从历史上看，女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋，变性人和质疑（LGBTQ）取向的病理化塑造了研究和专业实践，而耻辱的影响没有被考虑。然而，在少数压力概念化中，LGBTQ人群经历的与耻辱相关的偏见和歧视构成了可能导致负面健康结果的长期压力事件。少数民族压力与男女同性恋者的心理困扰有关，可能导致LGBTQ青年中经常观察到的困扰率升高。本研究探讨了少数民族压力对爱尔兰LGBTQ青年心理困扰的影响。对16-24岁的LGBTQ青年（N = 301）进行了在线评估少数民族压力的三个组成部分（性身份困扰，污名意识和异性恋经历）的措施。每一个少数民族的压力源有一个显着的独立协会与痛苦。逐步回归分析表明，少数民族压力源的线性组合对抑郁有显著的预测作用[F（3，201）= 30.80，p
Historically, the pathologization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) orientations shaped research and professional practice, while the impact of stigma was not considered. Within a minority stress conceptualization however, stigma-related prejudice and discrimination experienced by LGBTQ people constitute chronically stressful events that can lead to negative health outcomes. Minority stress has been linked to psychological distress among gay men and lesbians and may contribute to elevated rates of distress frequently observed among LGBTQ youth. This study explored the impact of minority stress on psychological distress among LGBTQ youth in Ireland. Measures assessing three components of minority stress (sexual identity distress, stigma consciousness, and heterosexist experiences) were administered online to LGBTQ youth aged 16-24 years (N = 301). Each minority stressor had a significant independent association with distress. Stepwise regression analyses identified the linear combination of minority stressors as significantly predictive of distress [F(3,201) = 30.80, p
