Cass' model (1979) of identity development and her Stage Allocation Measure (1984a) were assessed to determine their utility in describing the subjective experience of coming out as a lesbian and whether proposed stages could be tied to behavioral correlates of the Openness Questionnaire (Graham, Rawlings, & Girten, 1985). The process was considered in terms of a woman's differentiation from her family, sex-role attitudes, and levels of internalized homophobia. Eighty-one lesbians anonymously completed questionnaires. The results suggest that subjective labeling and behavior are congruent, but that rate of progression through stages does not imply integration of behavior. Four patterns of identity development were identified which suggest that relevant stages, speed of development, and stage attainment are characteristic of certain women. Intergenerational intimidation was significantly related to stage development, sex-role attitudes, openness behavior, and levels of internalized homophobia.
对卡斯（1979年）的身份发展模型及其阶段分配量表（1984年a版）进行了评估，以确定它们在描述女同性恋者出柜的主观体验方面的效用，以及所提出的阶段是否能与开放性问卷（格雷厄姆、罗林斯和吉尔滕，1985年）的行为相关因素联系起来。该过程从女性与其家庭的分化、性别角色态度以及内化恐同症程度等方面进行了考量。81名女同性恋者匿名填写了问卷。结果表明，主观标签与行为是一致的，但在各阶段的进展速度并不意味着行为的整合。确定了四种身份发展模式，这表明相关阶段、发展速度和阶段达成情况是某些女性的特征。代际恐吓与阶段发展、性别角色态度、开放性行为以及内化恐同症程度显著相关。
