目标女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋 (LGB) 青少年经常报告与家人的关系受到损害。鉴于最近社会对 LGB 个体的态度发生变化，在婚姻权和其他法律地位方面，我们探讨 LGB 和异性恋青少年如何看待他们的家庭关系是否随着时间的推移而发生变化。方法使用加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的不列颠哥伦比亚省青少年健康调查（N= 99,373；Mage= 14.8），我们调查了四个国家家庭联系和母亲/父亲支持的趋势和差异。 1998 年至 2013 年的数据集。结果我们发现，自 1998 年以来，虽然异性恋青少年感知到的家庭联系和父母支持水平有所增加，但 LGB 青少年却没有发现同样的增加。在 LGB 参与者中，感知到的联系/支持水平在每次调查中普遍下降，尤其是女性。令人担忧的是，随着时间的推移，LGB 青少年的这些看法仍然存在显着差异。结论我们的研究结果对于针对 LGB 青少年及其家庭的支持性干预措施，特别是父亲支持的作用具有影响。
ObjectivesLesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adolescents often report compromised relations with their families. Given the recent changes in societal attitudes toward LGB individuals, in respect to rights for marriage and other legal statuses, we explore whether or not there has been a change in how LGB and heterosexual adolescents perceive their family relations over time.MethodsUsing the British Columbia Adolescent Health Survey from British Columbia, Canada (N= 99,373;Mage= 14.8), we investigated the trends and disparities in family connectedness and mother/father support in four data sets from 1998 to 2013.ResultsWe found that while levels of perceived family connectedness and parent support have increased for heterosexual adolescents since 1998, the same increases were not found for LGB adolescents. Among LGB participants, levels of perceived connectedness/support generally decreased in each survey wave, especially among females. Alarmingly, significant disparities in these perceptions remained for LGB youth over time.ConclusionsOur findings have implications for supportive interventions focused on LGB adolescents and their families and in particular, the role of father support.
