使用全州范围内的女同性恋，男同性恋，双性恋和酷儿（LGBQ）青年（N = 484）的概率样本，本研究使用一般应变理论框架，以更好地了解连接LGBQ青年的受害，负面结果和社会支持的经验的过程。结果表明，虽然受害可靠地预测负面结果，包括学习成绩差，物质使用和自杀，社会支持的调节作用是不可靠的，与理论预期相反。将社会支持从一个调节变量重新定义为一个独立变量，有助于阐明社会支持在LGBQ青少年负面结果经历中的作用。的影响进行了讨论。
Using a statewide probability sample of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) youth (N = 484), this study uses a general strain theory framework to better understand the processes that connect LGBQ youths' experiences with victimization, negative outcomes, and social support. Results show that while victimization reliably predicts negative outcomes, including poor academic performance, substance use, and suicidality, the moderating effects of social support are unreliable and contrary to theoretical expectations. Reconceptualizing social support from a moderating variable to social isolation, an independent variable, helps elucidate the role of social support in LGBQ youths' experiences with negative outcomes. Implications are discussed.
