다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to specifically explore the social stigma, self-stigma, and psychological experiences of male victims of sexual violence in response to stigma. In-depth interviews were conducted with five male victims who had experienced sexual violence, including forced molestation and rape, and the data were analyzed using Giorgi’s phenomenological method.. As a result, 79 core meanings, 26 themes, and 7 categories were identified. The categories included: ‘perception of social stigma toward male victims of sexual violence’, ‘actual experiences of social stigma against male victims of sexual violence’, ‘manifestations of internalized social stigma’, ‘concealment of victimization and avoidance of help-seeking due to stigma’, ‘negative changes in interpersonal relationships due to stigma’, ‘positive changes following stigma experiences’, and ‘the importance of social support and the need for improved social awareness’. The findings revealed the specific contents of social stigma perceived by male victims, the manifestations of self-stigma, and how stigma influences the concealment of victimization, difficulties in help-seeking, and negative changes in interpersonal relationships. Furthermore, the importance of social support was identified, and the need for social awareness improvement regarding male sexual violence victimization was discussed.
