摘要：

The present cross-sectional study investigated whether self-concealment and psychological inflexibility were associated with a range of psychological distress in sexual minorities and whether the associations between self-concealment and distress were established, in part, though psychological inflexibility. Participants were 100 college students (n(female) = 74) who self-identified their sexual orientations as "homosexual" or "bisexual." Both self-concealment and psychological inflexibility were significantly and positively associated with general psychological distress, somatization, depression, and anxiety. Furthermore, results revealed that self-concealment is associated with these four distress variables at least partly through psychological inflexibility.
