该研究考察了男同性恋、女同性恋和双性恋青少年在青春期和成年早期的分离个体化情况，并评估了父母与青少年关系对幸福感和性取向认同发展的影响。 72 名青少年完成了与父母的关系、自主性和冲突独立性的访谈和问卷调查，以及父母态度、身份巩固和幸福感的自我报告。当青少年认为父母对性取向采取相对接受的态度时，他们与父母表现出更密切的联系和更大的冲突独立性，但并没有表现出更大的自主权。接受父母的态度和更大的分离个性化都预示着年轻人会有更积极的幸福感，尽管只有父母的态度才能预测性取向认同的更大巩固。虽然母亲通常比父亲更亲密、更支持，但与父母双方的关系是个人适应的重要、独立预测因素。讨论提出了分离-个性化、父母的感知接受度、身份巩固、最低幸福感之间的相互影响。
The study examines separation-individuation during adolescence and young adulthood for gay, lesbian, and bisexual youths, and evaluates the consequences of parent-youth relationships for well-being and sexual orientation identity development. Seventy-two youths completed interview and questionnaire measures of relatedness, autonomy, and conflictual independence in relation to mothers and fathers, along with self-reports of parent attitudes, identity consolidation, and well-being. When youths perceived that their parents had relatively accepting attitudes regarding sexual orientation they demonstrated closer relatedness and greater conflictual independence with parents, but not greater autonomy. Both accepting parental attitudes and greater separation-individuation predicted more positive well-being for the youths, though only parental attitudes predicted greater consolidation of sexual orientation identity. Although mothers were generally closer and more supportive than fathers, relationships with both parents were important, independent predictors of personal adjustment. The discussion proposes mutual influences among separation-individuation, perceived acceptance by parents, identity consolidation, min well-being.
