Abstract: Abstract A substantial body of research has demonstrated that levels of suicide risk among homosexual individuals are higher as compared to heterosexual individuals (Mu et al., 2016; Pl?derl et al., 2014; Wei, 2015); However, little is known about the important factors that influence Chinese homosexuals’ suicide. In this study, guided by social-ecological perspective and stress-diathesis model, a moderated mediation model was constructed to examine the effects and underlying mechanisms of stress (parenting rejection styles), cognition (perceived discrimination) and protective (coming out) factors on Chinese homosexuals’ suicide. Specifically, the present study examined whether parenting rejection styles were indirectly related to Chinese homosexuals’ suicide through perceived discrimination, and whether this indirect association was moderated by coming out. The study sample included 493 homosexuals, of which 245 (49.70%) were gay men and 248 (50.30%) lesbians. The research focused on the “identity-centered” model of Chinese homosexuals (Wang, 2013b), so participants’ age ranged from 16 to 35 years (M = 24.12, SD = 5.18). Participants were recruited for the study to complete self-report questionnaires. Parenting rejection styles were measured with the short-egna minnen av barndoms uppfostran questionnaires which consist of 12 items, and the respondents rated the extent to which they agreed with each statement on a 4-point Likert scale. Perceived discrimination was measured with the perceived discrimination questionnaire which consists of 10 items, and the respondents rated the extent to which they agreed with each statement on a 5-point Likert scale. Suicide was measured with the suicidal behaviors questionnaire-revised which consists of 4 items, if the participant’s score is more than 7 that the participant will be considered to having a high suicide risk. Coming out was measured with a self-made questionnaire. All the measures have good reliability and validity. The major findings of the present show that (1) Chinese homosexuals were highly suicide risk groups. (2) Parenting rejection styles had a negative effect on Chinese homosexuals’ suicide. (3) The negative impact of parenting rejection styles on Chinese homosexuals’ suicide was mediated by perceived discrimination, while parenting rejection styles not only had a direct influence on Chinese homosexuals’ suicide, but also had an indirect influence on Chinese homosexuals’ suicide through perceived discrimination. (4) Coming out moderated the second path of the mediation. For homosexuals in China whose didn’t coming out, with the increase of perceived discrimination, their suicide had a very obviously ascending trend (βsimple = .27, t = 3.12, p < .01); For homosexuals in China whose coming out, with the increase of perceived discrimination, their suicide hadn’t significantly ascending trend (βsimple = .10, t = 1.83, p > .05). (5) The effect of parenting rejection styles on Chinese homosexuals’ suicide was moderated mediating effect． These findings contributed to our understanding of how and when parenting rejection styles affected Chinese homosexuals’ suicide as viewed through the lenses of the stress-diathesis model. Last but not the least, the paper found special underlying mechanisms of homosexuals’ suicide in China, which was of great theoretical significance and guiding value for focusing on the suicide of Chinese homosexuals.
