Abstract

This study explores the relevance of the brief Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM-12) for sexual and gender minority youth (SGMY) aged 14–23 (N = 4,810), compares their patterns of resilience with general youth populations, and explores distinctions between key subgroups of SGMY. SGMY reported significantly lower scores, indicating poorer outcomes, than non-SGMY in several CYRM-12 items, especially those addressing familial and community support. Older SGMY (aged 19–23) reported significantly higher CYRM-12 scores than younger SGMY (aged 14–18; t = 11.00, p < .001). Compared with their non-SGMY counterparts, SGMY reported significantly lower scores regarding supportive parental relationships, connection to offline community, and school belongingness yet reported higher scores regarding the importance of education. Three factors contributed to SGMY resilience: (1) peer and community belonging, (2) familial and cultural support, and (3) youth’s personal attributes and self-efficacy. The results of this study also suggest that measuring resilience in SGMY should incorporate online as well as offline sources. Recommendations to enhance the CYRM-12 to capture the experiences of SGMY for social work research and practice are provided.

捕捉弹性:利用简短的儿童和青少年弹性测量与性和性别少数青年

本研究探讨了14-23岁(N = 4,810)性少数和性别少数青年(SGMY)的儿童和青年心理弹性简短测量(CYRM-12)的相关性，比较了他们与一般青年人群的心理弹性模式，并探讨了SGMY关键亚组之间的差异。在几个CYRM-12项目中，SGMY报告的得分明显低于非SGMY，表明结果较差，特别是那些涉及家庭和社区支持的项目。年龄较大的SGMY(19-23岁)报告的CYRM-12得分显著高于年龄较小的SGMY(14-18岁;T = 11.00, p < 0.001)。与非SGMY同龄人相比，SGMY在支持性父母关系、与线下社区的联系和学校归属感方面的得分明显较低，但在教育重要性方面的得分较高。影响青年心理弹性的因素有三个:(1)同伴和社区归属感;(2)家庭和文化支持;(3)青年的个人属性和自我效能感。本研究的结果还表明，测量SGMY的弹性应该包括在线和离线资源。本文提出了建议，以加强CYRM-12，以便在社会工作研究和实践中汲取SGMY的经验。
