Minority stress theory posits that stress processes specific to a sexual minority orientation can affect the psychological health and well-being of lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer-identified (LGBQ) individuals. In the workplace, LGBQ employees experiencing minority stress report poor mental health outcomes and decreased job satisfaction and commitment. However, few scholars have examined the cross-contextual effects minority stressors that individuals experience in the workplace may have on couples. That is, given the literature highlighting the work-family interface, how do minority stressors at work affect the sexual minority employee within the family dynamics of same-sex couples at home? The purpose of this article is to propose a multi-theoretical approach which includes elements of minority stress theory and work-family border theory to guide future research in examining the cross-contextual effects of minority stress for couple- and family-level outcomes.
少数群体压力理论认为，特定于性少数取向的压力过程会影响女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋或酷儿认同（LGBQ）个体的心理健康和幸福感。在工作场所，经历少数群体压力的LGBQ员工心理健康状况不佳，工作满意度和敬业度降低。然而，很少有学者研究个体在工作场所经历的少数群体压力源可能对伴侣产生的跨情境影响。也就是说，鉴于有文献强调工作与家庭的相互关系，工作场所的少数群体压力源如何在同性伴侣家庭环境的家庭动态中影响性少数员工？本文的目的是提出一种多理论方法，其中包括少数群体压力理论和工作-家庭边界理论的要素，以指导未来研究，考察少数群体压力对伴侣和家庭层面结果的跨情境影响。
