Lesbians have been consistently ignored in empirical psychological research. The current research extends Lee and Crawford's ( 2007 ) comprehensive review, which used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyze the amount and kind of research on lesbians. Quantitative measures from 1975-2009 showed that the increase found in Lee and Crawford in 2001 has leveled off and the neglect of lesbians remains pronounced. Using cluster analysis of data derived from content analysis of abstracts published from 2003-2009, we identified six topic groups: Others' Attitudes, Sexual Orientation, Intimate Relationships, Coping and Coming Out, Lesbians' Problems, and Life in Heterosexual Society. In particular, transformative research was scarce and scattered across the identified clusters. Results are discussed in terms of what they reveal about the social construction of lesbianism in psychological research.
女同性恋者在实证心理学研究中一直被忽视。当前的研究扩展了李和克劳福德（2007年）的全面综述，该综述采用定量和定性方法来分析关于女同性恋者的研究数量和种类。1975年至2009年的定量测量结果表明，李和克劳福德在2001年发现的增长已经趋于平稳，对女同性恋者的忽视仍然很明显。通过对2003年至2009年发表的摘要内容分析得出的数据进行聚类分析，我们确定了六个主题组：他人态度、性取向、亲密关系、应对与出柜、女同性恋者的问题以及在异性恋社会中的生活。特别是，变革性研究很少，且分散在已确定的类别中。我们根据这些结果揭示的心理学研究中女同性恋主义的社会建构情况进行了讨论。
