This online study examined minority stress and general psychological processes as determinants of physical health in transgender and nonbinary adults.
A sample of 266 transgender and nonbinary participants completed self-report measures of depression, physical health, and minority stressors.
Indirect association between distal stress and physical health through proximal stress and depression was statistically significant. Individuals who experienced greater distal stress reported greater proximal stress, which was associated with greater depression symptoms, which was associated with worse physical health.
Findings suggest that both group-specific stress responses and general psychological processes are germane to understanding physical health disparities.
这项在线研究调查了跨性别和非二元性别成年人中的少数群体压力以及一般心理过程作为身体健康的决定因素。
266名跨性别和非二元性别参与者的样本完成了关于抑郁、身体健康和少数群体压力源的自我报告测量。
通过近端压力和抑郁产生的远端压力与身体健康之间的间接关联具有统计学意义。经历更大远端压力的个体报告了更大的近端压力,这与更严重的抑郁症状相关,而抑郁症状又与更差的身体健康相关。
研究结果表明,特定群体的应激反应和一般心理过程对于理解身体健康差异都具有相关性。
