  "abstract": "The present study examined how profiles of personal and social (i.e., religious, sexual orientation, U.S., ethnic-racial) identity centrality were related to psychological adjustment among Hispanic/Latine sexual minoritized emerging adult (SMEA) college students (N = 229, Mage = 19.29, SD = 1.55, 74.7% female; 48.5% bisexual). Using latent profile analysis, three distinct profiles emerged: institutionally disengaged (43.4%), characterized by low religious and ethnic-racial identity centrality; fully engaged identity (42.5%) marked by high centrality across all domains; and deindividuated assimilated (14.0%), characterized by high U.S. and religious centrality, and low personal and ethnic-racial centrality. Profiles differed in adjustment, with the fully engaged identity profile exhibiting the highest psychological well-being and lower depressive symptoms compared to institutionally disengaged. Deindividuated assimilated reported the lowest psychological well-being. Findings underscore meaningful heterogeneity in how multiple identities are organized among Hispanic/Latine SMEA and suggest that multidomain identity engagement may be linked to better adjustment, helping to inform culturally responsive prevention and intervention efforts.",
