Abstract
Abstract An examination (N = 569) was made of the following hypotheses: (a) Homosexuals would be classified as androgynous more frequently than heterosexuals, and (b) age would have a more negative impact on self-concept, as measured by self-esteem and depression scores, in homosexual males than in heterosexual males. Results showed that homosexual men and women were more frequently androgynous than were heterosexual men and women. Age did not have a more negative impact on self-concept in homosexual men. The most potent predictor of psychological well-being was self-perceived masculinity scores. Self-esteem increased in all four groups as the masculinity scores increased.
