Self-Acceptance Victims of the Binomo Fraud Investment
Abstract
This study aimed to examine the self-acceptance of the victims of the Binomo fraudulent investment using a qualitative research method and a case study approach. Five research subjects experienced a loss of more than 3 million Rupiah due to playing Binomo and aged 18-25 years. They were selected by purposive sampling-snowball sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and observation. Thematic analysis and source triangulation through interviews and observations were used to ensure valid findings. The results found that most subjects had good positive self-acceptance, but there were obstacles and discomfort in presenting themselves as they were victims of fraudulent investments. It has implications for the absence of external factors or support from the environment because victims feel ashamed and do not share their experiences with others, so the internal factor is the most supportive factor in the acceptance of the self in the victims of investment. Each individual has a different dynamic of self-acceptance sequence of stages, and it takes time for self-acceptance. However, all subjects in this study experienced at least two stages of self-acceptance and the bargaining stage were experienced before entering the acceptance stage. The length of the self-acceptance process was not always related to the magnitude of the loss. It is hoped that further research will deepen and enrich the findings with different subject characteristics and prove the interrelationship of the variables obtained in this study to become novelties for science in psychology.
Keywords: self-acceptance, victims of investment scams, binomo
