被同性吸引的女性在吸引力和行为上的流动性已经被很好地记录下来，这表明随着时间的推移，动力系统对这些现象进行建模是合适的。由于动力系统模型提供了一种解释复杂现象模式的方法，它可能适合解释女性同性性行为的变异性。这项研究是这种分析方法在这类数据上的首次应用。动态系统模型，特别是广义的局部线性近似模型，被用来拟合关于同性吸引力和21天内行为的每日日记数据，这些女性是33名性别少数族裔女性，根据她们的身份认同史被描述为女同性恋者、双性恋者或“流浪者”。女性报告的同性景点的每日测量数据使用线性振荡器模型进行拟合，其参数估计了这些景点的周期性。结果支持这一样本中女性的“核心性取向”的存在，无论她们是如何识别的，而且尽管日常的同性吸引力有很高的变异性。因此，在性少数民族女性的吸引力和行为的变异性中建立个体差异的模型，可能对于加深我们对女性同性性行为和更广泛的人类性取向的理解至关重要。
Fluidity in attractions and behaviors among same-sex attracted women has been well-documented, suggesting the appropriateness of dynamical systems modeling of these phenomena over time. As dynamical systems modeling offer an approach to explaining the patterns of complex phenomena, it may be apt for explaining variability in female same-sex sexuality. The present research is the first application of this analytical approach to such data. Dynamical systems modeling, and specifically generalized local linear approximation modeling, was used to fit daily diary data on same-sex attractions and behaviors over a 21 day period among a group of 33 sexual minority women characterized as lesbian, bisexual or “fluid” based on their identity histories. Daily measures of women’s reported same-sex attractions were fit using a linear oscillator model and its parameters estimated the cyclicity in these attractions. Results supported the existence of a “core sexual orientation” for women in this sample, regardless of how they identified and despite a high degree of variability in daily same-sex attractions. Thus, modeling individual differences in the variability of attractions and behaviors of sexual minority women may be critical to furthering our understanding of female same-sex sexuality and human sexual orientation more broadly.
