In a structural equation model of 2,401 lesbian and bisexual women, three variables of lesbian sexual identity were found to predict outness, which predicted lower psychological distress, which, in turn, predicted lower suicidality. The model held true for the subsamples of European-American and African-American women, and to a lesser extent for those of Latina, Asian-American, Native-American, and Jewish women.
在一项针对2401名女同性恋和双性恋女性的结构方程模型中，发现女同性恋性身份的三个变量可预测出柜程度，而出柜程度又可预测较低的心理困扰，进而预测较低的自杀倾向。该模型在欧美裔和非裔美国女性子样本中成立，在拉丁裔、亚裔美国、美洲原住民和犹太女性子样本中的成立程度较低。
