Abstract

Disclosure, as a complex social process, profoundly influences the well-being of LGBTQ + youth. This study, guided by the disclosure process model, systematically reviews and synthesizes LGBTQ + youth disclosure literature, considering it as a developmental, multi-component process across various contexts. After screening 5,433 articles, 29 studies were identified, focusing on identity-disclosure processes among LGBTQ + youth aged 26 or younger. These studies were scrutinized for disclosure process components, individual and contextual factors shaping disclosure, and potential bias. Findings reveal a predominant focus on avoidance goals (e.g., fear of rejection, LGBTQ + stigma) rather than approach goals (e.g., seeking belonging, authenticity) in studies examining the disclosure decision-making process. Reactions to disclosures were often mixed, initially leaning negative but evolving positively over time. Mental health emerged as the most studied outcome of disclosure. Additionally, disclosure processes were shaped by disclosure recipients, social context, and cultural beliefs. In conclusion, research on LGBTQ + youth disclosure is advancing and evolving, with increasing attention to disclosure goals and outcomes. Rather than viewing disclosure as a singular event, this review underscores LGBTQ + youth identity disclosure as a complex, developmental process extending over time and across diverse contexts.

LGBTQ+ 青少年身份披露过程:系统回顾
披露作为一个复杂的社会过程,深刻地影响着LGBTQ +青年的幸福感。本研究以披露过程模型为指导,系统回顾和综合了LGBTQ +青年披露文献,将其视为一个跨越不同语境的发展多成分过程。在筛选了5433篇文章后,确定了29项研究,重点关注26岁或以下LGBTQ +青年的身份披露过程。这些研究仔细审查了披露过程的组成部分,个人和背景因素塑造披露,以及潜在的偏见。研究结果显示,在审查披露决策过程的研究中,主要关注回避目标(例如,害怕被拒绝,LGBTQ +耻辱)而不是接近目标(例如,寻求归属感,真实性)。人们对信息披露的反应往往好坏参半,最初倾向于负面,但随着时间的推移逐渐变得积极。心理健康成为被研究最多的信息披露结果。此外,披露过程受披露接受者、社会背景和文化信仰的影响。综上所述,关于LGBTQ +青年信息披露的研究正在不断推进和发展,对信息披露目标和结果的关注也在不断增加。这篇综述强调LGBTQ +青年身份披露是一个复杂的发展过程,随着时间的推移和不同的背景而延伸,而不是将其视为一个单一的事件。

期刊介绍: Adolescent Research Review publishes articles that review important contributions to the understanding of adolescence.  The Review draws from the many subdisciplines of developmental science, psychological science, education, criminology, public health, medicine, social work, and other allied disciplines that address the subject of youth and adolescence. The editors are especially interested in articles that bridge gaps between disciplines or that focus on topics that transcend traditional disciplinary boundaries.  Reviews must be cutting edge and comprehensive in the way they advance science, practice or policy relating to adolescents.
