本研究采用混合方法数据和生命历程的角度来探讨宠物在50岁及以上的女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性人（LGBT）生活中的作用，并解决了以下研究问题：（1）养宠物与感知的社会支持和社会网络规模有什么关系？以及（2）LGBT老年人如何描述宠物在他们生活中的意义？定性数据（N = 59）来自面对面访谈，定量数据（N = 2，560）来自美国各地的样本调查。定性研究结果表明，宠物的特点是亲属和同伴，并提供支持，我们还探讨了为什么参与者没有宠物。定量研究结果表明，有宠物的LGBT老年人有更高的感知社会支持;那些残疾和社交网络规模有限的人，有宠物的人比没有宠物的人有更高的感知社会支持。
This study uses mixed-methods data and a life-course perspective to explore the role of pets in the lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) adults age 50 and over and addresses the following research questions: (1) How does having a pet relate to perceived social support and social network size? and (2) how do LGBT older adults describe the meaning of pets in their lives? The qualitative data (N = 59) were collected from face-to-face interviews, and the quantitative data (N = 2,560) were collected via surveys from a sample across the United States. Qualitative findings show that pets are characterized as kin and companions and provide support; we also explore why participants do not have pets. The quantitative findings show that LGBT older adults with a pet had higher perceived social support; those with a disability and limited social network size, who had a pet had significantly higher perceived social support than those without a pet.
