同性恋还是内化的同性恋消极情绪是影响男男性行为者心理健康的关键变量，一直以来都存在争议。作为一项更大的研究的一部分，422名中西部的同性恋男子完成了关于同性恋程度、内化同性恋消极情绪和抑郁程度的问卷调查。Logistic回归模型发现，内化的同性恋消极情绪，但没有发现同性恋程度，与更大的适应性抑郁（OR = 1.5）、重度抑郁（OR = 2.6）、心境恶劣（OR = 1.5）和接受治疗的可能性（OR = 1.4）显著相关。内化的同性恋消极性也与整体性健康、性心理成熟、性取向舒适度、“外向性”和同伴社会化呈负相关。内化的同性恋消极情绪，而不是同性恋，似乎与负面的健康结果有关。提供者应促进性健康，避免加强内化的同性恋消极情绪的干预。
Whether homosexuality or internalized homo-negativity is the critical variable affecting the mental health of men who have sex with men has long been debated. As part of a larger study, 422 Midwestern homosexual men completed questionnaires examining degree of homosexuality, internalized homo-negativity, and depression. Logistic regression modeling identified internalized homo-negativity, but not degree of homosexuality, as significantly associated with greater adjustment depression (OR = 1.5), major depression (OR = 2.6), dysthymia (OR = 1.5), and likelihood of being in therapy (OR = 1.4). Internalized homo-negativity was also negatively associated with overall sexual health, psychosexual maturation, comfort with sexual orientation, "outness," and peer socialization. Internalized homo-negativity, not homosexuality, appears associated with negative health outcomes. Providers should promote sexual health and avoid interventions that reinforce internalized homo-negativity.
