This study aimed to assess differences between other-sex attracted and same- and both-sex attracted adolescents in profiles of peer and family social support, online contacts, and preferences for online communication. Data stem from the 2017 Dutch "Health and Behavior in School-Aged Children" (HBSC) survey ( = 6,823; 4.0% same- and both-sex attracted; age14.73, = 1.59, range = 12-18). We conducted latent profile analyses to estimate profiles in peer and family social support, online contacts, and preferences for online communication. Then we assessed the association between sexual attraction and profile membership. A five-profile solution fitted the data best. Profiles were characterized as (35.6%); (42.9%); (9.9%); (6.9%); and (5.0%). Same- and both-sex attracted adolescents had higher odds than other-sex attracted adolescents of being in the latter three profiles than in the first profile. Thus, same- and both-sex attracted adolescents were more likely to report average to low rates of peer and family social support, high to low frequency of online contact, and an average to strong preference for online communication than other-sex attracted adolescents. The average to low levels of support especially influenced these sexual orientation-based differences in profile membership.
本研究旨在评估在同伴和家庭社会支持、线上联系以及线上交流偏好等方面，吸引异性的青少年与吸引同性及双性的青少年之间的差异。数据来源于2017年荷兰“学龄儿童健康与行为”（HBSC）调查（n = 6823；4.0%吸引同性及双性；年龄M = 14.73，SD = 1.59，范围 = 12 - 18岁）。我们进行了潜在剖面分析，以估计同伴和家庭社会支持、线上联系以及线上交流偏好方面的剖面。然后我们评估了性吸引力与剖面成员身份之间的关联。一个五剖面解决方案最适合这些数据。剖面的特征分别为（35.6%）；（42.9%）；（9.9%）；（6.9%）；以及（5.0%）。与吸引异性的青少年相比，吸引同性及双性的青少年属于后三个剖面而非第一个剖面的几率更高。因此，与吸引异性的青少年相比，吸引同性及双性的青少年更有可能报告同伴和家庭社会支持水平为中等至较低、线上联系频率为高至较低，以及对线上交流的偏好为中等至强烈。尤其是中等至较低水平的支持影响了这些基于性取向的剖面成员身份差异。
