Abstract/Summary

In studying how sex roles and patterns of passion, intimacy and commitment and conflict affect lesbian relationships, 150 lesbian women were gathered to generate the needed data through the use of three surveys: Sex Role Inventory of Bem (1974), the Tetrangular model of Yela (2006) and the Conflict Resolution Questionnaire of McClellan (1997). Results showed that most of the participants endorse an Androgynous sex role. The most evident pattern followed a Commitment > Intimacy > Romantic Passion > Erotic Passion flow. In resolving conflicts, identifying the needs of their partner is the area they excel in the most which is proved by having the consistent highest category while majority of the results identified difficulty in creating steps toward mutually healthy decisions as the weakest area of the participants.
