Abstract

We examined sexual self-schema – cognitive frameworks that organize information about one’s own sexuality – in heterosexuals and sexual minorities. Increasing levels of bisexual attraction predicted less positive self-schema among women with low attraction to gender non-binary (NB) individuals, but more positive self-schema in women with high NB attractions.
