同性恋者内化同性恋嫌恶与抑郁的关系:自我概念清晰度的中介及调节作用

Internalized Homophobia and Depression in Homosexuals: The Role of Self-concept Clarity

目的:考察自我概念清晰度在同性恋者内化同性恋嫌恶与抑郁间所起的中介效应及调节效应。方法:使用内化同性恋嫌恶量表、自我概念清晰度量表与抑郁量表对433名同性恋者进行测量。结果:首先,自我概念清晰度可在同性恋者的内化同性恋嫌恶与抑郁间起完全中介作用。其次,自我概念清晰度可在同性恋者的内化同性恋嫌恶与抑郁间起调节作用。具体来说,对于低自我概念清晰度个体,当内化同性恋嫌恶增加时,抑郁水平也相应增加;而对于高自我概念清晰度个体,当内化同性恋嫌恶增加时,抑郁水平基本不变。结论:同性恋者的内化同性恋嫌恶可通过影响自我概念清晰度间接影响抑郁水平,而自我概念清晰度也可缓冲内化同性恋嫌恶对抑郁的影响。

Objective： To investigate the mediating effect and moderating effect of self-concept clarity between internal- ized homophobia and depression in homosexuals. Methods： 433 homosexuals were assessed with the scales of internalized homophobia, self-concept clarity and depression. Results： Firstly, self-concept clarity played a complete mediating role between internalized homophobia and depression in homosexuals; Secondly, self-concept clarity also played a moderating role between internalized homophobia and depression in homosexuals. Specially, for the individuals with low self-concept clarity, the level of depression increased as internalized homophobia increased; for the individuals with high self-concept clarity, the level of depression remained unchanged when internalized homophobia increased. Conclusion： Internalized ho- mophobia affects depression through self-concept clarity in homosexuals, and self-concept clarity can buffer the influence of internalized homophobia on depression.
