Аннотация
OBJECTIVE: Sexual minority adults report disproportionately higher rates of trauma exposure (including exposure to sexual minority-specific traumatic events) and frequent engagement in posttrauma reckless and self-destructive behaviors (RSDBs). However, research has yet to examine factors that may help explain the association between sexual minority-specific trauma exposure (i.e., sexual orientation-related victimization) and posttrauma RSDBs. The present study examined the roles of trauma symptoms due to discrimination (e.g., uncontrollable arousal, feelings of alienation) and emotion dysregulation in the association between sexual orientation-related victimization and posttrauma RSDBs.
METHOD: Participants were 139 trauma-exposed sexual minority adults (Mage = 32.70) recruited from the community.
RESULTS: A serial mediation model examined lifetime occurrences of sexual orientation-related victimization, trauma symptoms due to discrimination, emotion dysregulation, and posttrauma RSDBs. Results indicated that lifetime occurrences of sexual orientation-related victimization were associated with greater past-month posttrauma RSDBs. A significant indirect effect further indicated that greater trauma symptoms due to discrimination and emotion dysregulation were found to serially underlie this association.
CONCLUSION: Trauma symptoms due to discrimination and emotion dysregulation may be important explanatory factors underlying the association between sexual orientation-related victimization and posttrauma RSDBs, suggesting their potential utility as targets in prevention and intervention efforts with trauma-exposed sexual minority adults.
