OBJECTIVE
Sexual and gender minority (SGM) adults often report a disproportionately high rate of suicidal ideation compared to their heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. The current study aimed to understand the relationship between discrimination for one's sexual orientation or gender identity and suicidal ideation. We hypothesized that discrimination would be associated with suicidal ideation at one's worst point through the indirect effects of hopelessness regarding thwarted belongingness and perceived burdensomeness.
METHOD
A sample of 178 SGM adults (M age = 30.34, range 18-69; 76% white) completed an online questionnaire assessing minority-specific stressors and suicide-related thoughts and behaviors.
RESULTS
A mediation model with bootstrapping indicated that greater discrimination was associated with more frequent suicidal ideation at one's worst point through the indirect effect of hopelessness regarding thwarted belongingness.
CONCLUSIONS
The current study provides evidence that the pathway between discrimination and worst point suicidal ideation may be partially explained by the perception that one will never belong. These findings support the utility of an understudied Interpersonal Theory of Suicide hypothesis for research among SGM adults.
目的
性少数群体（SGM）成年人的自杀意念发生率往往明显高于异性恋和顺性别群体。本研究旨在了解针对性取向或性别认同的歧视与自杀意念之间的关系。我们假设，歧视会通过对归属感受挫和负担感的绝望的间接影响，与最糟糕时刻的自杀意念相关。
方法
本研究的样本包括 178 名 SGM 成年人（M 年龄=30.34 岁，范围为 18-69 岁；76%为白人），他们完成了一份在线问卷，评估与少数群体相关的压力源以及与自杀相关的想法和行为。
结果
通过对归属感受挫的绝望感的间接影响，有更多歧视的个体与最糟糕时刻更频繁的自杀意念相关。
结论
本研究提供了证据表明，歧视与最糟糕时刻自杀意念之间的关系可能部分可以通过一种感知来解释，即一个人永远不会有归属感。这些发现支持了对 SGM 成年人进行研究的人际理论自杀假说的应用。
