Abstract

Objective: To analyze the influence of growing experience on non-heterosexual orientation among male college students. Methods: From October to November in 2015, a total of 2 535 male students from 96 classes in 14 colleges/departments were recruited from two colleges that participated in the experimental work of AIDS prevention by cluster random sampling method. A structured questionnaire was administered in this study, including general demographic information, growing experience and Kinsey scale (to evaluate sexual orientation). Out of 2 500 questionnaires distributed in this study, 2 332 effective copies were withdrew, with the effective rate at 93.3%. Chi square test was used to analyze the differences of non-heterosexual orientation among the individuals with different social demographic characteristics. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of non-heterosexual orientation. Results: Among the 2 332 individuals, the proportion of self-reported non-heterosexual was 6.2% (144).The proportions of male students who identify as non-heterosexual from freshman to junior year were 5.2%(63/1216),6.9%(65/941),11.7%(13/111) and 4.7%(3/64), respectively (χ(2)=9.06,P=0.029). Compared with the individuals of very good relationship with parents, those with bad relationship (OR=3.3, 95%CI: 1.7-6.5) and general relationship (OR=1.7, 95%CI: 1.0-2.9) with parents had a higher risk of non-heterosexual orientation, respectively. Those encountered sexual assault had a higher risk of non-heterosexual orientation than those without encountered sexual assault (OR=5.9, 95%CI: 3.2-10.9). Conclusions: This study reported a high proportion of self-reported non-heterosexual among college male students in Nanjing, and highlighted the importance of targeting students with poor parental relationships and who subjected to sexually abused.

目的： 分析成长经历对在校男大学生自我认同为非异性性取向的影响。 方法： 于2015年10--11月，在南京市两所防艾试点高校内进行整群随机抽样，抽取了14个学院/系中96个班级内的所有男性学生，共2 535名。采用结构性问卷对其进行调查，问卷内容包括基本情况、成长经历及金赛量表（该表用来判定调查对象自我性取向认同）3个部分。本研究共发放问卷2 500份，收回有效问卷2 332份，有效率为93.3%。采用χ(2)检验比较不同特征调查对象自我认同为非异性恋的差异；采用多因素logistic回归模型分析影响调查对象自我认同为非异性恋的因素。 结果： 2 332名调查对象中，自我认同为非异性恋的比例为6.2%（144名）；其中大一、大二、大三和大四学生自我认同为非异性恋的比例分别为5.2%（63/1216）、6.9%（65/941）、11.7%（13/111）和4.7%（3/64）（χ(2)=9.06，P=0.029）。与小时父母关系非常好者相比，小时父母关系不好和一般的调查对象自我认同为非异性恋的OR（95%CI）值分别为3.3（1.7~6.5）和1.7（1.0~2.9）；与未遭遇过性侵犯经历者相比，有过该经历的调查对象自我认同为非异性恋的OR（95%CI）值为5.9（3.2~10.9）。 结论： 南京市在校大学生自我认同为非异性恋的比例较高，小时父母关系不好及遭遇过性侵犯的学生性取向发展需要加以关注。.
