The association between minority stigma and disproportionately high rates of substance abuse/mental health problems have been widely explored and reported in a large number of studies among lesbian women in Western countries. However, similar research efforts among Chinese women with same-sex attraction remain scarce, partially due to the lack of culturally competent measurements for minority stigma of Chinese women with same-sex attraction (WSSA). This study employed a grounded theory approach to understand minority stigma that Chinese WSSA experience in their everyday lives. The point of this project was not to apply minority stigma scales developed in Western countries to WSSA in mainland China, but rather to subject these instruments to a specifically Chinese reformulation. Mixed research methodologies were employed to collect data both through in-depth telephone interviews using semi-structured qualitative questions, and through surveys with structured questions built upon stigma scales commonly used in the US and Europe. The emerged grounded theory revealed that the minority stigma experience of Chinese WSSA is formed by two consistent parallel sub-processes: denial of the existence of female same-sex attraction, and monsterization of female same-sex attraction. Data analysis suggested that compulsory heterosexual marriage was a central phenomenon of the grounded theory, playing as the pathway by which minority stigma performs against Chinese WSSA. The findings of this study provided insights into developing minority stigma scales with cultural validity for the rarely studied minority-Chinese WSSA, in the rarely studied locus-mainland China.
