Zusammenfassung:Compared 42 male homosexual undergraduates with heterosexual controls on 19 life experience factors. The factors were developed from a biographical questionnaire and, in turn, were used to develop subgroups homogeneous with respect to previous experience. The homosexuals differed on 8 of the 19 dimensions. The pattern was one indicating interest in solitary activities and lack of interest in organized activities. The homosexuals were not monolithic, but they were restricted to 3 of the 23 subgroups.
