The current study explored whether affiliating with an LGBT peer crowd on a college campus differentially predicts college adjustment (including loneliness, college belongingness, academic well-being, and stress), as opposed to affiliating with a non-LGBT peer crowd. Based on a sample of 692 students from a small liberal arts college in Southern California, factor and path analyses were carried out. Results indicated that, of all the crowd affiliations, affiliating with an LGBT peer crowd was the strongest predictor of loneliness, academic well-being, and stress. However, affiliating with an LGBT peer crowd was not the strongest predictor of college belongingness. Implications and applications of these results are discussed.
本研究探讨了在大学校园中与LGBT同龄人群体交往是否比与非LGBT同龄人群体交往更能预测大学适应情况（包括孤独感、大学归属感、学业幸福感和压力）。基于南加州一所小型文理学院692名学生的样本，进行了因子分析和路径分析。结果表明，在所有群体交往中，与LGBT同龄人群体交往是孤独感、学业幸福感和压力的最强预测因素。然而，与LGBT同龄人群体交往并非大学归属感的最强预测因素。本文讨论了这些结果的意义和应用。
