Abstract：
Although it is clear that religious beliefs can motivate family rejection among sexual and gender minorities (SGMs), ultimately harming their mental health, researchers have not examined the direct link between religiously based family expectations and mental health. In the present study, we first developed the Religiously Based Family Expectations Scale. The scale demonstrated good reliability and factor structure. It evidenced convergent and divergent validity with other measures of religiousness and sexual identity, as well as incremental validity in predicting mental health outcomes above and beyond these measures. Next, we examined how religiously based family expectations related to depression in a sample of 534 SGMs with a conservative religious background (raised as part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). We found that religiously based family expectations were positively related to depression but that this relationship was moderated by authenticity such that religiously based family expectations exerted a much stronger relationship with depression among SGMs who evidenced less authenticity.
摘要：
尽管很明显，宗教信仰可以激发性和性别少数群体（SGM）的家庭排斥，最终损害了他们的心理健康，研究人员尚未检查基于宗教的家庭期望与心理健康之间的直接联系。在本研究中,我们首先开发了基于宗教的家庭期望量表。量表显示出良好的可靠性和因素结构。它证明了与其他宗教和性认同衡量标准的趋同和不同的有效性，以及在预测这些措施之外的心理健康结果方面的增量有效性。接下来,我们在534名具有保守宗教背景的SGM(作为耶稣基督后期圣徒教会的一部分提出)样本中,研究了基于宗教的家庭期望与抑郁的关系.我们发现，基于宗教的家庭期望与抑郁症呈正相关，但这种关系受到真实性的调节，因此，基于宗教的家庭期望与抑郁症之间的关系更强。
