“…By contrast, informal support seeking should be greater among Turks and Hispanics, who share a collectivist emphasis on affiliation and interdependence (e.g., Triandis, Leung, Villareal, & Clack, 1985). Furthermore, collectivist concerns for maintaining interpersonal harmony and avoiding conflict (e.g., Kozan, 1994;Triandis, Marin, Lisansky, & Betancourt, 1984) should foster greater avoidance/denial and less negotiation/confrontation-especially among Turkish and Hispanic women, whose cultures discourage female assertiveness (e.g., Barkley & Mosher, 1995;Levine, 1982).…”

This study explicates the complexity of sexual harassment coping behavior among 4 diverse samples of working women: (a) working-class Hispanic Americans, (b) working-class Anglo Americans, (c) professional Turks, and (d) professional Anglo Americans. K-means cluster analysis revealed 3 common harassment coping profiles: (a) detached, (b) avoidant negotiating, and (c) support seeking. The authors then tested an integrated framework of coping profile determinants, involving social power, stressor severity, social support, and culture. Analysis of variance, chi-square, and discriminant function results identified significant determinants at each of the 4 levels of this ecological model. These findings underscore the importance of focusing on whole patterns of experience-and considering influences at the level of the individual employee and multiple levels of the surrounding context-when studying how women cope with workplace sexual harassment.
