Prior research has demonstrated that discrimination is associated with suicidal ideation among bi + individuals, but little is known about resilience factors (both general and bi + specific) that may buffer these associations. This prospective study examined the main and interactive effects of antibisexual discrimination and resilience factors, including general resilience and positive bi + identity factors (community, authenticity, and intimacy), in predicting suicidal ideation at 1- and 2-month follow-up.
Participants were bi + young adults ( = 396; ages 18-29; 42.7% cisgender men, 42.2% cisgender women, 15.2% transgender/gender diverse individuals; 37.9% racial and ethnic minority individuals) who completed measures of antibisexual discrimination (Brief Antibisexual Experiences Scale), positive bi + identity (Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Positive Identity Measure), general resilience (Brief Resilience Scale), and suicidal ideation (Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation) at baseline, and suicidal ideation again at 1- and 2-month follow-up.
Greater antibisexual discrimination was significantly associated with increases in suicidal ideation at 1-month follow-up at low levels of community, authenticity, and intimacy, and increases in suicidal ideation at 2-month follow-up at low levels of authenticity. In addition, at high levels of authenticity, greater antibisexual discrimination was significantly associated with decreases in suicidal ideation at 1-month follow-up. In contrast, general resilience did not moderate the associations between antibisexual discrimination and suicidal ideation at 1- or 2-month follow-up.
Results suggest that promoting positive aspects of bi + identity (community, authenticity, and intimacy), but not general resilience, may help attenuate the effects of antibisexual discrimination on suicidal ideation over time. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
先前的研究表明，歧视与双性恋及其他性少数群体（bi +）个体的自杀意念有关，但对于可能缓冲这些关联的复原力因素（包括一般复原力和双性恋及其他性少数群体特有的因素）知之甚少。这项前瞻性研究考察了反双性恋歧视和复原力因素（包括一般复原力和积极的双性恋及其他性少数群体身份因素，如同性恋社区、真实性和亲密关系）在预测1个月和2个月随访时自杀意念方面的主要和交互作用。
参与者为双性恋及其他性少数群体的年轻成年人（n = 396；年龄18 - 29岁；42.7%为顺性别男性，42.2%为顺性别女性，15.2%为跨性别/性别多元个体；37.9%为种族和族裔少数群体个体），他们在基线时完成了反双性恋歧视（简短反双性恋经历量表）、积极的双性恋及其他性少数群体身份（女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋积极身份量表）、一般复原力（简短复原力量表）和自杀意念（贝克自杀意念量表）的测量，并在1个月和2个月随访时再次测量自杀意念。
在社区、真实性和亲密关系水平较低时，更大程度的反双性恋歧视与1个月随访时自杀意念的增加显著相关，在真实性水平较低时与2个月随访时自杀意念的增加显著相关。此外，在真实性水平较高时，更大程度的反双性恋歧视与1个月随访时自杀意念的减少显著相关。相比之下，一般复原力在1个月或2个月随访时并未调节反双性恋歧视与自杀意念之间的关联。
结果表明，促进双性恋及其他性少数群体身份的积极方面（如同性恋社区、真实性和亲密关系），而非一般复原力，可能有助于随着时间的推移减弱反双性恋歧视对自杀意念的影响。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2023美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
