“…The other articles used self-report measures to tap general attitudes about sexual harassment and found that HS (usually among both men and women) was positively associated with tolerance (Mou et al, 2021; Russell & Trigg, 2004; Shi & Zheng, 2020) and trivialization (Sakalli-Uğurlu et al, 2010) of sexual harassment, victim blaming (Saunders et al, 2017), and negative perceptions of the #MeToo movement (Kunst et al, 2019; but cf. Mou et al, 2021). There are few findings for BS and attitudes toward sexual harassment, and these are mixed, with some finding no association (Kunst et al, 2019; Russell & Trigg, 2004; Shi & Zheng, 2020), one article finding a negative association with the trivialization of sexual harassment (Sakalli-Uğurlu et al, 2010), and one article finding increased victim blaming among high BS individuals when women victims of harassment reported the case several years later (Lucarini et al, 2020).…”

According to ambivalent sexism theory (Glick & Fiske, 1996), the coexistence of gendered power differences and mutual interdependence creates two apparently opposing but complementary sexist ideologies: hostile sexism (HS; viewing women as manipulative competitors who seek to gain power over men) coincides with benevolent sexism (BS; a chivalrous view of women as pure and moral, yet weak and passive, deserving men’s protection and admiration, as long as they conform). The research on these ideologies employs the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, used extensively in psychology and allied disciplines, often to understand the roles sexist attitudes play in reinforcing gender inequality. Following contemporary guidelines, this systematic review utilizes a principled approach to synthesize the multidisciplinary empirical literature on ambivalent sexism. After screening 1,870 potentially relevant articles and fully reviewing 654 eligible articles, five main domains emerge in ambivalent sexism research (social ideologies, violence, workplace, stereotypes, intimate relationships). The accumulating evidence across domains offers bottom-up empirical support for ambivalent sexism as a coordinated system to maintain control over women (and sometimes men). Hostile sexism acts through the direct and diverse paths of envious/resentful prejudices, being more sensitive to power and sexuality cues; Benevolent sexism acts through prejudices related to interdependence (primarily gender-based paternalism and gender-role differentiation), enforcing traditional gender relations and being more sensitive to role-related cues. Discussion points to common methodological limitations, suggests guidelines, and finds future avenues for ambivalent sexism research.

“…When faced with SH, which may lead to losing control over their personal or professional lives, men and women suffer the painful consequences equally. This outcome may be particularly true for college students, who are relatively sexually inexperienced and vulnerable to gossip and judgment from people around them [ 29 , 44 ], and lack sufficient emotional control and coping skills.…”

Objectives: This study examined the association between sexual harassment (SH) and college students’ mental health in the Chinese context and its gender differences, exploring the moderating role of social support.Methods: Data were from the Third Survey of Chinese Women’s Social Status and included 5,032 college students. We employed the ordinary least squares (OLS) regression models with interaction terms to report the moderating effects of gender and social support on the association between SH and mental health.Results: Gender harassment and unwelcome sexual attention were negatively associated with mental health among all students, with no observed gender difference. Financial and large-scale emotional support moderated the association between unwelcome sexual attention and women’s mental health but were not buffer factors for men. Learning support aggravated the adverse association between gender harassment and men’s mental health.Conclusion: SH is a significant trigger for men’s and women’s mental health problems. When they are subjected to SH, financial and emotional support are protective resources for women, but learning support is risky for men.

“…Influenced by feminism and the “Me Too” movement, Chinese women are increasingly aware of sexual harassment (Chen et al, 2022; Lin and Yang, 2019; Mou et al, 2022; Wang et al, 2021). The nationally representative data of CHFLS 2000 and SSC 2006, 2010, and 2015 show that Chinese are experiencing less verbal sexual harassment but more behavioral sexual harassment (Pan, 2017).…”

In the past four decades, sexuality research in China has made considerable advancements. From historical and sociological perspectives, our study reviews the literature and provides a comprehensive overview of sexuality in contemporary China by drawing on recent survey data that we collected. First, we introduce sexuality in ancient and modern China and discuss the social contexts that gave rise to a sexual revolution in China. Second, we briefly review empirical research on sexuality in China. Finally, we present results on recent changes and socioeconomic patterns of sexual attitudes and behaviors based on our survey—the 2020 Chinese Private Life Survey. A cohort analysis reveals that sexual attitudes have become more liberal in China, with an earlier sex debut and more diverse sexual activities. Surprisingly, however, we find that sexuality seems to have diminished in its appeal among young cohorts, who have lower rates of sexual frequency than preceding cohorts. In addition, we find a reversal in educational gradient in relation to sexual activeness and diversity. Among those born before 1980, highly educated Chinese are more sexually active, while among those born after 1980 the lower educated are more sexually active—in terms of their sexual activity with their partners, seeking out sexual partners online, and engaging in commercial sex. Compared with women, men have higher levels of sexual well-being.
