Note: Sexual minority women (SMW) who were missing either of the two sexual orientation indicator variables at any given wave were excluded from structural equation modeling analyses (n = 10). SMW who reported a sexual identity as “other” (Wave 1, n = 2; Wave 2, n = 7; Wave 3, n = 6) or “transgender” (n = 4 at Wave 3 only) are not included in this table but retained in analyses. Bolded values highlight factor scores corresponding to sexual orientation dimensions observed at that same wave of data collection. Factor scores are centered at each respective wave. Higher (more positive) estimated identity-attraction discordance scores reflect sexual attraction that is more opposite sex–oriented than sexual identity, whereas lower (more negative) scores reflect sexual attraction that is more same sex–oriented than contemporaneous sexual identity.
