This study aimed to explore the association between disclosure of one's sexual orientation in different social contexts and mental health outcomes among LGB individuals.
This study used a nationwide sample of 7867 LGB individuals in the mainland of China.
Findings revealed that the disclosure process was associated with positive consequences in several specific contexts such as schools, workplaces, and close friendships, but not in the family context. Bisexual individuals were less likely to be influenced by the disclosure process.
Professionals who work with LGB individuals need to be aware of the context-specific factors when facilitating disclosure decisions.
本研究旨在探讨在不同社会背景下公开性取向与中国内地LGB群体心理健康结果之间的关联。
本研究采用了来自中国内地7867名LGB群体的全国性样本。
研究结果显示，在学校、工作场所和亲密友谊等特定背景下，公开性取向的过程会带来积极影响，但在家庭背景中并非如此。双性恋个体受公开性取向过程的影响较小。
与LGB群体合作的专业人员在协助做出公开性取向的决定时需考虑特定背景因素。
