초록
본 연구에서는 합의적 질적 연구 방법을 통하여 동성애적 지향성을 지닌 남성 대학생의 사회불안 경험과 사회적 지지의 특성을 탐색하고자 하였다. 본인의 성적 지향성이 동성애적이라고 응답한 대학생 성인 남성 9명을 대상으로 반-구조화된 면담을 실시하였다. 수집된 자료는 3명의 분석팀원과 1명의 감수자에 의하여 분석되었다. 분석 결과, 사회불안과 사회적 지지의 2개 영역이 도출되었고, 이에 따라 총 9개의 하위 영역과 24개의 범주가 구성되었다. 사회불안은 일반적인 특성과 더불어 동성애적 지향성과 관련된 특성을 포함하고 있었다. 또한 대부분의 참가자는 자신이 경험하였던 사회불안이 사회적 지지에 의하여 감소되었다고 보고하였다. 이들이 긍정적으로 지각한 사회적 지지의 특성으로는 동성애적 지향성과 동성애적 지향성을 지닌 개인의 생활양식에 대한 올바른 이해와 수용, 구체적인 도움이나 서비스의 제공, 그리고 자신의 성적 지향성이 타인에게 알려지지 않는 방식으로 사회적 지지를 전달받는 것 등이 있었다. 본 연구의 참가자가 지지적인 대상을 만나는 경로는 크게 온라인과 오프라인으로 구분되었으며, 그 중에서도 온라인 경로가 일반적인 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 근거로 동성애에 대한 한국의 고유한 사회문화적 영향 및 차별과 편견에 대한 해결 방안, 동성애적 지향성을 지닌 남성이 경험하는 사회불안에 대한 접근에서 고려하여야 할 사항들을 논의하였으며, 연구의 제한점 및 후속 연구의 방향에 대하여 제시하였다.

Abstract
This study aimed to examine socially anxious experiences and the characteristics of social support among undergraduate males with homosexual orientation by using consensual qualitative research method. Nine males ranging from 19 to 26 years old participated in the semi-structured interview. Data were collected through the primary researcher of the study, and analyzed by three coders and one auditor. Two domains, 9 sub-domains and 24 categories emerged from the data. Social anxiety reported by the participants embodied general characteristics of social anxiety, as well as unique qualities associated with homosexual orientation. Research participants pointed out that characteristics such as accurate understanding and acceptance of sexual orientation and lifestyles of individuals with homosexual orientation, provision of specific help or service that best suits their needs, considerate way of delivering social support that protects their sexual orientation from being exposed to others were perceived as supportive. Two primary paths of approaching supportive individuals or groups were reported: online and offline. Implications to intervene social anxiety of individuals with homosexual orientation, considerations on the unique sociocultural influence of South Korea on the research participants, and suggestions for future research were discussed.
