Abstract

Several studies have shown that parents of atypical children have poorer mental health than others. However, little attention has been paid to the health of parents of LGBT+ people. The present study therefore looked for factors that may generate psychological distress in the parents of LGBT+ people. More specifically, it examined the potential roles of stigma, social factors, and cognitive factors within Hatzenbuehler's psychological mediation framework. In this study, the following variables were measured among 167 parents in France with at least one LGBT+ child: parents' perception of discrimination, parental acceptance, perceived social support, stereotype endorsement, reasoning performance, and psychological distress (anxiety, depressive symptoms, and parental burnout). Structural equation modeling analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between stigma, cognitive factors, social factors, and psychological distress. Analyses revealed that parents' anxiety and depressive symptoms were both negatively associated with perceived social support and reasoning performance. Parental burnout was predicted by parental acceptance and stereotype endorsement (warmth dimension). The present study yielded many insights that may inform practice and future research. Our results highlight the importance of paying particular attention to parents' reasoning performance, perceived social support, and level of acceptance, in order to prevent or alleviate psychological distress.

LGBT+人群父母心理困扰的相关因素
几项研究表明,非典型儿童的父母的心理健康状况比其他人差。然而,LGBT+人群父母的健康问题却很少受到关注。因此,本研究寻找可能对LGBT+人群的父母产生心理困扰的因素。更具体地说,它在Hatzenbuehler的心理中介框架中考察了耻辱、社会因素和认知因素的潜在作用。在这项研究中,167名至少有一名LGBT+孩子的法国父母测量了以下变量:父母对歧视的感知、父母的接受程度、感知的社会支持、刻板印象的认可、推理表现和心理困扰(焦虑、抑郁症状和父母倦怠)。通过结构方程模型分析,探讨了病耻感、认知因素、社会因素和心理困扰之间的关系。分析发现,父母的焦虑和抑郁症状与感知社会支持和推理表现均呈负相关。父母接受和刻板印象认可(温暖维度)可预测父母倦怠。目前的研究产生了许多见解,可能为实践和未来的研究提供信息。我们的研究结果强调了特别关注父母的推理表现、感知社会支持和接受水平的重要性,以预防或减轻心理困扰。
