Abstract

The study talks about how different cultures have a perception that sexual orientation and gender
are the major characteristics that define an individual. Different theories have been brought up by
several psychologists. They attempt to explain to us how in the human psychology, gender and
sexual orientation are an important and interesting topic. Gender and sexual orientation are not
just an individual’s characteristic, but also a characteristic of a whole culture. Being male or
female, straight or gay greatly determines other perceptions and actions towards us.
Literature review
Gender identity and sexual orientation is a subject with great impact on the society and for this
reason, different psychological researchers have put in a lot of work in trying to examine and
prove this. The level to which a person categorizes himself/herself with masculine or feminine
personality traits is what is referred to as gender identity. This is not the exclusive definition of
gender identity as different researchers have come up with different definitions that tend to
capture more than just personality traits. Despite all the efforts put in by these studies, significant
or important findings have been very minimal. This may be due to operationalization issues
(Palan et al., 1999), fading gender categories (Firat, 1993), application and interpretation of
gender identity in inappropriate ways to different consumer variables (Gould, 1996). This paper
gives an exclusive review based on models of the theory of sexual orientation, gender identity,
and lawful sexual activities. This paper also evaluates whether sexual orientation, gender
identity, and lawful sexual activities are warranted and gives specific questions of research with
an aim of guiding future research.

Methods of the study

Behavior genetics
This is the study of psychological characteristics and specifically their genetic organs. Different
researchers have often used this method of research to get the quantity and understanding of
sexual orientation based on genetics. Research involves conducting studies of adoption by
estimating the rates of concordance in homosexual orientation in different siblings who have
been brought up in different environments. For instance, in a case where one sibling has been
adopted by another family. These studies indicate that the rate of concordance varies from 6 to
11 percent; if one sibling is gay, chances of the other sibling also being homosexual ranges
between six to eleven percent. The findings show that homosexual orientations have immense
genetic components. This thought might not be completely influenced by the environment or the
genes.
Meta-Analysis
Most researchers’ interests are always to compare differences in psychology of different groups,
for example, the psychological difference between females and males or even heterosexual and
homosexuals. The findings may always differ due to factors such as research error, methodology
differences...
