收集了 50 名接受过改变性取向咨询的摩门教徒的观点。使用不断比较的方法和参与者验证来分析数据，从而发展出扎根的理论。出现了一个模型，该模型描述了参与者寻求转变或“修复”治疗的个人和人际动机、他们对此类干预措施的感知益处和危害，以及促进自我接受和巩固积极自我认同的因素。基于这些描述，这项研究为更广泛的治疗方法奠定了基础（除了只关注改变性取向或采用女同性恋、男同性恋或双性恋身份的治疗方法之外），该治疗方法旨在为有宗教冲突、受同性吸引的客户提供个性化的一致解决方案。
Perspectives were gathered of 50 Mormon individuals who had undergone counseling to change their sexual orientation. The data were analyzed using the constant comparative method and participant verification, thereby developing a grounded theory. A model emerged that depicted participants' intrapersonal and interpersonal motivations for seeking conversion or "reparative" therapy, their perceived benefits and harms of such interventions, and the factors that facilitated self-acceptance and consolidation of a positive self-identity. Based on these descriptions, this study provides the foundation for a broader-based treatment approach (besides one focused solely on changing sexual orientation or adopting a lesbian, gay, or bisexual identity), which is designed to produce individualized congruent solutions for religiously conflicted, same-sex-attracted clients.
