Figures & data
Table 1. Descriptive statistics and group differences for age, gender dysphoria (UGDS), general life satisfaction (SWLS), sexual satisfaction (GMSEX), anxiety and depression (HADS), sexual self-concept discrepancies, and sexual orientation
Table 2. Descriptive statistics for the sexual self-concept components
Table 3. Sexual Self-Concept scales as a function of gender identity (2 levels: man, woman) and cisgender/transgender identity (2 levels: cisgender, transgender)
Table 4. Regression outcomes for the four mediation models
Figure 1. Coefficients for mediation models assessing the mediating effect of actual/ideal sexual self-concept discrepancies on the relationship between gender dysphoria and Sexual Esteem – Body Perception, Sexual Esteem – Conduct, Sexual Esteem – Attractiveness, and Sexual Attitudes – Anxiety in the transgender sample. The values in parentheses present the direct (i.e. unmediated) path. Sobel test values for the four models: z= −3.18 (Sexual Esteem – Body Perception model), z= −3.83 (Sexual Esteem – Conduct model), z= −3.97 (Sexual Esteem – Attractiveness model), and z= 3.60 (Sexual Attitudes – Anxiety model) (p< .001* for all values). Betas are unstandardized.
