This study examines the hypothesis that non-normative parent sex-role qualities contribute to homosexual and transvestite development. Using the Parent Characteristics Questionnaire (PCQ), this hypothesis was tested among samples of male and female heterosexuals, male and female homosexuals, and male transvestites. The PCQ assesses the relative distribution of five personality traits between mother and father: R-F (relative father) intellectuality, R-F dependence, R-F affiliation, R-F endurance, and R-F aggressive-dominance. No significant differences were noted for the male homosexuals, while the hypothesized effects were evident for lesbian women and male transvestites, even when statiscally controlling for age and education differences. Theoretical interpretations of the results are offered in the context of a nonpathological explanation of sexual orientation and preference.
本研究检验了这样一种假设，即非规范性的父母性别角色特质会促成同性恋和异装癖的发展。使用父母特征问卷（PCQ），在男女异性恋者、男女同性恋者以及男异装癖者样本中对这一假设进行了检验。PCQ评估了父母之间五种人格特质的相对分布：R-F（相对父亲）智力、R-F依赖性、R-F亲和性、R-F耐力以及R-F攻击性-支配性。男同性恋者未发现显著差异，而对于女同性恋者和男异装癖者，即使在对年龄和教育差异进行统计学控制后，假设的影响依然明显。研究结果在性取向和偏好的非病理学解释背景下给出了理论阐释。
