Currently, the literature related to sexual orientation is ambiguous with regard to the relationship of sexual orientation, sexual identity, attraction, and intimacy. In order to explore the relationships of self-identified categorical sexual identity (which is the most popular method of sexual orientation assessment) with attraction and intimacy, it is imperative that researchers have access to a reliable and valid measure of the latter. The present study proposes a model for conceptualizing attraction and intimacy, termed gendered sexuality, and examines the factor structure of a measure designed to assess the construct. Results suggest that four factors adequately accounted for the variance in gendered sexuality in a large sample of young adults. These factors assess attraction to females, attraction to males, intimacy with females, and intimacy with males. Exploratory analyses provided preliminary evidence of potential construct validity and suggested that discrepancies between desired and available behavior predict dissatisfaction in interpersonal role as measured by the Outcome Questionnaire 45.2.
目前，关于性取向的文献在性取向、性身份认同、吸引力和亲密关系之间的关联方面含糊不清。为了探究自我认定的分类性身份认同（这是最常用的性取向评估方法）与吸引力和亲密关系之间的联系，研究人员必须能够获得一种可靠且有效的衡量后者的方法。本研究提出了一个用于概念化吸引力和亲密关系的模型，称为性别化性取向，并检验了一项旨在评估该构念的测量工具的因子结构。结果表明，四个因子充分解释了大量年轻成年人样本中性别化性取向的方差。这些因子分别评估对女性的吸引力、对男性的吸引力、与女性的亲密关系以及与男性的亲密关系。探索性分析提供了潜在构念效度的初步证据，并表明期望行为与可得行为之间的差异预示着用《结果问卷45.2》衡量的人际角色满意度较低。
