The Bell and Weinberg Homosexualities study attempts to subject important prior studies on homosexuality to systematic large-sample retests and also to break new ground in our positive understanding of homosexuality. In this article, defects in prior studies are surveyed, and then the adequacy of Bell and Weinberg's work is subjected to methodological evaluation. Issues discussed include the validity of the MMPI Mf scale, questions of sample representativeness, whether "straights" can do adequate research on homosexuality, differences in heterosexual and homosexual sexuality, the role of subculture acculturation in homosexual psychological adjustment, and the use of cluster-analysis to generate typologies of homosexualities.
贝尔和温伯格的同性恋研究试图对之前有关同性恋的重要研究进行系统的大样本重新测试,并在我们对同性恋的积极理解方面开辟新领域。本文先审视了先前研究中的缺陷,然后对贝尔和温伯格研究工作的充分性进行了方法论评估。讨论的问题包括明尼苏达多相人格测验(MMPI)男性气质量表(Mf)的有效性、样本代表性问题、“异性恋者”能否对同性恋进行充分研究、异性恋与同性恋性行为的差异、亚文化适应在同性恋心理调适中的作用,以及使用聚类分析生成同性恋类型。
