In a review of 58 articles published between 1984 and 2008, this article synthesizes the recent state of social research on older lesbian, gay male, and bisexual adults in order to summarize existing knowledge about these groups, to guide future research on aging, and to identify the substantive issues affecting their lives. Based on a life-course perspective, the primary research domains identified include the interplay of lives and historical times and linked and interdependent lives. After reviewing the literature in each of these areas, the article presents an examination of the strengths and limitations of the body of knowledge and an outline of a blueprint for future research.
在对1984年至2008年间发表的58篇文章进行综述时,本文综合了近期关于老年女同性恋者、男同性恋者和双性恋成年人的社会研究状况,以便总结关于这些群体的现有知识,指导未来关于老龄化的研究,并确定影响他们生活的实质性问题。基于生命历程视角,确定的主要研究领域包括生命与历史时代的相互作用以及相互联系和相互依存的生活。在回顾了这些领域中每一个领域的文献之后,本文对知识体系的优势和局限性进行了审视,并勾勒了未来研究的蓝图大纲。
