青少年与LGBTQ+父母的友谊和应对
Friendships and Coping Among Adolescents with LGBTQ+ Parents.
摘要(中文译文)
与未处于性取向和/或性别认同少数群体的青少年相比，LGBTQ+父母的青少年以及LGBTQ+青少年面临着独特的社会和身份相关挑战。LGBTQ+父母的青少年（无论其自身的性取向或性别认同如何）与自我认同为LGBTQ+的青少年是不同的人群，尽管二者有时存在重叠。关于LGBTQ+父母青少年的研究往往聚焦于亲子关系和家庭结构。朋友如何帮助青少年应对基于身份的少数群体压力源，如同伴微侵犯、欺凌和排斥——这些在少数群体身份者中较为常见？友谊在青春期具有发展关键性，塑造社会能力、身份探索和心理适应。本研究以生态系统理论、社会学习理论和少数群体压力理论为基础，旨在了解友谊与LGBTQ+父母青少年心理健康及应对方式的关系。本横断面定量研究纳入98名美国LGBTQ+父母青少年（12-19岁），通过社区抽样和Prolific招募。更高质量的同伴依恋——以亲密友谊中的信任、沟通和疏离感为概念框架——与较低的抑郁水平和较高的社会能力相关，但与焦虑或适应性应对无关（在控制回避性应对后）。回避性应对与较差的心理健康关联最强。本研究对实践具有启示意义，强调了同伴关系对LGBTQ+父母青少年的重要性——尤其是高质量友谊如何通过社会能力提供重要的可能保护并抵御抑郁——同时也凸显了友谊、应对与适应之间复杂的相互作用。
Abstract
Adolescents with LGBTQ+ parents and LGBTQ+ adolescents navigate unique social and identity-related challenges as compared to those without minoritized sexual and/or gender identities. Adolescents with LGBTQ+ parents (regardless of their own sexual or gender identity) and adolescents who personally identify as LGBTQ+ are distinct populations, though they sometimes overlap. Research on adolescents with LGBTQ+ parents has often focused on parent-adolescent relationships and family structures. How do friends help youth cope with identity-based minority stressors, like peer microaggressions, bullying, and exclusion, common for those with minoritized identities? Friendships are developmentally pivotal during adolescence, shaping social competence, identity exploration, and psychological adjustment. Grounded in ecological systems, social learning, and minority stress theories, we sought to understand how friendships relate to mental health and coping in adolescents with LGBTQ+ parents. This cross-sectional quantitative study included 98 adolescents (ages 12-19) with LGBTQ+ parents in the U.S., recruited via community sampling and Prolific. Higher-quality peer attachment, conceptualized by trust, communication, and alienation in close friendships, was associated with lower depression and greater social competence, but not associated with anxiety or adaptive coping (after accounting for avoidant coping). Avoidant coping was most strongly associated with poorer mental health. This study, with implications for practice, emphasizes the importance of peer relationships for adolescents with LGBTQ+ parents-particularly how high-quality friendships offer important possible protection via social competence and against depression-while also highlighting the complex interplay between friendships, coping, and adjustment.
