Sexual Harassment, Bullying, and School Outcomes for High School Girls and Boys

Abstract: A comparison of the impact of bullying and sexual harassment on five school outcomes was conducted on a sample of high school students. Results revealed that sexual harassment was a stronger predictor than bullying of all school outcomes for both sexes, but especially for girls. This study suggests that sexual harassment, which activates sexist and heterosexist stereotypes, erodes school engagement, alienates students from teachers, and adversely affects academic achievement, to a greater degree than bullying … Show more

“…Therefore, we can also apply the concept of hegemonic masculinity to understand structures that influence attitudes among boys and young men, as well as in relation to and among girls and young women.

“…With regard to same‐sex peer‐to‐peer aggression, relational aggression is the preferred strategy used among girls (Österman et al, ; Salmivalli & Kaukiainen, ). Similarly, girls are relatively more likely to be victimized by sexual harassment, in comparison to boys (Goldstein, Malanchuk, Davis‐Kean, & Eccles, ; Gruber & Fineran, ; Schnoll, Connolly, Josephson, Pepler, & Simkins‐Strong, ). Additionally, there is some evidence that the implications of sexual harassment may differ for boys and girls, with girls being at particular risk for negative psychosocial implications including substance use, lowered self‐esteem, self‐injury, and objectified body consciousness (e.g., Goldstein et al, ; Lindberg, Grabe, & Hyde, ; Marshall, Faaborg‐Andersen, Tilton‐Weaver, & Stattin, ).…”
