The primary purpose of the current study to explore the influence of parent attachment factors on homosexual identity formation, psychological adjustment and select aspects of parent awareness for a sample of gay and lesbian young adults. Since these areas represent important components in the lives of gay and lesbian individuals, they were additionally compared with each other to determine if significant relationships patterns exist.

520 $a The primary purpose of the current study to explore the influence of parent attachment factors on homosexual identity formation, psychological adjustment and select aspects of parent awareness for a sample of gay and lesbian young adults. Since these areas represent important components in the lives of gay and lesbian individuals, they were additionally compared with each other to determine if significant relationships patterns exist.
520 $a A review of the literature indicates a need for additional research studies in the area of family relationships for gay men and lesbians. Specifically, how relational factors with parents either supports or limits developmental, emotional and adaptive processes?
520 $a Participants included 108 self identified gay and lesbian individuals between 19-35 years old. Recruitment was accomplished through a variety of sources including gay/lesbian Listserv groups on the Internet, which provided a nationwide sample.
520 $a Subjects independently completed the following instruments: Kenny Parent Attachment Questionnaire, Adult Personality Assessment Questionnaire, Gay Identity Questionnaire and a 20-item personal data/demographic survey. Using a non-experimental exploratory research design, data from these measures were assessed in order to answer the study's five research questions.
520 $a Demographic analysis demonstrated that higher parent education levels and younger age parents were significantly associated with greater parent attachment. Parent attachment factors were also significantly correlated with psychological adjustment scales suggesting a consistent relationship between parent attachment and emotional well being. Maternal attachment factors were shown to be positively associated with Homosexual Identity Formation (HIF) at the higher developmental stages, while conversely paternal attachment was seen to decline at these stages. A surprising finding was that parent attachment factors did not vary whether a parent was aware of their son's/daughter's sexual/affectional orientation or not. Reported maternal awareness was associated with higher stages of homosexual identity progression consistent with the HIF model. This was not demonstrated for father awareness. Also parent relationships were shown to deteriorate initially after parent awareness, but improved over time and eventually returned to pre-awareness levels. A limitation for this research involves a gap in sample representation of early stages of gay/lesbian identity formation.
520 $a The study supports parent attachment as a viable area for exploring gay/lesbian identity development and psychological adjustment. Implications from this study can be of benefit in both clinical and support settings as well as in continued research in the areas of homosexuality and identity development, family relations and psychological adjustment.
