ABSTRACT

Using data from the Center for Collegiate Mental Health (CCMH), the present study examines the role family relationships have in explaining mental health outcomes for transgender and gender nonconforming (TG/GNC) college students who present to university counseling centers. A structural equation model indicates that TG and GNC collegiate clients report significantly worse family relationships relative to cisgender clients, which contributes to their greater mental distress. Net of their poor family relationships, TG students actually report less mental distress relative to cisgender students. The indirect effect of the TG students’ adverse family relationships on mental distress, however, overwhelms this direct effect. Similarly, the analysis shows the gap between cisgender and GNC students in mental distress would be much smaller if it were not for the latter’s negative family relationships. These findings improve the understanding of how family relationships impact mental health outcomes for gender minority college students well into early adulthood.

家庭关系在大学咨询中心跨性别和性别不合格大学生心理健康困扰中的作用

摘要

本研究使用来自大学心理健康中心 (CCMH) 的数据,研究了家庭关系在解释向大学咨询中心提供的跨性别和性别不合格 (TG/GNC) 大学生的心理健康结果方面的作用。结构方程模型表明,TG 和 GNC 大学客户报告的家庭关系相对于顺性别客户明显更差,这导致他们更大的精神痛苦。扣除他们糟糕的家庭关系后,TG 学生实际上报告的精神压力相对于顺性别学生来说更少。然而,TG 学生不利的家庭关系对精神痛苦的间接影响压倒了这种直接影响。相似地,分析表明,如果不是后者的消极家庭关系,顺性别学生和 GNC 学生在精神压力方面的差距会小得多。这些发现提高了对家庭关系如何影响性别少数大学生成年早期心理健康结果的理解。
