作者研究了少数群体压力模型、传统男性性别角色和感知社会规范在解释男同性恋饮酒、吸烟、非法药物和危险性行为方面的贡献。从列表服务社区招募的 315 名男同性恋者完成了评估内化同性恋恐惧症、耻辱、反同性恋身体攻击、男子气概和对规范健康行为的看法，以及饮酒、非法药物使用、吸烟和高风险性行为等健康风险行为的措施。皮尔逊相关性支持了几个假设；社会规范和男性气质变量与健康风险行为显着相关。四项多元回归分析表明，男性气质和对社会规范的看法可以预测健康风险行为。此外，还发现少数族裔压力与社会规范认知之间存在显着的相互作用。讨论了研究结果的临床意义、局限性以及对未来研究的建议。
The authors examined the contributions of the minority stress model, traditional masculine gender roles, and perceived social norms in accounting for gay men's use of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drugs, and risky sexual practices. Three hundred fifteen gay men recruited from listserv communities completed measures assessing internalized homophobia, stigma, antigay physical attack, masculinity, and perceptions of normative health behaviors, along with health risk behaviors of alcohol use, illicit drug use, smoking, and high-risk sexual behaviors. Pearson correlations supported several hypotheses; social norms and masculinity variables were significantly related to health risk behaviors. Four multiple regression analyses indicated that masculinity and perceptions of social norms predicted health risk behaviors. Additionally, a significant interaction was found between minority stress and perceptions of social norms. The clinical implications of the findings, limitations, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
