This study examined the relationship between internalized homophobia, self-esteem, and lesbian identity development in 35 undergraduate women. Results indicated evidence of a strong relationship between the two identity development measures, the Stage Allocation Measure (SAM; Cass, 1984) and the Gay Identity Questionnaire (GIQ; Brady & Busse, 1994), and moderate relationships between identity development and internalized homophobia, between identity development and self-esteem, and between internalized homophobia and self-esteem. Implications for research and clinical practice are discussed.
本研究调查了35名本科女生内化性恐同、自尊与女同性恋身份认同发展之间的关系。结果表明，两种身份认同发展测量方法，即阶段分配测量法（SAM；卡斯，1984年）和同性恋身份问卷（GIQ；布雷迪和布斯，1994年）之间存在密切关系的证据，同时身份认同发展与内化性恐同之间、身份认同发展与自尊之间、内化性恐同与自尊之间存在中度关系。文中还讨论了该研究对研究和临床实践的启示。
