男同性恋者自我认同发展的质性研究

A quality research on gay self-identity development

同性恋者自我认同是指认识和接纳自己的同性性倾向,并以同性恋者的身份组织个人生活,与社会发生积极的互动。自我认同对于维护同性恋者的身心和谐发展具有重要意义。该文使用质性研究的方法,通过对23名男同性恋者的半结构式访谈,利用扎根理论对访谈材料的进行编码分析,探索男同性恋者的自我认同发展历程。结果发现:男同性恋者的自我认同发展经历了同性吸引、自我标签化(即确认自己的同性性取向)、同性性接触和自我表露(即告知他人自己的同性恋者身份)等阶段;男同性恋者的身份公开主要发生在自我和私人层面,他们倾向于向周围人隐藏自己的性取向,更不愿意向父母表露自己的同性恋者身份;性行为对促进男同性恋者认同而言并不是必须的;家庭环境是影响同性恋形成的重要因素。
