SEXUAL MINORITY IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT Abstract: The purpose of this grounded theory qualitative study was to generate a theoretical model describing how mentoring impacts sexual identity development of university students. Seventeen self-identified gay male university students in this study were participants in one of three possible formal or informal mentoring environments: a university-sponsored gay, lesbian, or bisexual (GLB) mentoring program where the mentors are faculty or staff; a university-sponsored GLB mentoring program where the mentors are peers; or a university that does not offer a GLB mentoring program and any GLB-related mentoring has been informal and completely incidental to the student's university work. A variety of data collection methods were used to explore how a sexual minority male university student's participation in mentoring activities impacts the process of his sexual identity development. |
