The present study was undertaken to characterize the levels of stress in a sample of African American women heterosexual and lesbians in and lesbians out of the closet. To raise awareness and to discourage viewing African American women as a monolithic group. There were a total of 383 respondents who returned the Perceived Stress Scale and a demographics data form (170 heterosexual women, 133 out lesbians and 80 closeted lesbians). The demographic data form elicited demographic characteristics, including age, income and education. One of items on this form measured psychosocial variables, such as discrimination (e.g., racism, sexism, and or homophobia). Six research questions were asked and the analyses used were an independent sample t-tests and multiple regression. The analyses showed the following finding: no groups differed with regard to stress; higher income and education predicted less stress; experiences with all types of oppression predicted higher stress; women with more education and higher income were more likely to report experiences with racism and sexism; but no such pattern with homophobia and lastly, lesbians were more likely to report experiences with sexism than heterosexuals.
