Non-Verbal Pride Expressions As A Predictor Of Lgbtq Health, Craig Gilbert
Theses and Dissertations
Pride is a self-conscious, positive emotion that has been assessed in a wide range of populations and with a variety of pre-validated measures. Research has shown that the presence of pride can function as a potential resilience factor against minority based stress and has been linked to increased emotional well being, life satisfaction, and self-esteem.
