Data from a survey of 58 gay men and 58 lesbians are compared to college men and women on Spence and Helmreich's (1978) Personality Attributes Questionnaire measures of masculinity, femininity, and androgyny. Lesbians had higher M scores than college women, and gay men had lower M scores than college men, with F scores being similar across sexual orientation groups, within gender. Androgyny measures differed only by gender, not by sexual orientation. Further analysis shows that lesbians' high M scores come largely from their high self-ratings as independent, while college men's high M scores reflect strong competitiveness. Questions are raised about the validity of these measures for comparing these groups.
一项针对58名男同性恋者和58名女同性恋者的调查数据，与大学生中的男性和女性在斯彭斯和赫尔姆赖希（1978年）的《人格特质问卷》中关于男性气质、女性气质和双性化的测量结果进行了比较。女同性恋者的男性气质得分高于女大学生，男同性恋者的男性气质得分低于男大学生，而女性气质得分在不同性取向群体的同性别者中相似。双性化测量结果仅因性别不同而有差异，不因性取向不同而有差异。进一步分析表明，女同性恋者较高的男性气质得分很大程度上源于她们对自身独立性的高自我评价，而男大学生较高的男性气质得分则反映出较强的竞争力。人们对这些测量方法用于比较这些群体的有效性提出了质疑。
