Abstract
The effect of sexual assault on men is under‐studied in comparison to the research on women, according to a study conducted by researchers from Florida Atlantic University and Sam Houston State University. Researchers surveyed 5,922 men and 5,938 women from the National Violence Against Women Survey's database regarding the emotional effects post‐assault. The aim of the study was to examine whether both sexual assault and the emotional effects of sexual assault are underreported by men. “There is no room for ‘sexism’ in sexual assault research, and we must bring attention to an issue that impacts men equally, especially if we know that their negative emotional responses are treatable,” said Lisa M. Dario, Ph.D., associate professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at FAU, and the lead author of the study.
