your words Lesbian and bisexual women's attraction, orientation, and activity were examined in an effort to understand how sexualities are developed. Also, attraction, orientation, and activity were measured in relation to the binge drinking behaviors. Hypothesis (1), the three variables attraction, orientation, and activity are similar, but reveal distinctions. Hypothesis (2), compared to heterosexual women, lesbian and bisexual women will have more unhealthy drinking behaviors, especially bisexual women due to sexual minority stress. The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG 2006-2010) public female and ACASI female data files were used. Results indicated that attraction, orientation, and activity are all separate factors that contribute to the development of a woman's sexuality. It was found that lesbian and bisexual women, especially bisexual women are more likely to engage in binge drinking behaviors compared to heterosexual women. In addition, attraction and activity appear to be slightly greater predictors of binge drinking behaviors. |
