Abstract:
In the present study, we explored the moderating effects of perceived family acceptance on the relationship between disclosure of sexual orientation and the psychological well-being in Thai lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) young adults. A total of 676 LGB participants (age 18- 25 years) participated in this study by completing an online questionnaire. Collected data was analysed using descriptive statistics and Moderated Multiple Regression. The results of this research are as follows: 1. Disclosure of sexual orientation significantly and positively predicted higher psychological well-being. (β = .11, p = .008) 2. Perceived family acceptance significantly and positively predicted higher psychological well-being. (β = .25, p < .001) 3. Perceived family acceptance did not moderate the association between disclosure and psychological well-being. (β = -.01, p < .819) Our findings suggest the important role of family in the lives of Thai LGB young adults.
