传统上,社会科学研究人员发现很难获得具有代表性的男同性恋和女同性恋样本。尽管如此,这并没有阻止一些人对同性恋群体的生活和精神状态做出广泛的结论。最近几个月,两项独立的全国性研究调查了成年人和青少年的性态度和性行为。总的来说,在这些研究中调查的男性和女性的样本量都在数千人。因为这两项研究的对象都是随机选择的,所以研究结果是基于具有广泛的性态度和性行为的人。在许多方面,这些研究证实了一些小型研究的数据。也就是说,同性恋取向对一些男性和女性来说可能是精神障碍的一个风险因素。此外,与性取向有关的问题斗争的青少年考虑或企图自杀的可能性是同龄人的两倍。
Abstract Social science researchers have traditionally found it difficult to obtain representative samples of gay men and lesbians. Still, this has not prevented some from making broad conclusions about the lives and mental status of homosexuals as a group. In recent months, two separate national studies have examined sexual attitudes and behaviors of adults and adolescents. Collectively, the sample size of males and females surveyed in these studies is in the thousands. Because the subjects in both studies were randomly selected, the findings were based on persons with a wide spectrum of sexual attitudes and behaviors. In many respects, these studies confirm some of the data from smaller studies. That is, homosexual orientation can be a risk factor for psychiatric disturbance for some men and women. In addition, adolescents struggling with issues related to sexual orientation are two times more likely than their peers to consider or attempt suicide.
