“…Participants’ responses to the open-ended question of what they thought Scott did or said to Michelle were coded for the type and harmfulness of Scott’s behavior. Preregistered coding categories for what the perpetrator did (see https://osf.io/fkq6c/) were developed based on the Sexual Experiences Questionnaire (Fitzgerald et al, 1988) and the Sexual Harassment Experience Questionnaire (Kamal & Tariq, 1997; Talukdar et al, 2019). Two coders categorized each response into one of nine categories (see Table 5).…”

Third-party observers' opinions affect how organizations handle sexual harassment. Prior research has focused on perceptions of sexual harassment targeting straight cisgender women. We examined how targets' sexual orientation and gender identity impact these perceptions. In three preregistered studies, straight cisgender participants imagined a coworker confided that a male colleague had sexually harassed her. The target was a transgender woman, a lesbian woman, or a woman whose sexual orientation and gender identity were unspecified. In Study 1 (N=428), participants reported believing that sexual harassment targeting lesbians and women with unspecified identities was most likely motivated by attraction and power, whereas sexual harassment targeting transgender women was seen as most likely motivated by power and prejudice. Despite these differences in perceived motivation, in Study 2 (N=421) perceptions of appropriate consequences for the perpetrator did not vary based on the target's identity. Study 3 (N=473) demonstrated that the specific behavior of which sexual harassment is assumed to consist differs based on the target's identity. Whereas women with unspecified identities and lesbians were assumed to face stereotypical attraction-based harassment, transgender women were assumed to face gender harassment. Stereotypes about sexual harassment can bias thirdparty assumptions, invalidating experiences that do not match pervasive stereotypes.

“…Participants' written descriptions of what they thought John did to Michelle were read by the authors, who developed content-coding categories based on recurring themes. In doing so, we relied on prior work that has developed measures of sexual harassment that people report experiencing (e.g., Fitzgerald et al, 1995;Kamal & Tariq, 1997;Talukdar et al, 2019). Items on these measures index unwanted sexual attention, repeated requests for dates, acts of unwanted physical touch, gender harassment, comments about the target's appearance, sexual assault attempts, and sexual coercion.…”

Do Sexual Harassment Claimants’ Gender Identity and Race Influence Third-Party Observers’ Assumptions About the Harassment Incident?

Sexual harassment research typically focuses on White cisgender women. Are harassment targets who are not White cisgender women perceived similarly? In three preregistered studies, participants (Study 1: N = 442; Study 2: N = 2,088, nationally representative U.S. sample; Study 3: N = 577) read about a formal (Studies 1 and 2) or informal (Study 3) sexual harassment claim made by a woman whose gender identity (cisgender vs. transgender) and race (Black vs. White) varied. Details about the incident were redacted, and participants wrote about what they thought the harasser had done. These free-response data indicated that cisgender (vs. transgender) women were seen as more likely to have experienced unwanted references to appearance, unwanted sexual attention (in Studies 2 and 3), or unwanted romantic attention (especially if they were White). Transgender (vs. cisgender) women, regardless of race, were seen as more likely to have experienced gender harassment. The claimant's race had little systematic effect, suggesting that perceivers are less attentive to the potential impact of race (vs. gender identity) on sexual harassment. People's inferences about the types of sexual harassment that women are most likely to face can impact the support claimants may receive when they come forward with a sexual harassment claim.
