Abstract

Sexual victimization may have serious consequences for victims' well-being. Thus, seeking support is encouraged and associated with positive outcomes. However, no research has compared the help-seeking behavior of victims of contact and image-based (i.e., noncontact) sexual violence. This study explores the differences in help-seeking behavior, and barriers to help-seeking, by comparing datasets from two online survey studies. The findings highlight that victims of contact sexual violence appear more likely to seek help, but also experience the barriers to help-seeking as greater. An exception is the minimization of the incident, which is experienced similarly by both. Future longitudinal research is recommended.

接触性暴力和基于形象的性骚扰和性虐待受害者求助行为的比较研究》。

性受害可能会对受害者的福祉造成严重后果。因此，寻求支持是值得鼓励的，也与积极的结果相关。然而，还没有研究比较过接触性性暴力和基于图像（即非接触性）性暴力受害者的求助行为。本研究通过比较两项在线调查研究的数据集，探讨了求助行为的差异和求助障碍。研究结果表明，接触性暴力的受害者似乎更有可能寻求帮助，但同时也感受到了更大的求助障碍。将事件最小化是一个例外，两者的经历相似。建议今后开展纵向研究。
