Heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual men recalled the extent to which they had engaged in gender conforming (masculine) and gender nonconforming (feminine) behaviors as a child. Adult sexual orientation was predicted as accurately by memories of childhood gender conforming behaviors as by memories of childhood gender nonconforming behaviors. However, childhood scripts as recalled by homosexual men were considerably more diverse. Twenty-two of 61 homosexual men reported having experienced few, if any, of the gender conforming behaviors and most, if not all, of the gender nonconforming behaviors. Another 18 homosexual men had the same profile of recalled childhood experiences as heterosexual men (high probability of masculine behaviors and low probability of feminine behaviors). Such diversity has implications not only for commentaries on the basis for homosexuality but for issues to be addressed in future research.
异性恋、双性恋和同性恋男性回忆起他们童年时期从事符合性别规范(男性化)和不符合性别规范(女性化)行为的程度。童年时期符合性别规范行为的记忆与童年时期不符合性别规范行为的记忆一样,都能准确预测成年后的性取向。然而,同性恋男性回忆起的童年脚本要丰富得多。61名同性恋男性中有22人报告称,他们几乎没有经历过符合性别规范的行为,即使有也很少,而几乎经历了所有不符合性别规范的行为。另外18名同性恋男性回忆起的童年经历与异性恋男性相同(男性化行为的可能性高,女性化行为的可能性低)。这种多样性不仅对关于同性恋基础的评论有影响,而且对未来研究中要解决的问题也有影响。
