  • Title: Families and parenting: a comparison of lesbian and heterosexual mothers.
    Author: McNeill KF, Rienzi BM, Kposowa A.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 1998 Feb; 82(1):59-62. PubMed ID: 9520536.
    Abstract:
    Mothers (24 lesbian and 35 heterosexual) were asked to complete a questionnaire of four scales, Index of Family Relations, Index of Parental Attitudes, Family Awareness Scale, and Dyadic Adjustment Scale. Analysis of the mean scores indicated that these lesbian and heterosexual mothers gathered in a snowball sampling had remarkably similar scores on self-reported stress, adjustment, competence, and quality of the relationship with their families, although variability was larger for the lesbian group.
