The investigators examined the health and well-being correlates of hearing the popular phrase "that's so gay" among gay, lesbian, and bisexual (GLB) emerging adults.
Participants were 114 self-identified GLB students aged 18 to 25 years.
An online survey was distributed to students at a large public university in the Midwest during winter 2009.
Participants' social and physical well-being was negatively associated with hearing this phrase, specifically feeling isolated and experiencing physical health symptoms (ie, headaches, poor appetite, or eating problems).
College professionals and student leaders must acknowledge that the phrase is a form of heterosexist harassment. As such, policies addressing diversity and harassment should address students' use of this phrase, aiming to reduce its use. Additionally, colleges and universities should develop practices that counteract poorer well-being associated with hearing the phrase.
研究人员调查了同性恋、双性恋和双性人（GLB）青年听到“同性恋”这个流行词时的健康和幸福相关因素。
参与者为 114 名年龄在 18 岁至 25 岁之间的自我认同为 GLB 的学生。
在 2009 年冬季，向中西部一所大型公立大学的学生分发了在线调查。
参与者的社会和身体健康与听到这句话呈负相关，特别是感到孤立和出现身体健康症状（即头痛、食欲不振或饮食问题）。
大学专业人员和学生领袖必须认识到，这句话是一种异性恋骚扰的形式。因此，解决多样性和骚扰问题的政策应解决学生使用这句话的问题，旨在减少其使用。此外，学院和大学应制定实践措施，抵制与听到这句话相关的较差的幸福感。
