关于双性恋者的经历的写作强调了决定何时以及如何向他人展示自己的性取向身份的持续过程的潜在复杂性（Rust，2002）。这里介绍的两项研究旨在提供有关双性恋者自我呈现性取向的基本知识。在研究1中，双性恋参与者（N = 147）比他们的女同性恋和男同性恋（LG）同龄人（N = 191）更不可能向他人展示他们的实际取向，更有可能表现出自己的性取向不同于他们的实际取向。这些性取向的差异被解释为浪漫伴侣的性别和对自己性取向的不确定性。性取向差异也出现在自我呈现和外向水平之间的联系。例如，自称为LG的双性恋参与者的日常外向水平相对较高;相反，自称为双性恋的LG参与者的日常外向水平相对较低。在第二项研究中，240名双性恋女性和男性表明了他们作为性少数群体的外向程度（可能包括同性恋，女同性恋，酷儿），特别是双性恋。外向性是较高的地位，作为一个性少数相比，作为双性恋的地位，这种差异的大小是由浪漫的伴侣和一个人的性取向的不确定性的性别预测。此外，即使控制了作为性少数群体的外向性，幸福感也是由双性恋对家庭成员的外向性预测的。
Writing on the experiences of bisexual-identified people has highlighted the potential complexity of the ongoing process of deciding when and how to present one’s sexual orientation identity to others (Rust, 2002). The two studies presented here were designed to contribute basic knowledge regarding self-presentation of sexual orientation among bisexual people. In Study 1, bisexual participants (N = 147) were less likely than their lesbian and gay (LG) peers (N = 191) to present their actual orientation to others, and more likely to present themselves as having a sexual orientation different from their actual orientation. These sexual orientation differences were explained by gender of romantic partner and uncertainty about one’s sexual orientation. Sexual orientation differences also emerged in links between self-presentation and outness level. For example, bisexual participants who presented themselves as LG had relatively high everyday outness levels; in contrast, LG participants who presented themselves as bisexual had relatively low everyday outness levels. In Study 2, 240 bisexual women and men indicated their levels of outness as a sexual minority person (potentially including identification as gay, lesbian, queer) and specifically as bisexual. Outness was higher with respect to status as a sexual minority compared to status as bisexual; the magnitude of this difference was predicted by gender of romantic partner and uncertainty about one’s sexual orientation. Moreover, even controlling for outness as a sexual minority person, well-being was predicted by outness as bisexual to family members.
