Abstract

This study examined the degree to which the association between parents' nonaccommodation and sexual minorities' personal-enacted identity gap (PEIG) with their family depends upon feelings of being caught between parents. Participants included 205 sexual minorities who reported on their parents' unwanted advice about their sexual identity and the degree to which they emphasized divergent values in conversations about LGBTQ+ issues. Reports of both mother's and father's nonaccommodation were positively associated with feeling caught between parents. Feeling caught diminished the magnitude of association between parental nonaccommodation and PEIG, although the association remained significant across all levels of feeling caught.
