Experiences of everyday discrimination are linked with mental health issues for sexual minority individuals, including posttraumatic symptoms (PTS), yet it is unclear whether experiences of discrimination are linked with PTS after accounting for the influence of traumatic life events. This study sought to increase understanding of the link between everyday discrimination and PTS, among sexual minority men.
A sample of 290 gay men living in the United States completed an online survey including measures of traumatic life events, everyday discrimination, and PTS.
Logistic regressions supported a link between everyday discrimination and meeting the cutoff for PTS, after accounting for traumatic life events. Furthermore, everyday discrimination was linked with higher scores on all symptom clusters of PTS.
Study results provide support for a link between everyday discrimination and PTS at levels exceeding clinical cutoffs. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
日常歧视经历与性少数群体的心理健康问题有关,包括创伤后症状(PTS),但在考虑创伤性生活事件的影响后,歧视经历是否与PTS相关尚不清楚。本研究旨在增进对性少数男性日常歧视与PTS之间联系的理解。
对290名居住在美国的男同性恋者进行抽样,他们完成了一项在线调查,其中包括创伤性生活事件、日常歧视和PTS的测量。
逻辑回归支持在考虑创伤性生活事件后,日常歧视与达到PTS临界值之间存在联系。此外,日常歧视与PTS所有症状群的较高得分相关。
研究结果支持日常歧视与超过临床临界值水平的PTS之间存在联系。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2025美国心理学会,保留所有权利)
