Abstract Multi-gender attracted (bisexual+) youth experience a high risk for suicide and mental health problems, but little is known about their protective factors. This study explored the challenges and supporting factors for wellbeing in a sample of diverse bisexual+ young people through semi-structured qualitative interviews. Participants (n = 15) were aged 17–25 years and were multi-gender attracted. The sample included young people who were transgender and gender diverse, culturally and linguistically diverse, Aboriginal, living in regional areas, and on the asexual spectrum. This research demonstrated unique challenges and protective factors for bisexual+ wellbeing compared to other sexual minority youth. In particular, the findings highlight the exclusion and stigmatization that many bisexual+ young people face, including from within the LGBTQIA+ community. These experiences were more pronounced for some bisexual+ youth, including TGD or CALD young people. Consequently, bisexual+ youth often had limited social support and a sense of belonging, which can buffer against the impact of marginalization among lesbian and gay youth. Despite these challenges, young people were resilient, empathetic and tolerant of others. Those who had access to supportive environments, visibility, and information on their diversity found these healing. Wellbeing in bisexual+ youth was impacted by a myriad of intersecting aspects of identity and experience, highlighting the importance of intersectional approaches in understanding minority experiences. The findings underscore the need for targeted and intersectional services for sexually diverse youth to address the wellbeing needs of this diverse group.

多性别吸引(双性恋+)青少年自杀和心理健康问题的风险较高，但对其保护因素知之甚少。本研究通过半结构化的定性访谈，在不同的双性恋+年轻人样本中探讨了健康的挑战和支持因素。参与者(n = 15)年龄在17-25岁之间，被多性别吸引。样本包括跨性别和性别多样化的年轻人，文化和语言多样化的年轻人，土著居民，生活在偏远地区的年轻人，以及无性恋者。与其他性少数青年相比，这项研究显示了双性恋和健康的独特挑战和保护因素。研究结果特别强调了许多双性恋+年轻人面临的排斥和污名化，包括来自LGBTQIA+社区的排斥和污名化。这些经历在一些双性恋+年轻人中更为明显，包括TGD或CALD年轻人。因此，双性恋+青年往往缺乏社会支持和归属感，这可以缓冲男女同性恋青年被边缘化的影响。尽管面临这些挑战，年轻人仍具有适应力、同理心和对他人的宽容。那些能够接触到支持性环境、可见度和关于他们多样性的信息的人发现了这些治疗。双性恋+青年的幸福感受到身份和经历的无数交叉方面的影响，突出了交叉方法在理解少数群体经历方面的重要性。研究结果强调，需要为性取向不同的青少年提供有针对性的交叉服务，以满足这一群体的福祉需求。

Abstract Bisexuality remains a stereotyped sexual identity in which bisexuals face prejudice from both gay/lesbian and heterosexual populations. Some bisexual individuals internalize society’s negative attitudes, resulting in an experience of self-stigma. Consequently, many bisexual individuals report a reduced sense of belonging. The current study explored whether self-stigma mediates the association between experiences of anti-bisexual prejudice and a sense of belonging within a bisexual sample (n = 529) while also identifying how experiences of anti-bisexual prejudice vary as a function of participant gender (man, woman, non-binary) and the source of prejudice (gay/lesbian or heterosexual). Self-stigma fully mediated the association between anti-bisexual experiences and a sense of belonging. Women and non-binary individuals reported more frequent anti-bisexual experiences than men, and all participants reported more frequent anti-bisexual experiences from heterosexual versus gay/lesbian sources. Efforts to improve a sense of belonging among bisexual individuals should focus on reducing anti-bisexual prejudice and anti-bisexual self-stigma.

摘要双性恋仍然是一种刻板的性身份，双性恋者面临着来自同性恋和异性恋群体的偏见。一些双性恋者内化了社会的消极态度，导致了自我污名化的经历。因此，许多双性恋者的归属感下降。目前的研究探讨了在双性恋样本中，自我污名是否介导了反双性恋偏见的经历和归属感之间的联系（n = 529），同时还确定了反双性恋偏见的经历如何随着参与者性别（男性、女性、非二元）和偏见来源（男同性恋或异性恋）的变化而变化。自我污名完全介导了反双性恋经历和归属感之间的联系。女性和非二元个体报告的反双性恋经历比男性更频繁，所有参与者都报告了来自异性恋和男同性恋的更频繁的反两性恋经历。提高双性恋者归属感的努力应侧重于减少反双性恋偏见和反双性恋自我污名。

Abstract Many Muslim men with same-sex sexualities experience tensions between their sexual/religious identities. However, few inquiries address how bisexual Muslim men grow and develop amidst socioreligious persecution. Therefore, the present study utilized a mixed-methods design and the Transformative Intersectional Psychology (TIP) framework to explore the spiritual resistance of 35 bisexual, Indonesian Muslim men. Participants completed online religious attitudes and experiences measures as well as open-ended questions regarding their religious/spiritual lives. Although 70% of participants reported that they felt unsupported by the Muslim community in the past year, 49% of participants described Islam in positive terms. Moreover, participants’ largely constructed their religious and spiritual experiences outside of LGBT + Muslim affirming organizations due to the pervasive LGBTQ + hostility in Indonesia. The present study helps build a stronger theoretical foundation for understanding both the positive and negative aspects of religiosity and spirituality in bisexual Muslims’ lives from a transformative and intersectional perspective.

许多具有同性性行为的穆斯林男性经历了性/宗教身份之间的紧张关系。然而，很少有调查涉及双性恋穆斯林男性如何在社会宗教迫害中成长和发展。因此，本研究采用混合方法设计和转化交叉心理学(TIP)框架来探讨35名印度尼西亚双性恋穆斯林男性的精神抵抗。参与者完成了在线宗教态度和体验测试，以及关于他们宗教/精神生活的开放式问题。尽管70%的参与者报告说他们在过去的一年中没有得到穆斯林社区的支持，但49%的参与者对伊斯兰教持积极态度。此外，由于印度尼西亚普遍存在对LGBTQ +的敌意，参与者在很大程度上在LGBT +穆斯林肯定组织之外构建了他们的宗教和精神体验。本研究有助于建立一个更强大的理论基础，从变革和交叉的角度来理解双性恋穆斯林生活中宗教信仰和灵性的积极和消极方面。

Young bisexual people report disparities related to mental health and sexual violence compared to their heterosexual and gay/lesbian peers. However, the majority of research in these areas does not employ an intersectional design, despite evidence that health outcomes vary by race and gender within bi + populations. The goal of this paper is to provide an intersectionally-informed exploration of the prevalence of sexual violence among a diverse sample of 112 bi + people age 18-26, as well as descriptive data on stigma, mental health, and social support. Most (82%) of participants reported at least once experience of sexual violence since the age of 16. Sexual violence was positively associated with sexual stigma, anxiety, depression, and suicidality. Nonbinary participants reported greater prevalence of violence, exposure to stigma, and worse mental health outcomes relative to cisgender participants. Nonbinary BIPOC participants reported higher levels of anxiety and depression than cisgender BIPOC participants.

与异性恋和男同性恋/女同性恋同龄人相比，年轻的双性恋者在心理健康和性暴力方面存在差异。然而，尽管有证据表明双性恋人群的健康状况因种族和性别而异，但这些领域的大多数研究并没有采用交叉设计。本文旨在对 112 名 18-26 岁双性恋者的性暴力发生率进行交叉性探讨，并提供有关耻辱感、心理健康和社会支持的描述性数据。大多数参与者（82%）表示，自 16 岁起至少有过一次性暴力经历。性暴力与性污名、焦虑、抑郁和自杀呈正相关。与顺性别参与者相比，非二元参与者报告了更高的暴力发生率、更多的耻辱感以及更差的心理健康结果。非二元双性恋参与者报告的焦虑和抑郁程度高于顺性别双性恋参与者。

People report more negative attitudes toward bisexual than gay/lesbian individuals, but little is known about attitudes at the intersections of gender and race/ethnicity. We examined whether attitudes toward bisexual people differed depending on: 1) target gender identity (man, woman), gender modality (cisgender, transgender), and race/ethnicity (White, Black, Hispanic); and 2) participant gender identity (man, woman) and race/ethnicity (White, person of color). As part of a cross-sectional survey, 552 participants rated their feelings toward 12 bisexual targets who varied in gender identity/modality and race/ethnicity. A repeated-measures ANOVA indicated that participants rated bisexual men more negatively than women, transgender individuals more negatively than cisgender individuals, and Black/Hispanic individuals more negatively than White individuals. However, differences based on target gender identity and race/ethnicity were only observed for cisgender targets, and most effects were only observed for male participants. Efforts to improve attitudes toward bisexual people must account for heterogeneity based on target/participant characteristics.

人们对双性恋的负面态度比对同性恋的负面态度要多，但人们对性别和种族的态度却知之甚少。我们研究了对双性恋者的态度是否会因以下因素而有所不同:1)目标性别认同(男性、女性)、性别形态(顺性、变性)和种族/民族(白人、黑人、西班牙裔);2)参与者的性别认同(男性，女性)和种族/民族(白人，有色人种)。作为横断面调查的一部分，552名参与者评估了他们对12名性别认同/形态和种族/民族不同的双性恋对象的感受。重复测量方差分析表明，参与者对双性恋男性的负面评价高于女性，对变性人的负面评价高于对顺性人的负面评价，对黑人/西班牙裔人的负面评价高于对白人的负面评价。然而，基于目标性别认同和种族/民族的差异仅在顺性别目标中观察到，并且大多数影响仅在男性参与者中观察到。改善对双性恋者态度的努力必须考虑到基于目标/参与者特征的异质性。

Abstract Depression is prevalent among sexual minority women, with internalized heterosexism a risk factor. Whilst research has found self-compassion to provide protection against depressive symptoms, its six components are rarely examined individually. The current study aimed to investigate the protective function of self-compassion and its components among lesbian and bisexual women by testing a moderated-mediation model to assess whether self-compassion was indirectly related to depressive symptoms via internalized heterosexism and whether this effect was conditional upon sexual orientation. An international sample of 498 bisexual and 416 lesbian women aged 18 to 75 years completed an online survey consisting of the Self-Compassion Scale, Center for Epidemiological Studies – Depression Scale, and Lesbian Internalized Homophobia Scale – Short Form. Results found that bisexual women were less self-compassionate, held more internalized heterosexism, and had a higher severity of depressive symptoms compared to lesbian women. While self-compassion was directly related to lower levels of depressive symptoms and indirectly related via lower levels of internalized heterosexism, the effects were not conditional on sexual orientation. Findings suggest that despite differences in minority stress and depressive symptoms, self-compassion serves a similar protective function for lesbian and bisexual women. Increasing bisexual and lesbian women’s self-compassion in therapy has the potential to provide an effective point of psychological intervention in the treatment of depressive symptoms.

摘要抑郁症在性少数女性中普遍存在，内化异性恋是一个危险因素。虽然研究发现自我同情可以预防抑郁症状，但它的六个组成部分很少被单独研究。本研究旨在探讨自我同情在女同性恋和双性恋女性中的保护功能及其组成部分，通过一个有调节的中介模型来评估自我同情是否通过内化异性恋而间接与抑郁症状相关，以及这种作用是否以性取向为条件。一个由498名双性恋和416名女同性恋组成的国际样本，年龄在18到75岁之间，完成了一项由自我同情量表、流行病学研究中心抑郁量表和女同性恋内化同性恋恐惧症量表组成的在线调查。结果发现，与女同性恋女性相比，双性恋女性的自我同情更少，内化的异性恋倾向更多，抑郁症状也更严重。虽然自我同情与较低程度的抑郁症状直接相关，并通过较低程度的内化异性恋间接相关，但其影响并不取决于性取向。研究结果表明，尽管在少数族裔压力和抑郁症状方面存在差异，但自我同情对女同性恋和双性恋女性具有类似的保护功能。在治疗中增加双性恋和女同性恋女性的自我同情有可能为抑郁症状的治疗提供一个有效的心理干预点。

Abstract Research with a specific focus on bisexual students’ schooling experiences is still quite rare, and studies focusing on bisexual students’ positive schooling experiences are even more uncommon. The present study addresses this scarcity by analyzing interviews with students from a lower secondary school in Sweden. In the article, the center of analysis is one key informant, a male bisexual student who has had positive experiences of ‘coming out’ at school. The results reveal a local school culture at the school that could be categorized as inclusive and safe. The study also explores everyday situations in which the key informant is forced to stay closeted. These narratives are framed in relation to heteronormativity and loneliness. At the investigated school, the student welfare team is aware of the student’s life situation and supports him. The overall picture that emerges in the narratives is an everyday life situation that could be described as being trapped between being out and being closeted.

摘要专门关注双性恋学生上学经历的研究仍然相当罕见，而关注双性恋同学积极上学经历的调查更是罕见。本研究通过分析对瑞典一所初中学生的采访来解决这种稀缺性。在这篇文章中，分析的中心是一位关键的线人，一位在学校有过积极“出柜”经历的双性恋男学生。研究结果显示，该校的当地学校文化可以被归类为包容性和安全性。这项研究还探讨了关键线人被迫闭门的日常情况。这些叙述是与非规范性和孤独相关的。在被调查的学校，学生福利小组了解学生的生活情况并给予支持。故事中出现的整体画面是一种日常生活状况，可以被描述为被困在外出和封闭之间。

ABSTRACT Little is known about the ways in which older bisexual individuals make meaning out of their sexual identity. This study examined narratives of older bisexual women from a life course perspective to better understand their life experiences and how their bisexual identities developed within historical and discursive contexts. In-depth interviews with bisexual-identified older women (age 60+) were analyzed using a 6-step Foucauldian discourse analysis process. Two groups of women emerged in the data, distinguished by the timing of their first attractions to women and their constructions of bisexuality. The Early Emergers were characterized by their early attractions to women and emphasis on biological constructions, while the Midlife Migrators recognized their attractions to women relatively later and described bisexuality as a social construction. Findings indicate the need for multiple legible narratives of bisexuality and the need to examine historical context and timing of lives as indicators of potential challenges and strengths.

摘要：关于年长的双性恋者如何从他们的性身份中获得意义，我们知之甚少。这项研究从生命历程的角度考察了年长双性恋女性的叙事，以更好地了解她们的生活经历，以及她们的双性恋身份是如何在历史和话语背景下发展起来的。对双性恋老年女性（60岁以上）的深度访谈采用6步福柯语篇分析过程进行分析。数据中出现了两组女性，其区别在于她们第一次吸引女性的时间和她们的双性恋结构。早期移民的特点是他们早期对女性的吸引力和对生物结构的重视，而中年移民相对较晚才认识到他们对女性的吸引，并将双性恋描述为一种社会结构。研究结果表明，需要对双性恋进行多种清晰的叙述，并需要研究历史背景和生活时间，作为潜在挑战和优势的指标。

ABSTRACT We blend person perception work with queer appearance psychology to examine the relationship between body size and bisexuality. In an online survey (N = 472, Mage = 25.15, 63.8% women), we examined the specific traits associated with a range of computer-modeled bodies identified as bisexual. We found that average body sizes were perceived as most prototypical of both bisexual men and bisexual women, skinny, and fat bodies were more associated with clusters of traits that contrast with common stereotypes about bisexuality. Additionally, we found that bisexual men were associated with increased masculinity and decreased femininity relative to bisexual women, and found a general, though nonsignificant trend such that bisexual men were perceived as having heightened androcentric desire relative to women. Finally, we found evidence for the role of typicality as a mediator of perceived prejudice; less prototypical bodies tended to be perceived as experiencing greater prejudice based on body size.

摘要我们将人的感知工作与酷儿外表心理学相结合，来研究体型与双性恋之间的关系。在线调查中（N = 472，Mage=25.15，63.8%的女性），我们研究了与一系列被确定为双性恋的计算机建模身体相关的特定特征。我们发现，平均体型被认为是双性恋男性和双性恋女性的最典型，瘦削和肥胖的身体更多地与一系列特征相关，这些特征与常见的双性恋刻板印象形成了鲜明对比。此外，我们发现，与双性恋女性相比，双性恋男性与男性气质的增强和女性气质的降低有关，并发现了一个普遍但不显著的趋势，即双性恋男性被认为与女性相比具有更高的以男性为中心的欲望。最后，我们发现了典型性作为感知偏见的中介作用的证据；不太典型的身体往往会被认为经历了基于体型的更大偏见。

Sexual Intimate Partner Violence: Effects of Prejudice toward Bisexual and Gay Men on Victim Blame 性亲密伴侣暴力:对双性恋和同性恋男性的偏见对受害者指责的影响

Abstract Bisexual men are one of the least studied populations within the sexual intimate partner violence (SIPV) literature, despite the prevalence of SIPV being equivalent between bisexual and gay men, and greater in bisexual than heterosexual men. Consequently, it remains unclear as to what factors contribute to SIPV–related victim blame toward bisexual men. The current study utilized a mixed–methods design to investigate prejudiced attitudes toward bisexual and gay men as predictors of victim blame in the context of SIPV. Participants (N = 124) were randomly assigned to read a vignette wherein a bisexual or gay man disclosed an experience of SIPV. Participants then completed measures of victim blame and prejudiced attitudes toward bisexual or gay men. As a means of contextualizing the quantitative analyses, participants also completed a qualitative stereotype task. Results indicated that prejudiced attitudes toward both bisexual and gay men predicted victim blame, and that victim blame attributions toward bisexual and gay men did not differ. Qualitative findings indicated that there was overlap between the stereotypes attributed to bisexual and gay men, which may explain the lack of difference in victim blame toward the two groups. These results implicate prejudice reduction and controlled stereotype processing strategies as a means of reducing victim blame attributions toward sexual minority men.

在性亲密伴侣暴力(SIPV)文献中，双性恋男性是研究最少的人群之一，尽管SIPV的患病率在双性恋和男同性恋之间相当，并且双性恋男性比异性恋男性更大。因此，目前尚不清楚是什么因素导致了双性恋男性受到性传播疾病相关受害者的指责。本研究采用混合方法设计来调查在SIPV背景下，对双性恋和同性恋男性的偏见态度作为受害者责备的预测因素。参与者(N = 124)被随机分配阅读一篇小短文，其中一名双性恋或同性恋男子透露了SIPV的经历。然后，参与者完成了受害者责任和对双性恋或同性恋男性的偏见态度的测量。作为定量分析的情境化手段，参与者还完成了定性刻板印象任务。结果表明，对双性恋和男同性恋者的偏见态度预测了受害者的指责，对双性恋和男同性恋者的受害者指责归因没有差异。定性研究结果表明，双性恋和男同性恋的刻板印象之间存在重叠，这可能解释了受害者对这两个群体的指责缺乏差异。这些结果表明，减少偏见和控制刻板印象加工策略可以减少受害者对性少数群体男性的责备归因。
