Abstract

Introduction:

We tested a moderated, serial mediation model of past-year suicidal ideation among sexual minority adults.

Method:

Participants (N = 198) completed an anonymous online survey.

Result:

The relation between internalized homophobia and past-year suicidal ideation can be partly explained by sexual orientation self-concept ambiguity and feelings of loneliness, especially among individuals who may be more likely to conceal their sexuality.

Conclusion:

Strategic sexual orientation disclosure, clinical advocacy for LGB + community involvement, and support programs that facilitate positive sexual identity development may be integral to intervention strategies that seek to reduce the risk of suicide in sexual minority adults.

探索性少数成年人自杀意念的途径：一个有节制的连续调解模型

摘要

介绍：

我们在性少数成年人中测试了过去一年自杀意念的适度连续调解模型。

方法：

参与者 ( N  = 198) 完成了一项匿名在线调查。

结果：

内化同性恋恐惧症与过去一年的自杀意念之间的关系可以部分解释为性取向自我概念的模糊性和孤独感，尤其是在可能更可能隐藏自己性取向的个体中。

结论：

战略性性取向披露、LGB + 社区参与的临床宣传以及促进积极性认同发展的支持计划可能是旨在降低性少数成年人自杀风险的干预策略的组成部分。
