几项新的研究表明，年轻人的性别身份流动性很高，但很少有研究调查身份变化与心理健康之间的联系。本研究采用全国青少年至成人健康纵向研究（N = 11,727），采用多元回归和倾向评分匹配的方法探讨身份改变对抑郁症状的影响。研究结果显示，只有性别认同向同性取向的转变与抑郁症状的增加有关。此外，身份变化的负面影响主要集中在基线时被认定为异性恋或没有报告过同性浪漫吸引或关系的个人身上。在性取向认同稳定的受访者中，抑郁症状没有发现性取向认同的差异。未来的研究应该继续调查导致身份改变和抑郁之间关系的因素，比如围绕性流动性的耻辱感。
Several new studies have documented high rates of sexual identity mobility among young adults, but little work has investigated the links between identity change and mental health. This study uses the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (N = 11,727) and employs multivariate regression and propensity score matching to investigate the impact of identity change on depressive symptoms. The results reveal that only changes in sexual identity toward more same-sex-oriented identities are associated with increases in depressive symptoms. Moreover, the negative impacts of identity change are concentrated among individuals who at baseline identified as heterosexual or had not reported same-sex romantic attraction or relationships. No differences in depressive symptoms by sexual orientation identity were found among respondents who reported stable identities. Future research should continue to investigate the factors that contribute to the relationship between identity change and depression, such as stigma surrounding sexual fluidity.
