与异性恋和同性恋男性相比，双性恋男性受到负面心理健康结果的影响不成比例。这些差异与他们所经历的独特压力有关，新出现的证据表明，他们对这些压力的经历可能因伴侣的性别而异。然而，以前的研究主要集中在双性恋女性，很少有人知道伴侣性别在双性恋男性的经历和心理健康中的作用。我们使用来自全国污名和性健康研究第一波的数据，研究了关系类型和外向性，污名相关经历和心理健康之间的关系，该研究是美国502名同性恋和双性恋男性的基于概率的样本，分析集中在128名双性恋男性的子集上（44.53%与女性有关系，14.84%与男性有关系，40.63%没有关系）。与男性关系中的双性恋男性比与女性关系中的双性恋男性和没有关系的双性恋男性更容易外出;此外，与男性关系中的双性恋男性比与女性关系中的双性恋男性受到更多的歧视和家庭压力。没有恋爱关系的双性恋男性比那些与男性有关系的人报告了更多的预期和内化的耻辱;此外，没有恋爱关系的双性恋男性比那些与女性有关系的人报告了更多的预期耻辱和抑郁。伴侣性别在双性恋男性的污名相关经历和心理健康中起着重要作用，改善双性恋男性健康的努力应该关注性取向，关系状况和伴侣性别。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023阿帕，保留所有权利）
Bisexual men are disproportionately affected by negative mental health outcomes compared to heterosexual and gay men. These disparities are related to the unique stressors that they experience, and emerging evidence suggests that their experiences of these stressors can be different depending on the gender of their partner. However, previous studies have largely focused on bisexual women and little is known about the role of partner gender in bisexual men’s experiences and mental health. We examined the associations between relationship type and outness, stigma-related experiences, and mental health using data from Wave 1 of the National Study of Stigma and Sexual Health, a probability-based sample of 502 gay and bisexual men in the US Analyses focused on the subset of 128 men who identified as bisexual (44.53% in relationships with women, 14.84% in relationships with men, 40.63% not in relationships). Bisexual men in relationships with men reported being more out than those in relationships with women and those who were not in relationships; furthermore, bisexual men in relationships with men reported more discrimination and family stress than those in relationships with women. Bisexual men who were not in relationships reported more anticipated and internalized stigma than those in relationships with men; additionally, bisexual men who were not in relationships reported more anticipated stigma and depression than those in relationships with women. Partner gender plays a role in bisexual men’s stigma-related experiences and mental health, and efforts to improve bisexual men’s health should attend to sexual orientation, relationship status, and partner gender.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved)
