ABSTRACT

Background and Objective

Research related to anxiety among sexual minority men (SMM) typically focuses on risk factors. It has seldom examined factors that may be associated with lower levels of anxiety. This gap in the literature represents an opportunity to explore positive psychological factors that may be related to lower levels of anxiety among this group. Spirituality and self-compassion are two positive psychological factors that have been associated with reduced anxiety in general samples but have been understudied among SMM. This study aimed to determine the longitudinal associations between spirituality, self-compassion, and anxiety.

Design and Methods

Guided by an Afrocentric psychological framework, we conducted a secondary quantitative analysis with data from a racially and ethnically diverse sample of 697 U.S. SMM.

Results

Utilizing Hayes PROCESS Macro Model 4, we found that spirituality at baseline was positively associated with self-compassion at baseline, which in turn was inversely associated with anxiety at 12-month follow-up.

Conclusions

Overall, our findings provide evidence that spirituality and self-compassion are two positive psychological factors that are inversely associated with anxiety among SMM.

性少数男性的灵性、自我同情和焦虑:纵向中介分析

摘要

背景和目标

与性少数男性 (SMM) 焦虑相关的研究通常侧重于风险因素。它很少检查可能与较低水平的焦虑相关的因素。文献中的这一差距代表了一个探索可能与该群体较低水平焦虑相关的积极心理因素的机会。灵性和自我同情是两个积极的心理因素,在一般样本中与焦虑减少有关,但在 SMM 中尚未得到充分研究。本研究旨在确定灵性、自我同情和焦虑之间的纵向关联。

设计与方法

在以非洲为中心的心理学框架的指导下,我们对来自 697 名美国 SMM 的种族和民族多样化样本的数据进行了二次定量分析。

结果

利用 Hayes PROCESS Macro Model 4,我们发现基线时的灵性与基线时的自我同情呈正相关,而后者又与 12 个月随访时的焦虑呈负相关。

结论

总体而言,我们的研究结果提供的证据表明,灵性和自我同情是与 SMM 中的焦虑呈负相关的两个积极心理因素。
