尽管对青少年人群中非自杀性自我伤害（NSSI）的患病率和相关性越来越感兴趣，但相对较少的研究对女同性恋，男同性恋和双性恋（LGB）青少年中的NSSI进行了研究。目前的研究探讨了性问题和情绪失调的升高作为性取向和非自杀性自伤（NSSI）升高之间关系的潜在机制。一个社区样本的1,799名青少年完成了一份问卷，评估NSSI，性取向，性问题，情绪调节。在整个研究中，20.6%的青少年报告了NSSI病史。青少年谁确定为大多是异性恋，双性恋，大多是同性恋者更有可能从事比同性恋，异性恋和无性恋青少年的NSSI。多元中介分析表明，情绪调节，而不是性的关注，介导性取向和NSSI之间的关系。目前的研究测试了性取向可以预测NSSI参与的两种理论途径。研究结果表明，一般心理过程的文献，以及特定群体的少数民族的压力，可以揭示高利率的NSSI LGB人群。具体而言，LGB青少年面临的挑战可能会破坏情绪调节的发展。因此，这应该是对参与国家社会服务安全倡议的男女同性恋、双性恋和变性者青少年进行干预的一个关键目标。
Despite increasing interest in the prevalence and correlates of Non-Suicidal Self-Injury (NSSI) in adolescent populations, relatively few studies have examined NSSI among lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) adolescents. The current study explored sexuality concerns and elevated emotion dysregulation as potential mechanisms underlying the relationship between sexual orientation and elevated non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). A community sample of 1,799 adolescents completed a questionnaire assessing NSSI, sexual orientation, sexuality concerns, and emotion regulation. Across the study, 20.6% of adolescents reported a history of NSSI. Adolescents who identify as mostly heterosexual, bisexual, and mostly homosexual were more likely to engage in NSSI than gay/lesbian, heterosexual, and asexual adolescents. Multiple mediation analysis showed that emotion regulation, but not sexuality concerns, mediated the relationship between sexual orientation and NSSI. The current study tested two theoretical pathways by which sexual orientation could predict NSSI engagement. Findings suggest that literature on general psychological processes, as well as group-specific minority stressors, can shed light on high rates of NSSI among LGB populations. Specifically, the challenges faced by LGB adolescents may undermine the development of emotion regulation. As such, this should be a key target of intervention with LGB adolescents engaging in NSSI.
