在青春期和青年期参与浪漫关系提供了探索一个人的性行为的机会，但一旦这些关系解散，也可能导致痛苦。虽然研究人员声称，参与同性关系可能有利于年轻男同性恋和双性恋者（YGBM）的心理社会健康，但对YGBM在参与同性关系后对分手的评估知之甚少。我们研究了自我报告的心理健康（例如，抑郁和焦虑的症状;自尊，个人能力感）和YGBM对分手的负面和正面评价，在一个单一的YGBM样本（N=1,040;年龄18-24）谁报告了以前严重的同性关系。负面评价与较低的心理健康有关。积极的评价与更大的焦虑症状，自尊和个人能力感。我们的研究结果强调了承认YGBM对分手的不同反应可能与他们的心理健康有关的必要性。
Participation in romantic relationships during adolescence and young adulthood provides opportunities to explore one’s sexuality, yet may also cause distress once these relationships dissolve. Although researchers have asserted that participation in same-sex relationships may be beneficial for young gay and bisexual men’s (YGBM) psychosocial well-being, less is known about YGBM appraisals of breakups after participating in same-sex relationships. We examined the association between self-reported psychological well-being (e.g., symptoms of depression and anxiety; self-esteem, sense of personal competency) and YGBM’s negative and positive appraisals of breakups within a sample of single YGBM (N=1,040; ages 18–24) who reported prior serious same-sex relationships. Negative appraisals were associated with lower psychological well-being. Positive appraisals were associated with greater anxiety symptoms, self-esteem and sense of personal competency. Our findings highlight the need to acknowledge how YGBM’s differential responses to breakups may be associated with their psychological well-being.
