요약 | Background: Sexual minorities continue to carry a disproportionate burden of negative mental health outcomes. These may be related, in part, to stigma-related stressful events associated with these individuals' identities. Understanding the pathways through which stigma related events affect sexual minority individual's mental health status is a crucial task for understanding and improving their quality of life.Objective: To understand the mediation effects between stigma-related stress and sexual compulsivity in a national sample of gay and bisexual men in the United States. Methods: Through the Psychological Mediation Framework, this study explores the impact of stigma-related stress on the development of sexual compulsivity, directly and through pathways mediated by emotional regulation, social/interpersonal, and cognition. Path analyses were performed using AMOS Graphics, v26.Results: The mean age for the sample (N=502) was 53.4 years old (SD=14.8), with 74.3% identifying as White and Non-Hispanic and 73.9% identified as gay. 46.3% reported experiences exacerbating stigma-related stress from family members, 59.2% reported at least some rumination, while 26.4% reported feeling more than some loneliness. 66.7% reported some stigma consciousness, and 68.1% reported some sexual compulsivity. Nonetheless, the structural model wherein sexual compulsivity waspredicted by rumination, loneliness, and stigma consciousness did not fit the data.Discussion: Even with limitations, findings from this study show promising opportunities for the development of behavioral interventions that address how gay and bisexual men cope with stigma, like strategies to reduce rumination and isolation. Additional research that explores the effects of other types of stigma-related stress in the lives of sexual minorities is warranted. |
