Abstract

According to previous studies, sexual minority orientation is reported to be associated with higher risk of suicidal behaviors than heterosexual orientation. Considering the gravity of the consequences of suicide, the above results deserve further investigation by researchers. Therefore, the present study aimed to review the relationship between sexual orientation and suicide risk by analyzing peer-reviewed journal articles registered in PsycINFO database from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2016 inclusive. The results indicated that the number of journal articles on sexual orientation and suicide has been on the rise over time. The research methods of the literature were divided into two major categories: empirical research and theoretical/literature review, and the former is subdivided into quantitative, qualitative, and meta-analytic research. Except for the meta-analytic research, the sexual orientation self-reported by people who participated in empirical research was classified into five categories: Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual(LGB), Heterosexual(H), Questioning/Unsure(Q), Lesbian and Gay(LG), and others. The content of entire papers this article includes largely falls into three categories: the relationship between sexual orientation and suicidal behaviors and mediating and moderating factors which affect the relationship between sexual orientation and suicidal behaviors. Finally, encapsulated results of the current article as well as the need and direction of related research in the future were discussed.
