对关于性取向的研究文献进行了广泛的调查，目的是确定性取向是如何在概念上和操作上界定的，以及研究主题是如何确定和选择的。对47种不同期刊的228篇文章进行了分析。研究发现，性取向在28项研究中被概念性定义，在168项研究中被操作性定义。在196项研究中，受访者是根据他们被发现的环境来确定的。由于性取向的概念和操作定义存在很大差异，调查人员得出结论，这是潜在的概念混乱的症状。
An extensive survey of the research literature on sexual orientation was undertaken for the purpose of determining how sexual orientation had been conceptually and operationally defined and how research subjects had been identified and selected. Two hundred-twenty-eight articles from 47 different journals ere analyzed. Sexual orientation, it was found, was conceptually defined in 28 studies and operationally defined in 168. In 196 studies respondents were identified on the basis of the settings in which they were found. Because of the great variation in both conception and operational definitions of sexual orientation, the investigators conclude, is symptomatic of an underlying conceptual confusion.
