In China, men are responsible for continuing the family line and the primary source of pressure for adult Chinese gay men comes from the expectations and demands of patrilineal nuclear families in general, parents in particular, and pressure to comply with social sexual orientation and identity norms and to perpetuate the family. Previous studies on the loneliness of LGBT individuals have paid less attention to the loneliness of gay men from a Chinese cultural perspective. This study investigated the relationship between anticipated stigma from family and loneliness among gay men. A sample of 408 gay men in China was recruited to investigate the associations between anticipated stigma from family, loneliness, guilt, and self-compassion using the 6-item University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale, the Anticipated Stigma Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Guilt Inventory, and the Chinese version of the Self-Compassion Scale. The results showed that gay men's anticipated stigma from family was positively associated with loneliness, guilt mediated the relationship between anticipated stigma from family and loneliness, and the isolation dimension of self-compassion moderated the relationship between anticipated stigma from family and guilt. The presence of high self-compassion mitigated the positive association between anticipated stigma from family and guilt.
在中国，男性肩负着延续家族血脉的责任，成年中国男同性恋者面临的主要压力通常来自父系核心家庭的期望和要求，尤其是父母的期望和要求，以及遵守社会性取向和身份规范、延续家族的压力。以往关于 LGBT 群体孤独感的研究较少从中国文化视角关注男同性恋者的孤独感。本研究调查了男同性恋者预期的来自家庭的污名与孤独感之间的关系。招募了 408 名中国男同性恋者作为样本，使用 6 项版加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校孤独感量表、预期污名问卷、中文版内疚量表和中文版自我同情量表，来调查预期的来自家庭的污名、孤独感、内疚感和自我同情之间的关联。结果表明，男同性恋者预期的来自家庭的污名与孤独感呈正相关，内疚感在预期的来自家庭的污名与孤独感之间起中介作用，自我同情的孤立维度调节了预期的来自家庭的污名与内疚感之间的关系。高自我同情的存在减轻了预期的来自家庭的污名与内疚感之间的正相关。
