Abstract

This study used an online survey of a sample of sexual minority Vietnamese women (N = 302, Mean = 21.23) who self-identified as lesbian (48.7%), bisexual (42.2%), and other (8.9%). The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship among self-disclosure, internalized homophobia, and symptoms of depression. This topic has never before been studied in Vietnam. Structural equation modeling indicates that a higher level of self-disclosure with friends and coworkers leads to less self-stigmatization and less sexual prejudice. In addition, sexual minority women's self-disclosure affects all three aspects of depression (negative affect, positive affect, and interpersonal relationships).

越南性少数群体妇女的性自我表露、内化同性恋恐惧症和抑郁症状

本研究对越南性少数群体女性(N = 302, Mean = 21.23)进行了在线调查，她们自认为是女同性恋(48.7%)、双性恋(42.2%)和其他(8.9%)。本研究的目的是探讨自我表露、内化同性恋恐惧症和抑郁症状之间的关系。这一课题在越南从未被研究过。结构方程模型表明，与朋友和同事的自我表露水平越高，自我污名化和性别偏见就越少。此外，性少数女性的自我表露对抑郁的三个方面(消极影响、积极影响和人际关系)都有影响。
