[Subjective well-being in homosexually-oriented men].

Abstract

We studied the influence of homosexual (egosynton) orientation towards the variables of subjective well-being by means of the 5 scales of the Berne Questionnaire of Subjective Well-Being on the sample of 104 men. The results prove that there is no difference between homosexually and heterosexually oriented men in the overall life satisfaction, the number of contemporary problems, the number of somatic complaints, in the rate of depressive mood and in the scale of self-esteem. This fact may be connected with the capability of coping with their homosexual orientation.
