Changes in Sexual Identity Labels in a Contemporary Cohort of Emerging Adult Women: Patterns, Prevalence and a Typology

Abstract: Changes in sexual identity labels in a contemporary cohort of emerging adult women: patterns, prevalence and a typology Sexual attraction, behaviour and identity are subject to change across the life course for some individuals, and certain developmental periods such as emerging adulthood appear particularly conducive to this. However, the evidence documenting these phenomena comes overwhelmingly from data collected 10-20 years ago. In the brief interlude since, the socio-political context has changed markedly… Show more

“…It is important to underline the fact that sexual identity data represent a simplified (and sometimes imprecise) indication of an individual's sexual orientation. A person's sexual identity can be complex and multi-layered, and it may vary over time (Allen 2016;Campbell, Perales, and Baxter 2020;Diamond, Dickenson, and Blair 2017). The survey instrument used to collect sexual identity information acts as a 'statistical filter' of this more complex reality.…”

“…Ideally, changes in sexual identity over time would be measured and analysed using longitudinal survey or census microdata. However, reflecting the limited data environment, relatively few studies have been able to achieve this (e.g., Campbell, Perales, and Baxter 2020;Dickson et al 2013;Mock and Eibach 2012;Ott et al 2011). Some (but not all) suggest greater fluidity in female sexual identity (e.g., Katz-Wise 2015), and less stability in bisexual identities than other sexual minority identities.…”

“…The socioecological environment of non-heteronormative and, particularly, sexual minority groups, within a western context, is argued to be a rapidly evolving environment [38]. However, it was only over the last century that more positive attitudes emerged; in 1957, Evelyn Hooker was credited as the first psychologist to challenge the dominant view of homosexuality being a disorder [39].…”
