在经济学和社会科学领域对异性恋者、双性恋者和同性恋者进行比较的研究通常依赖于两种策略来识别普通人群的性取向。询问受访者自我报告他们的性取向通常被认为是更可取的选择。由于在大多数大型多学科调查中无法获得自我报告,研究人员通常会从被调查者伴侣的性别星座中推断性取向。本文基于德国社会经济面板(SOEP)数据,在家庭面板调查的背景下对这两种策略进行了实证研究。分析表明,自我报告的性取向和伴侣推断的性取向并不是相互替代的,相反,对于异性恋者和同性恋者(女同性恋、男同性恋和双性恋者)之间的差异,得出了截然不同的结论。本文讨论了伴侣推断性取向的不覆盖问题,并对自我报告性取向的测量误差进行了调查,发现了显著的模式效应和访谈者效应。
Abstract Research comparing heterosexuals with bisexuals and homosexuals in economics and the social sciences typically relies on two strategies to identify sexual orientation in existing survey data of general populations. Probing respondents to self-report their sexual orientation is generally considered the preferred option. Since self-reports are unavailable in most large multidisciplinary surveys, often researchers infer sexual orientation from the gender-constellation of a respondent’s partnership instead. Based on German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) data, this article reviews both strategies empirically in the context of a household panel survey. The analysis shows that self-reported and partnership-inferred sexual orientation are not mutual substitutes, instead leading to substantively different conclusions about differences between heterosexuals and LGBs (Lesbian, Gays, and Bisexuals). The article discusses problems of non-coverage in partnership-inferred sexual orientation and also investigates measurement error in self-reported sexual orientation, finding notable mode and interviewer effects.
