Survey data collected in 1984-85 from a community sample of 637 gay and bisexual men were used to determine the features of social relationships that were most conductive to changes in both psychological health and AIDS-related sexual risk behavior. Multiple regression analyses showed that both the perceived availability of social support and the absence of conflicts in the social network were related to improve psychological health. At the same time, the subjective experience of integration into social networks was associated with increased psychological distress, and validation (the experience of being accepted by others) was related to a higher level of risk activity. These findings are discussed in terms of the social relationships among community members that share a common stressor--in this case the shared problem of being at risk for AIDS.
1984年至1985年从637名男同性恋者和双性恋男性的社区样本中收集的调查数据，用于确定最有助于心理健康和与艾滋病相关的性风险行为发生变化的社会关系特征。多元回归分析表明，感知到的社会支持的可获得性以及社交网络中不存在冲突，均与心理健康改善有关。同时，融入社交网络的主观体验与心理困扰增加有关，而被认可（被他人接受的体验）则与更高水平的风险行为有关。本文根据共享共同压力源的社区成员之间的社会关系来讨论这些发现——在这种情况下，共同面临的问题是有感染艾滋病的风险。
