大多数LGBTQ心理学研究都集中在功能障碍上。在LGBTQ心理学中排除基于力量的观点限制了对LGBTQ心理健康的理解。在这篇文章中，我们报告的经验，年轻的双性恋和其他非单性恋的人认为肯定他们的性身份。一项为期28天的每日日记研究被用来调查双性恋身份的参与者是否遇到了与他们的性身份有关的积极经验，以及他们认为哪种类型的经验是积极的。使用建构主义扎根理论的方法，参与者的经验组织根据社会生态模型。经验报告在个人，人际和机构层面，但最积极的性身份的经验发生在人际层面。积极的健康结果研究和积极心理学与LGBTQ心理学的整合的影响进行了讨论，以及研究的局限性。
The majority of LGBTQ psychological research focuses on dysfunction. The exclusion of strengths-based perspectives in LGBTQ psychology limits the understanding of LGBTQ mental health. In this article we report experiences that young bisexual and other nonmonosexual people perceive as affirming of their sexual identity. A 28-day, daily diary study was used to investigate whether bisexual-identified participants encountered positive experiences related to their sexual identity, and which type of experiences they perceived to be positive. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, participants' experiences were organized according to a social ecological model. Experiences were reported at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, and institutional levels, but most positive sexual identity experiences occurred at the interpersonal level. Implications for positive health outcome research and the integration of positive psychology with LGBTQ psychology are discussed, as well as study limitations.
