在一项针对高中青年的大规模调查的基础上，作者比较了报告完全异性恋、主要是异性恋、双性恋和以同性为主的青少年在一系列危险行为中的高风险参与。与其他两组相比，双性恋和同性吸引组的特点是高危参与程度更高。中介分析被用来确定这些群体差异是否可以通过一组跨越多个生活领域的标准化预测因素来解释。在加入了假设的干预预测因素后，完全/主要是异性吸引的组合组以及双性恋和同性吸引组之间的差异被减弱(分别为66%和50%)，提供了部分中介的证据。主要中介因素包括个人内(对冒险的态度；学术取向)、人际(同伴受害、父母关系、非结构化活动)和环境(物质可获得性)因素。调解结果在参与者的年龄和性别之间是一致的。文中还讨论了未来研究的意义、局限性和方向。
On the basis of a large-scale survey of high-school youth, the authors compared adolescents reporting exclusively heterosexual, mostly heterosexual, bisexual, and predominately same-sex attraction based on high-risk involvement across a range of risk behaviors. Bisexual and same-sex attracted groups were characterized by heightened high-risk involvement relative to the other two groups. Mediation analysis was used to determine whether these group disparities were explained by a set of normative predictive factors spanning multiple life domains. Differences among a combined exclusively/mostly heterosexual attraction group and both the bisexual and same-sex attraction groups were attenuated (66% and 50%, respectively) after incorporating the hypothesized intervening predictive factors, providing evidence of partial mediation. Primary mediators included intrapersonal (attitudes toward risk-taking; academic orientation), interpersonal (peer victimization; parental relationships; unstructured activities), and environmental (substance availability) factors. Mediation results were consistent across participant age and sex. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.
