Background: A high level of depressive symptoms is a universal phenomenon among gay groups. Autonomy support, which refers to supporting an opportunity for others to authentically express themselves and behave consistently with their own beliefs, values and interests, is considered a critical protective factor facilitating the relief of depressive symptoms in gay men. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between two sources of autonomy support (from parents and friends) and depressive symptoms in a Chinese context and evaluate the mediating effects of internalized homonegativity and rumination. Methods: Altogether, 385 Chinese gay men (mean age = 24.00 years old, standard deviation (SD) = 4.84) who were voluntarily recruited by web-sampling were measured on scales regarding autonomy support, internalized homonegativity, rumination and depressive symptoms. Results: Autonomy support from both parents and friends were negatively correlated with depressive symptoms among Chinese gay men. Internalized homonegativity and rumination played a sequential mediating role between friends' autonomy support and depressive symptoms, yet this sequential mediation effect was not significant between parental autonomy support and depressive symptoms. Limitations: The cross-sectional design limited casual inferences between variables. The effects of domain-specific autonomy support were not involved in this study, and other mediators between autonomy support and depressive symptoms and more sociodemographic variables should be considered. Conclusion: Autonomy support from both parents and friends might be protective factors against depressive symptoms in Chinese gay men. Friends' autonomy support was related to decreased depressive symptoms via lower internalized homonegativity and rumination, while parental autonomy support was related to less depressive symptoms through other possible mechanisms.
研究表明同伴侵害是青少年抑郁的重要风险因素,然而其中介机制和调节机制仍有待进一步探究.本研究采用问卷法对834名青少年进行调查,考察了社会退缩在同伴侵害与青少年抑郁关系中的中介作用,以及师生关系在这一关系中的调节作用.结果 发现:(1)社会退缩显著中介同伴侵害与青少年抑郁的关系;(2)师生关系显著调节中介路径“同伴侵害→社会退缩→青少年抑郁”,具体而言,相较于高水平师生关系的青少年群体而言,同伴侵害通过社会退缩影响抑郁的中介效应在低水平师生关系的青少年群体中更高.
目的:考察男同性恋者恋爱状况与生活满意度的关系,并考察性取向隐瞒与应对自我效能感在其间的链式中介效应.方法:采用恋爱状况调查题项、生活满意度量表、性取向隐瞒量表以及应对自我效能感量表对417名国内男同性恋者进行调查.结果:(1)男同性恋者恋爱状况与生活满意度存在显著相关,有固定恋人者生活满意度显著高于无固定恋人者;(2)性取向隐瞒与应对自我效能感的其中两个维度(问题中心应对效能、不良情绪应对效能)在男同性恋者恋爱状况与生活满意度间存在链式中介效应.结论:恋爱关系是提升男同性恋者生活满意度的重要因素,这种提升可通过降低性取向隐瞒和增加应对自我效能感的方式实现.
Among adolescents, exposure to community violence (ECV) has been consistently linked to problem behaviors such as Internet gaming disorder (IGD). However, the associated risk and protective factors have not been adequately explored in past studies. Therefore, in accordance with the risk-buffering model and social development model, this study aimed to test whether parental monitoring moderated the relationship between ECV and IGD among adolescents, and whether this moderating effect was mediated by affiliations with risk-taking peer groups. A sample of 2,423 Chinese middle-school students anonymously responded to questionnaires that assessed ECV, IGD, affiliations with risk-taking peer groups, and parental monitoring. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that the interaction between ECV and parental monitoring negatively related to IGD among adolescents. Specifically, the positive relationship between ECV and IGD was stronger for adolescents, who reported low levels of parental monitoring than for those who reported high levels of parental monitoring. Moreover, this moderating effect was mediated by affiliations with risk-taking peer groups. These results suggest that parental monitoring is an important protective factor that can mitigate the risk of IGD among adolescents who have been exposed to community violence. Accordingly, these findings serve as an empirical base upon which prevention and intervention strategies that are aimed at mitigating the risk of IGD among adolescents can be developed.
内化同性恋嫌恶是同性恋者经历对外界偏见的内化过程后,所形成的对自身性取向的负性态度.本文在回顾和分析内化同性恋嫌恶形成及影响机制相关研究的基础上,尝试提出整合性的内化同性恋嫌恶形成/影响机制假设模型.最后,本文提出进一步验证和发展内化同性恋嫌恶形成/影响机制模型、考察缓解内化同性恋嫌恶影响的保护因素及加强内化同性恋嫌恶的本土化研究是未来的研究方向.
目的:考察当代年轻男同性恋者性取向隐瞒的特点及对生命意义感的影响,并探究基本心理需要满足在性取向隐瞒与生命意义感间的中介机制.方法:使用性取向隐瞒问卷、基本心理需要满足问卷、生命意义感问卷对402名年轻男同性恋者进行考察.结果:①非独生子女性取向隐瞒显著高于独生子女,而无固定恋人者的性取向隐瞒显著高于有固定恋人者;②性取向隐瞒与拥有意义感呈显著负相关,与寻求意义感相关不显著;③自主需要、能力需要的满足在性取向隐瞒与生命意义感之间起中介作用.结论:年轻男同性恋者性取向隐瞒存在个体差异.性取向隐瞒可一定程度影响生命意义感,且通过基本心理需要满足间接影响而实现.
