The Effects of a Homophile Organization on the Self-Esteem and Alienation of Its Members

Greenberg, Jerrold S.

Journal of Homosexuality, 1, 3, 313-316, Spr 76

This study investigates the relationship between membership in a homophile organization and the dependent variables Self-Esteem and Alienation. It was found that Self-Esteem remained unaffected while Alienation levels decreased initially but started rising again after a 1-year period of participation in the organization. (Author)
