摘要

对性少数群体的研究表明,由于少数群体的压力因素,他们面临着更大的心理健康状况不佳的风险,但对这些因素如何影响无性恋个体健康的调查有限。本研究通过考察羞耻是否在歧视与无性恋者心理健康结果(即社交焦虑和心理困扰)之间的关系中起中介作用,以及社会支持是否调节歧视与羞耻之间的关联,来解决这一空白。这项横断面研究的数据是通过在线问卷收集的,作为VisaJe项目的一部分,该项目调查了性经验不足的初出期成年人的耻辱。在177名年龄在18岁到42岁之间的无性恋个体中,使用了有效的量表来测量研究变量。结构方程模型显示,社会支持对歧视和羞耻之间的关系没有调节作用。然而,在控制社会支持、性别、发育时期和少数民族等变量后,结果表明羞耻感在歧视与心理困扰的关系中起部分中介作用,在歧视与社会焦虑的关系中起完全中介作用。这些发现表明,无性恋者面临着将歧视与心理健康联系起来的类似途径,反映了在其他性少数群体中观察到的情况,因为他们不遵守强制性的性行为规范。然而,对于面临歧视的无性恋者来说,普遍的支持可能并不能成为一种保护因素。这些发现对未来的研究和专业实践的意义进行了讨论。

The influence of shame in the psychological well-being of asexual people who experienced discrimination: A mediation model
Research on sexual minorities has demonstrated that they face greater risks of experiencing poorer mental health due to minority stress factors, but there has been limited investigation into how these factors affect the well-being of asexual individuals. This study addressed this gap by examining whether shame played a mediating role in the relationship between discrimination and the mental health outcomes (i.e., social anxiety and psychological distress) of asexual individuals, as well as whether social support moderated the association between discrimination and shame. Data for this cross-sectional study were collected through an online questionnaire as part of the VisaJe project, which examined the stigmatization of sexually inexperienced emerging adults. Validated scales were used to measure the study variables among a sample of 177 asexual individuals aged between 18 and 42. Structural equation modelling revealed that social support did not have a moderating effect on the relationship between discrimination and shame. However, after controlling for variables such as social support, gender, developmental period and ethnic minority status, the results indicated that shame partially mediated the relationship between discrimination and psychological distress, and fully mediated the relationship between discrimination and social anxiety. These findings indicate that asexual individuals face similar pathways linking discrimination to mental health, mirroring those observed in other sexual minority groups, as they derogate from the norms of compulsory sexuality. However, general support may not serve as a protective factor for asexual individuals facing discrimination. The implications of these findings for future studies and professional practice are discussed.
