Abstract

Minority stress has a range of negative and protective outcomes for lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, and other sexual minority (LGBQ+) people. The internalization of societal stigma associated with sexual minority relationships may impact decisions related to outness and/or concealment of one’s romantic relationship, which may affect the relationship. Building on previous research, we examined whether internalized stigma and sexual orientation concealment predicted lower romantic relationship satisfaction in LGBQ + people, and whether outness about one’s sexual orientation predicted better relationship satisfaction. We also examined whether outness and concealment mediated internalized stigma's effects on relationship satisfaction. Hierarchical regression results (N = 214) demonstrated that internalized stigma was a significant negative predictor of relationship satisfaction, outness was a significant positive predictor, and concealment was not a unique predictor. Mediation analysis demonstrated that internalized stigma had a significant direct effect on relationship satisfaction, along with a significant indirect effect through lower outness. Although internalized stigma was associated with greater concealment, concealment did not mediate the relationship between it and relationship satisfaction. Kelley and Thibault’s interdependence model, alongside minority stress theory, are used to understand these variables' effects on relationship satisfaction. Counseling and research implications are discussed.

使用内化的污名、外在和隐瞒预测 LGBQ + 人们的关系满意度

摘要

少数民族压力对女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、酷儿和其他性少数 (LGBQ+) 人有一系列负面和保护性结果。与性少数关系相关的社会污名的内化可能会影响与外在和/或隐瞒自己的浪漫关系有关的决定,这可能会影响这种关系。在先前研究的基础上,我们研究了内化污名和性取向隐瞒是否会预测 LGBQ + 人群较低的浪漫关系满意度,以及是否对一个人的性取向的外在性预测更好的关系满意度。我们还研究了外在和隐瞒是否介导了内化污名对关系满意度的影响。分层回归结果 ( N = 214) 表明内化污名是关系满意度的显着负预测因子,外在是显着的正预测因子,而隐瞒不是唯一的预测因子。中介分析表明,内化的污名对关系满意度有显着的直接影响,并通过降低外在性产生显着的间接影响。尽管内化污名与更大程度的隐瞒有关,但隐瞒并没有调节它与关系满意度之间的关系。Kelley 和 Thibault 的相互依赖模型,连同少数压力理论,被用来理解这些变量对关系满意度的影响。讨论了咨询和研究意义。
