在这项研究中,研究了女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋(LGB)青年中严重自杀企图的预测因素。比较了三组:报告没有尝试的青少年、报告尝试与其性取向无关的青少年以及尝试被认为与其性取向有关的青少年。-大约三分之一的受访者报告至少有一次自杀企图;然而,只有一半的企图被认为是严重的基础上潜在的致命性。大约一半的企图与青少年的性取向有关。有自杀企图的青少年与无自杀企图的青少年之间的差异主要是儿童期父母的心理虐待和儿童期性别非典型行为。同性恋相关的自杀企图与LGB的可识别性相关,特别是父母。早期对性取向的开放,被父母认为是儿童时期的性别非典型,以及父母努力阻止性别非典型行为与同性恋相关的自杀企图有关,特别是男性。评估过去的父母心理虐待,父母对儿童期性别非典型行为的反应,青少年对家庭成员性取向的开放性,以及终身同性恋相关的言语虐待可以帮助预测这一人群的自杀企图。
In this study predictors of serious suicide attempts among lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth were examined. Three groups were compared: youth who reported no attempts, youth who reported attempts unrelated to their sexual orientation, and youth whose attempts were considered related to their sexual orientation.-About one third of respondents reported at least one suicide attempt; however, only half of the attempts were judged serious based on potential lethality. About half of all attempts were related to youths' sexual orientation. Factors that differentiated youth reporting suicide attempts and those not reporting attempts were greater childhood parental psychological abuse and more childhood genderatypical behavior. Gay-related suicide attempts were associated with identifiability as LGB, especially by parents. Early openness about sexual orientation, being considered gender atypical in childhood by parents, and parental efforts to discourage gender atypical behavior were associated with gay-related suicide attempts, especially for males. Assessment of past parental psychological abuse, parental reactions to childhood gender atypical behavior, youths' openness about sexual orientation with family members, and lifetime gay-related verbal abuse can assist in the prediction of suicide attempts in this population.
