Supersymmetry-breaking effects on U({ital m}+{ital n})/U({ital m}){times}U({ital n}) nonlinear {sigma} models are studied in the framework of minimal supergravity. It is shown that, in a total doubling realization model, full U({ital m}+{ital n}) nonlinearly realized symmetry is retained even after supersymmetry breaking in the hidden sector, while coset symmetry is explicitly broken in the hidden sector coupling in a pure realization model. In a total doubling case, effective superpotential terms as well as soft breaking terms are induced, resulting in superpartners of Nambu-Goldstone bosons (quasi Nambu-Goldstone bosons and fermions) with masses which are determined by the gravitino mass. An application to the Higgs sector in the supersymmetric standard model is also discussed.
