Abstract

Lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender individuals (LGBT) are at high risk for suicide. This study aimed to examine an integrative psychological model of risk factors among LGBT individuals and explore the psychological pathways connecting social stigma, mental pain, and interpersonal characteristics to suicidal ideation and behavior (SIB) in this population. LGBT adults (N = 473) responded to an online questionnaire about stigma, mental pain, interpersonal characteristics, as well as suicidal ideation and behaviors. We found group differences between LGBT respondents in the study variables: Transgender people reported the highest levels of SIB and depression, closely followed by bisexuals. The association between stigma-related variables and SIB was mediated by depression, entrapment, and perceived burdensomeness. These results highlight the role of entrapment and burdensomeness in facilitating suicide risk among LGBT adults, as they may increase the damaging effect of negative societal stigma against LGBTs and thus, elevate the suicide risk in this population.

以色列LGBT人群自杀意念和行为风险因素的综合心理模型

女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者和跨性别者（LGBT）自杀的风险很高。本研究旨在检验LGBT人群风险因素的综合心理模型，并探索该人群中社会污名、精神痛苦和人际特征与自杀意念和行为（SIB）之间的心理路径。LGBT成年人（N=473）对一份关于污名、精神痛苦、人际关系特征以及自杀意念和行为的在线问卷进行了回应。我们在研究变量中发现了LGBT受访者之间的群体差异：跨性别者报告的SIB和抑郁症水平最高，其次是双性恋者。污名相关变量和SIB之间的关联是由抑郁、诱捕和感知的负担介导的。这些结果突出了诱捕和负担在促进LGBT成年人自杀风险方面的作用，因为它们可能会增加对LGBT的负面社会污名的破坏性影响，从而提高这一人群的自杀风险。
