Multilevel model results for women after multiple imputation
National indices | Sexual identity | Sexual attraction (ordinal) | Sexual attraction (continuous) |
---|---|---|---|
Gender equality | 0.99 (0.85, 1.16) | 0.98 (0.88, 1.10) | –0.01 (–0.11, 0.08) |
Gender power | 1.00 (0.98, 1.03) | 1.01 (0.99, 1.03) | 0.01 (–0.00, 0.03) |
Life expectancy | 0.99 (0.81, 1.21) | 1.00 (0.88, 1.15) | 0.01 (–0.10, 0.12) |
Income | 1.00 (1.00, 1.00) | 1.00 (1.00, 1.00) | –0.00 (–0.00, 0.00) |
Individualism-collectivism | 1.00 (0.98, 1.01) | 1.00 (0.99, 1.01) | –0.00 (–0.01, 0.01) |
Variance partition coefficient | 1.13% | 0.54% | 0.55% |
All models were adjusted for age and education level as individual-level covariates and religion and sex ratio as nation-level covariates. For sexual identity, heterosexual women are the reference group. For sexual attraction (ordinal), women who are predominantly not sexually attracted to the same-sex are the reference group. We reported adjusted odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals for ordinal outcome variable, and regression coefficients (beta) and 95% confidence intervals for a continuous outcome. The variance partition coefficient is interpreted as the proportion of the total residual variance in the propensity to be nonheterosexual/attracted to the same-sex is due to differences between nations
