研究人员对如何评估青少年的性取向意见不一。各个维度(例如吸引力、关系、行为、自我标签)的相对重要性尚不清楚,这让人们对评估青少年性取向的研究的有效性提出了质疑。为了解决这个问题,50名不同性取向的男女青少年参加了焦点小组和访谈。两种类型的性吸引一种是生理反应,另一种是认知反应是青少年性取向的核心。参与者并不认为性行为和自我认同是必然相关的。初步项目,以衡量性吸引力的基础上,这些青少年的看法。(C)2004年,青少年服务专业人员协会。由爱思唯尔有限公司出版。保留所有权利。
Researchers disagree on how to assess adolescent sexual orientation. The relative importance of various dimensions (e.g. attraction, relationships, behavior, self-labeling) is unknown, which calls into question the validity of studies assessing adolescent sexual orientation. To address this issue, 50 male and female adolescents of varied sexual orientations participated in focus groups and interviews. Two types of sexual attraction-one a physiologic reaction and the other a cognitive response-were central to adolescent sexual orientation. Participants did not perceive sexual behavior and self-identification as necessarily relevant. Preliminary items to measure sexual attraction were developed based on these adolescents' perceptions.
