项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research has long suggested that a relationship exists between identifying as sexual minority (SM; e.g., gay males, lesbians, and bisexuals) and health concerns such as depression, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse. Contemporary research with SM has sought to determine which processes mediate this relationship. Theorists have offered several potential mediators, but a consensus of which processes act as mediators does not exist among theorists. Meyer (2003) has offered the minority stress hypothesis as an explanatory model. His model posits that three mediation processes exist: prejudice events, stigma consciousness, and internalized homophobia. The proposed study seeks to test the minority stress hypothesis in a diverse sample of SM college males and females from the Pacific Northwest via the Internet. African American and Latino groups, though, often experience other factors that may have a negative effect on their mental health that are not included in the model (e.g., racist discrimination), which may make the model inappropriate for these individuals. The proposed study also seeks to test the minority stress hypothesis in a sample comprised entirely of SM African American and Latino college students. Should the model be inappropriate, a third model will be constructed that incorporates variables such as racist discrimination, family religiosity, and importance of being supported by one's family.

描述（由申请人提供）：长期以来，研究表明，在确定少数群体（例如，同性恋男性，女同性恋和双性恋者）之间存在关系，以及抑郁症，自杀意念和滥用毒品等健康问题。使用SM的当代研究试图确定哪些过程调解了这种关系。理论家提供了几个潜在的调解人，但是在理论家中，这些过程的共识不存在。 Meyer（2003）将少数压力假设作为解释模型。他的模型认为存在三个调解过程：偏见事件，污名化意识和内在的同性恋恐惧症。拟议的研究旨在通过互联网从太平洋西北部的SM大学男性和女性的各种样本中检验少数派压力假设。但是，非洲裔美国人和拉丁裔群体经常经历其他因素可能对其心理健康产生负面影响的因素，而这些因素可能不包括在模型中（例如种族主义歧视），这可能会使模型不适合这些人。拟议的研究还旨在检验完全由SM非裔美国人和拉丁裔大学学生组成的样本中的少数压力假设。如果模型不合适，将建立第三个模型，其中结合了种族主义歧视，家庭宗教信仰和受到家庭支持的重要性等变量。
