While earlier studies primarily focused on heterosexual populations, recent research has increasingly explored attention in sexual minority individuals (SMIs). Building on the incentive motivation and information processing models of sexual response, it can be hypothesized that differences in the appraisal of sexual stimuli contribute to variations in individuals\u00b4 sexual responses, raising the possibility that attention to sexual stimuli may be related to individuals\u2019 sexual identities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scoping review aimed to map the existing literature on attention to sexual stimuli among SMIs and to clarify the relationship between attention to sexual stimuli and sexual identity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A systematic literature search was conducted using PubMed, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, and ProQuest databases, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The search resulted in 1107 records, 56 of which were included in the review.
