Gay Identity Formation and Disclosure: The Mediating of Putative Responses of Family Members

摘要: 目的：探索了中国男同性恋群体中同性恋身份认同，预期反应和向家庭出柜的程度之间的关系。方法：数据收集采用问卷调查法，统计分析采用皮尔逊相关分析，逐步回归分析和bootstrap检验。结果：同性恋身份认同与向家庭出柜的程度相关系数显著，逐步回归分析的结果和中介效应检验的结果均达到了显著性水平。结论：1) 中国男同性恋的同性恋身份认同、预期反应和向家庭出柜的程度两两显著正相关；2) 同性恋身份认同和预期反应可以显著预测中国男同性恋向家庭成员的出柜程度；3) 预期反应在同性恋身份认同和向家庭成员出柜之间起部分中介作用。

Abstract: Purpose: The present study explored the relationships among the gay identity formation, the putative responses of family members to same-sex orientation and disclosure of his sexual orientation. Methods: Questionnaire survey was used for data collection, and Pearson correlation analysis, stepwise regression analysis and bootstrap test were used for statistical analysis. Results: The correlation coefficient between gay identity formation and coming out to the family was significant, and the results of stepwise regression analysis and mediating effect test reached the significance level. Conclusion: 1) There was a significant positive correlation among the homosexual identity, putative responses of family members and the degree of disclosure their same-sex orientation to the family among Chinese gay men; 2) Gay identity and putative responses can significantly predict the degree of Chinese gay men coming out to their family members; 3) Putative responses play a partial mediating role between gay identity and disclosure of sexual orientation to family members.
