摘要

本研究旨在通过应用现有的父母对出柜反应的理论框架，探讨父母对其子女的女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋（LGB）身份的反应。研究背景由于家庭的排斥会导致女同性恋者、男同性恋者、双性恋者、变性者、同性恋者和/或质疑者（LGBTQ）青少年出现一系列负面结果，因此了解父母的反应至关重要。有必要验证现有的理论框架，以了解父母对 LGBTQ 披露的反应。方法采用演绎式主题分析法，从现有理论框架中提炼出八个先验主题和其他次主题，对 20 个家长深度访谈样本进行分析。结果分析表明，指导本研究的理论框架中的大部分内容都与每份记录相吻合。建议对理论框架进行的一项修改包括增加一个途径，说明怀疑自己孩子患有 LGB 的家长不一定会采取减少不确定性的行为。结论本研究的结果表明，父母在了解并接受其子女的身份时会经历一系列过程。启示今后有必要开展实证研究，进一步完善和验证现有的理论框架。

Parent reactions to coming out as lesbian, gay, or bisexual: Investigating a theoretical framework

Objective

The aim of this study is to explore parents' reactions to their child's lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB) identity by applying an existing theoretical framework of parent reactions to coming out.

Background

Because family rejection leads to a number of negative outcomes among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and/or questioning (LGBTQ) youth, understanding parent reactions is critical. There is a need to validate existing theoretical frameworks that capture parent reactions to LGBTQ disclosure.

Method

Using deductive thematic analysis, eight a priori themes and additional subthemes derived from the existing theoretical framework were used to analyze a convenience sample of 20 in-depth, parent interviews.

Results

The analysis demonstrated that the components of the theoretical framework that guided the study mostly mapped onto each transcript. One proposed change to the theoretical framework includes adding a pathway that demonstrates how parents who suspect their child is LGB do not necessarily engage in uncertainty reduction behaviors.

Conclusion

Findings from this study suggest that parents navigate through a series of processes when learning about and coming to accept their child's identity.

Implications

There is a need for future empirical studies to further refine and validate the existing theoretical framework.
