This study examined how minority stressors mediate the association between sexual orientation disclosure to classmates and well-being in a sample of 238 Latinx sexual minority youth (SMY; age range: 14–24 years). Results indicated that sexual orientation disclosure to classmates was associated with higher levels of sexual orientation-based victimization, which contributed to higher levels of internalized homonegativity, which ultimately contributed to higher levels of depressive symptoms and lower self-esteem. Sexual orientation-based victimization and internalized homonegativity were positively associated with depressive symptoms and negatively associated with self-esteem but sexual orientation disclosure to classmates was only positively associated with depressive symptoms. Associations between sexual orientation-based victimization and internalized homonegativity were stronger among college Latinx SMY compared to SMY in high school.

拉丁裔性少数高中和大学青年向同学披露性取向

本研究调查了少数族裔压力源如何在 238 名拉丁裔性少数青年（SMY；年龄范围：14-24 岁）样本中调节向同学披露性取向与幸福感之间的关联。结果表明，向同学披露性取向与更高水平的基于性取向的受害相关，这导致更高水平的内化同质性，最终导致更高水平的抑郁症状和更低的自尊。基于性取向的受害和内化同源性与抑郁症状呈正相关，与自尊呈负相关，但向同学透露性取向仅与抑郁症状呈正相关。
