参加芝加哥多中心艾滋病队列研究的同性恋和双性恋男性（N = 825）完成了一项90分钟的自我管理问卷调查，其中包括罗森伯格自尊量表、幸福指数和霍普金斯症状检查表。参与者表示他们的经验与同性恋污名，他们作为男同性恋者的能见度，他们在同性恋社区的参与，以及他们的承诺，一个积极的同性恋身份。来自这个主要是白色，年轻，受过教育的中产阶级队列的数据是一致的结构模型，其中文化耻辱与积极的自我认知呈负相关。组内结果与组间结果形成鲜明对比，表明我们的同性恋群体与非污名化样本相比，既不是特别低的全球自尊，也不是特别高的心理困扰。
Homosexual and bisexual men (N = 825) enrolled in the Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study in Chicago completed a 90-minute self-administered questionnaire that included the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, a Well-Being Index, and the Hopkins Symptom Checklist. Participants indicated their experiences with gay stigma, their visibility as gay men, their involvement in the gay community, and their commitment to a positive gay identity. Data from this predominantly white, young, educated, and middle-class cohort are consistent with a structural model in which cultural stigma is negatively associated with positive self-perceptions. This within-group result contrasts sharply with between-group results that indicate our gay cohort was neither particularly low in global self-esteem nor high in psychological distress when compared to nonstigmatized samples.
