There has been little research attention given to how Gay-Straight Alliances might mitigate mental health consequences associated with experiencing homophobic cyberbullying. To address this gap in knowledge, the purpose of this one-year longitudinal study was to investigate the moderating effect of perceived social support from Gay-Straight Alliances in the relationships among homophobic cyberbullying victimization and bystanding and depressive and anxiety symptoms among 466 LGBTQIA adolescents (M_age = 15.76; 52% female). The findings revealed that perceived social support was related negatively to homophobic cyberbullying involvement and depressive and anxiety symptoms. Homophobic cyberbullying involvement was related positively to depressive and anxiety symptoms. High perceived social support buffered against the depressive and anxiety symptoms resulting from homophobic victimization and bystanding among LGBTQIA adolescents but low levels and average levels did not moderate these associations. These findings highlight the importance of expanding Gay-Straight Alliances in schools.

几乎没有研究关注同性恋异性恋联盟如何减轻与遭受恐同网络欺凌相关的心理健康后果。为了解决这一知识差距，这项为期一年的纵向研究的目的是调查来自同性恋异性恋联盟的感知社会支持在 466 名 LGBTQIA 青少年的恐同网络欺凌受害与旁观以及抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关系中的调节作用。玛格_{_} = 15.76; 52% 女性）。研究结果表明，感知到的社会支持与恐同网络欺凌以及抑郁和焦虑症状呈负相关。恐同性网络欺凌与抑郁和焦虑症状呈正相关。高感知的社会支持缓冲了 LGBTQIA 青少年因恐同受害和旁观而导致的抑郁和焦虑症状，但低水平和平均水平并没有缓和这些关联。这些发现强调了在学校扩大异性恋联盟的重要性。
