| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This qualitative and quantitative study aimed to clarify the state of mind of sexual assault victims during the experience of sexual victimization as well as the factors promoting and inhibiting help-seeking behavior after sexual victimization. The results demonstrate that victims of sexual assault have difficulty perceiving what was done to them as victimization because at that time they were unable to move or could not resist, and as a result had trouble seeking counseling. These results suggest the importance of raising public awareness of what happens to victims during a sexual assault and the victimization process, thereby allowing them to perceive what was done to them as victimization without feeling self-blame, and enabling those around them to reach that understanding as well.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
性被害の被害者が，被害の際に抵抗できない状態になることは，これまでたびたび言及されてきた．しかし本研究では，被害者は被害時に身体が動かず抵抗できないだけではなく，加害者によって作られた上下関係により，社会的に抵抗できない状況に追いやられていることが明らかになった．これは性被害に直面した際の被害者の心理を明らかにしたという学術的意義があるだけではなく，社会に存在する「抵抗しなかったということは同意していたのでは」というレイプ神話に対する反証ともなる．本研究結果により明らかになった性被害の実態を広く伝えることは，性被害に対する社会の認識を変化させる，より広い意義があると考えられる．
