Minority stress processes have been consistently linked to increased internalizing symptoms among sexual minority individuals. However, very little research has studied the impact of minority stress on the mental health of same-sex couples. The present study examined associations of actor and partner heterosexist microaggressions and internalized heterosexism with internalizing symptoms, moderated by dyadic coping, among male same-sex couples. Participants were 774 men who have sex with men (387 dyads). Results of actor-partner interdependence models showed that actor, but not partner, minority stress was positively associated with internalizing symptoms. Dyadic coping moderated the association of actor heterosexist microaggressions on internalizing symptoms such that for those who engaged in more dyadic coping, the association of heterosexist microaggressions with internalizing symptoms was weaker. Dyadic coping also moderated the association of partner internalized heterosexism on internalizing symptoms. For those who engaged in more dyadic coping, their partner's internalized heterosexism was associated with greater internalizing symptoms. Although dyadic coping may buffer the effects of minority stress on internalizing symptoms, if partners rely too heavily on one another to cope with stress, it may be detrimental to their mental health. Implications for relationship education interventions for same-sex couples are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

使用演员-伴侣相互依赖模型检查男性同性伴侣中的少数群体压力，二重应对和内化症状。

少数族裔的压力过程一直与少数族裔个体内部症状的增加联系在一起。但是，很少有研究研究少数群体压力对同性伴侣心理健康的影响。本研究在男性同性伴侣中研究了演员和伴侣异性恋微侵略与内在异性恋与内在症状（由二元应对缓解）之间的关联。参加者为774名与男性发生性关系的男性（387人）。演员-伴侣相互依赖模型的结果表明，演员而不是伴侣的少数群体压力与内在症状呈正相关。双向应对可以缓解演员异性恋微侵略与内在症状之间的联系，这样对于那些进行双向应对的人来说，异性恋微侵略与内在症状之间的联系较弱。双向应对还缓解了伴侣内部化异性恋与内部化症状之间的联系。对于那些进行二元对策的人来说，他们伴侣的内在异性恋与更大的内在症状有关。尽管二元应对可以缓解少数群体压力对内在症状的影响，但如果伴侣之间过分地依靠彼此来应对压力，则可能对他们的心理健康有害。讨论了对同性伴侣进行关系教育干预的意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。对于那些进行二元对策的人来说，他们伴侣的内在异性恋与更大的内在症状有关。尽管二元应对可以缓解少数群体压力对内在症状的影响，但如果伴侣之间过分地依靠彼此来应对压力，则可能对他们的心理健康有害。讨论了对同性伴侣进行关系教育干预的意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。对于那些进行二元对策的人来说，他们伴侣的内在异性恋与更大的内在症状有关。尽管二元应对可以缓解少数群体压力对内在症状的影响，但如果伴侣之间过分地依靠彼此来应对压力，则可能对他们的心理健康有害。讨论了对同性伴侣进行关系教育干预的意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。讨论了对同性伴侣进行关系教育干预的意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。讨论了对同性伴侣进行关系教育干预的意义。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021 APA，保留所有权利）。
