“…Similar to other forms of sexual harassment, men and women both report experiencing contrapower sexual harassment, but studies consistently fi nd that women are more bothered by the harassment than men are, and perceive similar behaviors to be more threatening and upsetting (DeSouza and Fansler 2003 ;Lampman et al 2009 ;Matchen and DeSouza 2000 ;McKinney 1990McKinney , 1992. In general, men compared to women are also more likely to commit contrapower sexual harassment (i.e., against both men and women; DeSouza and Fansler 2003 ;Grourholtz 1989 ).…”

“…One of the most robust conclusions relates to gender, with various studies reporting that men are more accepting of sexual harassment myths-and of sexual behavior at work more generally-than women are (e.g., Beauvais 1986;Kenig and Ryan 1986;Lott et al 1982;Maypole and Skaine 1982;Mazer and Percival 1989;McKinney 1990;Reese and Lindenberg 1999;Sigler and Johnson 1986;Tang et al 1995;U.S. Merit Systems Protection Board 1981).…”

Sexual Harassment Mythology: Definition, Conceptualization, and Measurement

Using rape myth research as a template, we developed a conceptual definition and measurement instrument for the mythology regarding male sexual harassment of women, resulting in the 20-item Illinois Sexual Harassment Myth Acceptance (ISHMA) Scale. Surveys from 337 students in the Midwestern region of the United States revealed that this measure consists of four factors, which share predicted relationships with rape mythology, sexism, hostility toward women, traditional attitudes toward women, and ideological support for the feminist movement. We also found that women and individuals with prior training on sexual harassment reject these myths more than men and untrained individuals. It is hoped that this new definition, conceptualization, and measure will advance knowledge on attitudes that support and perpetuate violence against women.

“…Studies have documented the widespread occurrence of sexual harassment in educational settings (Dziech and Weiner, 1984;Fitzgerald et al, 1988;Fitzgerald and Ormerod, 1991;Mazer and Percival, 1989;McKinney, 1990;Paludi and Barickman, 1991;Reilly et al, 1986). Incidence studies conducted on various campuses in the United States have shown that men are often the harassers and women the victims (Adams, Kottke, and Padgitt, 1983;Bond, 1988;Dziech and Weiner, 1984;Fitzgerald, 1993;Reilly et al, 1986).…”

Sexual harassment of Chinese college students with a focus on their awareness, experiences, responses, and expectations of institutional intervention to the problem was examined. 358 male and 491 female Chinese college students in Hong Kong participated. There were no gender differences in students' awareness of the phenomenon. Students' own experiences were less frequent than what they had heard about sexual harassment. Peer harassment occurred twice as frequently as faculty harassment. Compared to men, twice as many women said they had been sexually harassed. About one in four women students experienced various forms of sexual harassment and 1% were coerced into sexual activities during their college years by either teachers or peers. Students typically avoided and ignored the harassers and felt that the university should take up active roles in combating the problem. Comparisons with U.S. studies suggested that Chinese college students had a lower awareness and experience level in sexual harassment than U.S. students.
