青春期是身份探索的时期，初步证据表明青少年描述其性和性别身份（SOGI）的方式正在发生变化。对 SOGI 的细致了解对于发展研究的有效评估是必要的。目前的措施没有体现年轻人中新兴身份的多样性。我们的研究分析了 17,112 名性少数群体和性别少数青少年（13-17 岁）的全国样本，以更好地了解如何报告性少数群体、性别少数群体和种族少数群体的身份标签。青少年报告了 26 种不同的 SOGI 类别； 24% 的青少年使用非传统 SOGI 标签，例如泛性恋和非二元性别。这些身份认同因民族身份的不同而存在显着差异。结果对学者如何概念化和衡量青少年 SOGI 具有影响。
Adolescence is a time of identity exploration, and preliminary evidence indicates the ways adolescents are describing their sexual and gender identities (SOGI) are changing. A nuanced understanding of SOGI is necessary for valid assessment in developmental research. Current measures do not capture the diversity of emerging identities among young people. Our study analyzed a national sample of 17,112 sexual and gender minority adolescents (13-17 years) to better understand how identity labels are reported across sexual, gender, and ethnoracial minorities. Adolescents reported 26 distinct SOGI categories; 24% of adolescents utilized nontraditional SOGI labels, such as pansexual and nonbinary. These identifications varied significantly as a function of ethnoracial identity. Results have implications for how scholars conceptualize and measure SOGI among adolescents.
