    Las personas no-monógamas experimentan dificultades para salir del armario (“outness” en inglés) a raíz del miedo a la discriminación, y esto parece aumentar en personas que pertenecen a más de un grupo minoritario, como las mujeres y personas no binarias bisexuales. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar la influencia del estilo relacional y la motivación a la invisibilidad en la relación entre la anticipación al rechazo y el outness en personas con diversas identidades minoritarias. Participaron 78 mujeres cis y personas no binarias bisexuales con edades comprendidas entre los 20 y los 57 años (M=29.04; DT=7.14). Se evaluaron variables sociodemográficas y el nivel de outness (ad hoc), la motivación a la invisibilidad (LGBIS) y la anticipación al rechazo (MSS). Los resultados indicaron que el nivel de motivación a la invisibilidad es mayor en personas no-monógamas. Los análisis de mediación moderada mostraron que en personas no-monógamas, la motivación a la invisibilidad tiene un efecto mediador en la relación entre la anticipación al rechazo y el outness, y esta mediación está moderada por el estilo relacional. Estos resultados destacan la importancia de normalizar los estilos relacionales diversos para proteger a las personas no-monógamas de la discriminación y el rechazo social.

    Non-monogamous people experience difficulties in coming out (outness) because of fear of discrimination, and this seems to increase in people who belong to more than one minority group, such as women and non-binary bisexual people. The current study aimed to analyse the influence of relational style and invisibility motivation on the relationship between anticipation of rejection and outness in people with diverse minority identities. Participants were 78 women and non-binary bisexual individuals aged 20-57 years (M=29.04; SD=7.14). Sociodemographic variables and level of outness were assessed, together with motivation to invisibility (LGBIS) and anticipation of rejection (MSS). Results indicated that the level of invisibility motivation was higher in non-monogamous people. Moderate mediation analyses showed that in non-monogamous individuals, invisibility motivation had a mediating effect on the relationship between rejection anticipation and outness, and this mediation was moderated by relational style. These results highlight the importance of addressing the specific needs of people with multiple stigmatised identities, and normalising diverse relational styles to protect non-monogamous people from discrimination and social rejection.
