这项研究考察了男女同性恋者和双性恋者之间的恋爱关系，作为歧视/受害和抑郁/焦虑之间关系的调节因素。数据来自全国酒精及相关疾病流行病学调查的第二波。分析分别针对男/女同性恋者和双性恋者(N=577名女同性恋者、男同性恋者或双性恋者)。对于男/女同性恋者来说，唯一重要的关联是歧视和焦虑之间的正相关。对于双性恋者，单身人士的歧视与抑郁/焦虑之间存在显著的正相关关系，而与伴侣关系的人则不然。受害和焦虑之间也有显著的关联，但这种关联并没有被关系参与所缓和。研究结果部分支持了关系参与对双性恋者的保护作用。促进人际关系的益处可能有助于减少与性取向相关的健康差距。
This study examined romantic relationship involvement as a moderator of the associations between discrimination/victimization and depression/anxiety in gay/lesbian versus bisexual individuals. Data from Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions were used. Analyses were conducted separately for gay/lesbian versus bisexual individuals (N = 577 lesbian, gay, or bisexual individuals). For gay/lesbian individuals, the only significant association was a positive association between discrimination and anxiety. For bisexual individuals, there were significant positive associations between discrimination and depression/anxiety for those who were single, but not those who were partnered. There was also a significant association between victimization and anxiety, but this association was not moderated by relationship involvement. Findings provide partial support for relationship involvement as protective for bisexual individuals. Promoting the benefits of relationships may contribute to reducing sexual orientation-related health disparities.
