombres cisgénero y gay presentaron niveles mayores de homonegatividad
internalizada y superioridad de la identidad. Se discute la interacción de estos resultados con la
desregulación emocional y contextos que en los que la identidad LGB se convierte en estresor.
For this study, the main objective was to analyze the association between sexual identity in LGB individuals aged 18 to 30 years from Lima Metropolitana and coping styles. A survey was conducted with 138 participants, of whom 71 (51.4%) were cisgender men and 67 (48.6%) were cisgender women, ranging from 18 to 30 years old (M = 23.57, SD = 3.53). The sample included 21 (15.2%) lesbians, 55 (39.9%) gay men, and 62 (44.9%) bisexual individuals. For this research, the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) inventory and the Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Identity Scale (LGBIS) were utilized. A moderate positive correlation between avoidant coping and the dimensions of identity uncertainty, internalized homonegativity, and identity superiority was found; meanwhile, the identity affirmation and centrality dimensions correlated positively with active coping. Regarding sociodemographic variables, cisgender men and gay men in the sample exhibited higher levels of avoidant coping compared to women, lesbians, and bisexual individuals. Additionally, cisgender women and bisexual individuals showed higher levels of concealment motivation, acceptance concerns, identity affirmation, and identity centrality; conversely, cisgender and gay men presented higher levels of internalized homonegativity and identity superiority. The discussion explores the interaction between these results with emotional dysregulation and contexts in which the LGB identity becomes a stressor.
