Drawing from a person-environment fit framework, we identified profiles of youth in gay-straight alliances (GSAs) based on the extent to which they received information/resources, socializing/support, and advocacy opportunities in their GSAs and the extent to which this matched what they desired from their GSA along these three functions. Further, we examined profile differences in positive developmental competencies while accounting for community-contextual factors. In a sample of 290 youth from 42 Massachusetts GSAs, latent profile analyses identified five subgroups. Overall, youth receiving less from their GSAs than they desired, particularly regarding opportunities for advocacy, reported lower levels of self-reflection, bravery, civic engagement, and agency than youth who received information, socializing/support, and advocacy that matched or exceeded what they desired.
借鉴人与环境适配框架,我们根据青年在男女同性恋、双性恋和跨性别者联盟(GSAs)中获得信息/资源、社交/支持和倡导机会的程度,以及这些机会与他们在这三个功能方面期望从 GSA 获得的程度,确定了 GSAs 中青年群体的特征。此外,我们在考虑社区环境因素的情况下,考察了不同特征群体在积极发展能力方面的差异。在马萨诸塞州 42 个 GSAs 的 290 名青年样本中,潜在剖面分析确定了五个亚组。总体而言,与那些获得与期望相匹配或超过期望的信息、社交/支持和倡导机会的青年相比,从 GSAs 获得的资源少于期望的青年,特别是在倡导机会方面,其自我反思、勇敢、公民参与和能动性等方面的水平较低。
