This study used an online survey of a sample of sexual minority Vietnamese women (N = 302, Mean = 21.23) who self-identified as lesbian (48.7%), bisexual (42.2%), and other (8.9%). The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship among self-disclosure, internalized homophobia, and symptoms of depression. This topic has never before been studied in Vietnam. Structural equation modeling indicates that a higher level of self-disclosure with friends and coworkers leads to less self-stigmatization and less sexual prejudice. In addition, sexual minority women’s self-disclosure affects all three aspects of depression (negative affect, positive affect, and interpersonal relationships).

越南性少数女性的性自我披露，内在的恐同症和抑郁症状

这项研究使用了一项在线调查，该调查样本是自我识别为女同性恋（48.7％），双性恋（42.2％）和其他（8.9％）的越南少数民族女性（N = 302，平均数= 21.23）。该研究的目的是研究自我披露，内在的恐同症和抑郁症状之间的关系。越南从未研究过此主题。结构方程模型表明，与朋友和同事的自我披露水平较高，导致较少的自我污名化和较少的性偏见。此外，少数族裔女性的自我披露会影响抑郁症的所有三个方面（负面影响，正面影响和人际关系）。
